SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and
back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot to-
ward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,
lower back, and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-
dons, and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your but-
tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times
for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.

informed of all warnings and precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 2.5

m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and 0.5 m (2 ft.)
on each side. Do not place the treadmill on a
surface that blocks any air openings. To pro-
tect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill.  

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water. 

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or where oxygen is being

6.   When choosing a location for the treadmill,

make sure that the location and position per-
mit access to a plug.

7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

8. The treadmill should be used only by persons

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women. Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals. 

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),

plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No
other appliance should be on the same circuit.
When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved
BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse car-
rier. A 13 amp fuse should be used. 

11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-

conductor, 1 mm

longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

faces.

13. Never move the walking belt whilst the power
