IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons
with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and
precautions.
3. Use the incline trainer only as described.
4. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
5. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind
it and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on any surface that blocks
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the incline
trainer.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
8. The incline trainer should be used only by
persons weighing 350 lbs. (159 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the
incline trainer. Athletic support clothes are
recommended for both men and women.
Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the
incline trainer with bare feet, wearing only
stockings, or in sandals.
11. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included), and plug the surge suppres-
sor into an appropriate outlet (see page 13).
To avoid overloading the circuit, do not plug
other electrical devices, except for low-power
devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the
same circuit.
12. Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of
the specifications described on page 13. To
purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
NORDICTRACK dealer, call the telephone
number on the front cover of this manual, or
see your local electronics store.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the
control system of the incline trainer. If the
control system is damaged, the walking belt
may slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
15. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged,
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 24 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline trainer
(see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 15).
17. Never start the incline trainer while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.
18. The incline trainer is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
