1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
ownerÕs guide.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from
moisture 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
administered.

men and women. Always wear athletic shoes.
Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
9. When connecting the power cord (see
How to
Plug in the Power Cord
on page 8), plug the
power cord into an earthed circuit. When
replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved BS1362
type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13
amp fuse should be used. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit.

is not working properly.)
13. Never start the treadmill whilst you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold
the handrails whilst using the treadmill.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
15. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill
continuously for longer than one hour.
16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.

remove the key and press the on/off switch to
the ÒoffÓ position. (See the drawing on page 6
for the location of the on/off switch.)
