20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an

electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-
cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per-
sonal trainer describes the change.  

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can

manually override the speed and incline set-
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change
to the next settings of the CD or video program.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from

your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill every three months.

24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-

ing.

25.

DANGER:

Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any 
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
