This Operation Manual describes the functions of the Life Fitness

T9e

Treadmill:

See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in
place, on a moving surface.

Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equip-
ment. Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical
exam before undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family histo-
ry of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high
cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or short-
ness of breath, he or she must stop immediately.

Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou exces-
sive de l'équipement. Life Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin
pour subir un examen médical complet avant de commencer tout programme d'exerci-
ce, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou
de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est
obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des
douleurs ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.
