statements can result in serious injury!
• Do not use this product without first consulting your
doctor if you suffer from any illness, condition, or
disability that affects your ability to run, walk or
exercise.
• Do not use this product without supervision present if
you are suffering from any illness, condition, or
disability which affects your ability to run, walk or
exercise. Failure to do so can result in serious injury
should you fall while the treadbelt is moving.
• Failure to leave ample clearance around the treadmill
could cause you to be trapped between the treadmill

clearance of 18 inches (46 cm) on each side of the
treadmill. Allow a minimum clearance of 6 feet (183
cm) at the rear of the treadmill.

balance. Always begin by placing your feet on the side
traction strips, straddling the treadbelt, before turning
the treadmill on.
• Always wear the safety lanyard clip securely on your
clothing while exercising. Failure to do so can result in
severe injuries should you accidentally fall while
exercising.
• Test the emergency stop safety lanyard regularly by
pulling on the cord and ensuring that the treadbelt
comes to a complete stop when key is pulled.
• Familiarize yourself with this manual. Be sure you
understand operation of the treadmill before use.
• Always follow basic safety precautions when using an
electrical appliance.
