IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read all
important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your incline trainer before
using your incline trainer. FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or prop-
erty damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
1.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and
precautions.
2.
Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons
with pre-existing health problems.
3. The incline trainer is not intended for use
by persons with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the incline trainer by someone responsible
for their safety.
4.
Use the incline trainer only as described in
this manual.
5.
Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6.
Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 2.4 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind
it and 0.6 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, place a mat under the
incline trainer.
7.
Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.
8.
Do not operate the incline trainer until
it is properly and fully assembled (see
ASSEMBLY on page 8).
9.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the incline
trainer each time the incline trainer is used.
10. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
11. The incline trainer should not be used by per-
sons weighing more than 400 lbs. (181 kg).
12. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.
13. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the
incline trainer. Athletic support clothes are
recommended for both men and women.
Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the
incline trainer with bare feet, wearing only
stockings, or in sandals.
14. When connecting the power cord, follow the
instructions on page 17. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit as the incline
trainer. Do not use an extension cord.
15. Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces.
16. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 33 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
17. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline
trainer (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
on page 20). Always wear the clip while using
the incline trainer.
18. Always stand on the foot rails when starting
or stopping the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.
19. When a person is walking on the incline
trainer, the noise level of the incline trainer
will increase.
