CONGRATULATIONS!

on choosing your treadmill. You’ve taken an important step in developing and

sustaining an exercise program! Your treadmill is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal

fitness goals. Regular use of your treadmill can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF ExERCISE:

• Weight Loss

• A Healthier Heart

• Improved Muscle Tone

• Increased Daily Energy Levels

The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you eliminate

obstacles that prevent you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your

workout when you use your treadmill in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic

information for using and enjoying your new machine.

LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL

Place the treadmill on a level surface. There should be 6 feet of clearance

behind the treadmill, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for folding

and the power cord. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block

any vent or air openings. The treadmill should not be located in a garage,

covered patio, near water or outdoors.

DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT

While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt.

Place your feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start

walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start the

treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on!

SAFETY KEY

Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to your

clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation

of the safety key every 2 weeks.

NEVER USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR

CLOTHING. PULL ON THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT

COME OFF YOUR CLOTHING.
