IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Never power up the computer or start the treadmill while standing on the walking belt. You should
straddle the walking deck by standing on the side rails until the belt starts moving. Don’t wait for the
treadmill to ramp up to full speed before stepping onto the walking belt.
Make sure that all users are familiar with the instructions and precautions in this manual. Allow only
one person at a time on your treadmill. Always keep your body facing forward when the walking belt
is moving. Use the handles when mounting, operating and exiting your treadmill.
It’s a good idea to remove the magnetic Safety Key when you finish your workout to prevent
unauthorized use. If your treadmill is going to be left unattended, remove the Safety Key and
unplug the power cord.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Programs
Caution !
You should consult your physician to determine your target heart rate.
After determining your target heart rate, monitor your heart rate while using the Manual Program
to help choose the optimal walking belt speed. The speed should be set at a comfortable pace that
slowly brings your heart rate to approximately 10 BPM (beats per minute) below your target.
While walking at your optimal speed, the 955 computer will automatically adjust the incline to help
you reach your target heart rate.
If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop and consult your physician immediately.
Treadmill Maintenance
Allow only trained personnel to service your treadmill.
Do not modify your treadmill, use any parts or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer,
or attempt any service other than the assembly and maintenance recommended in this manual.
Always unplug the power cord before attempting to move or perform any maintenance on your treadmill.
When folded, make sure that the Safety Lock is fully engaged. Refer to the Folding And Lowering The
Treadmill section of this manual for the proper folding and lowering procedure.
Regularly inspect and tighten any of the hardware used in the treadmill assembly process.
