TRX2500 Treadmill
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used
at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt. Pulling this
safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement. To Use:
1. Place the magnet into position on the round metal portion of the console control head. Your
treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill
from unauthorized use.
2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The
magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should
be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and
limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime
the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.
NEVER
operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any
operational change you request from the computer.
Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired work
level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the
command gradually.
NEVER
use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power
supply that could damage treadmill components. Unplug the treadmill during an
electrical storm as a precaution.
Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in
serious injury.
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly
with little finger pressure.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
SAFETY TETHER CORD
Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose
yourself (and possibly others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
Please read before unpacking your folding treadmill. Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill
is not unpacked properly.
There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding
accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unex-
pectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed.
To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill
is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do not
turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the treadmill’s
folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab to remove it)
happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up
to gain access to the strap end.
