WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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
manual.
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 mois-
ture 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 oxygen is administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow
more than one person at a time on the treadmill.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose
clothing that could become caught in the
treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women.
9.
Always wear athletic shoes when using the
treadmillÑnever use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
For maximum walking belt life, never use
shoes with heavy treads.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Use a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL
1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400
volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation
of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be
electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
13. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See BE-
FORE YOU BEGIN on page 4 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt.
15. Always hold the handrails when walking or
running on the treadmill.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds; adjust
the speed in small increments to avoid sudden
jumps in speed.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
18. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
19. When operating the treadmill, keep hands
and feet from underneath the treadmill.
20. The hand pulse sensor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The hand pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
