HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do
not do this, you may damage the console displays
or other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
page 16). Next, locate the
power switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power
cord. Press the power
switch into the reset
position.
Next, stand on the
foot rails of the tread-
mill. Find the clip
attached to the key
and slide the clip onto
the waistband of your
clothes. Then, insert
the key into the con-
sole. After a moment,
the displays will light.
IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the key can be
pulled from the console, causing the walking belt
to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking
a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from
the console, adjust the position of the clip.
IMPORTANT: Before you use the treadmill, take
the following steps to ensure that the console
shows the correct incline level of the treadmill:
First, press the Incline increase button once. Next,
press either the Incline decrease button or the low-
est Quick Grade button to set the treadmill to its
lowest setting. When the frame stops moving, the
treadmill is ready for use.
