• The product should never be left unattended when plugged in. Disconnect from the electrical outlet when not in
use, and before putting on or taking off parts.
• Never operate the product if it has a damaged power cord or electrical plug, or if it has been dropped, damaged,
or even partially immersed in water. Contact Customer Support Services.
• Position the product so that the power cord plug to the wall is accessible to the user. Make sure that the power cord
is not knotted or twisted and that it is not trapped under any equipment or other objects.
• If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a
similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
• Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have supervision or been given instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Do not use this product outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.
• Never operate the product with the air openings blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair, or any other
obstructing material.
• Never insert objects into any opening in these products. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug
the power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Customer Support
Services.
• Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are
recommended.
• Do not use these products in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not

handle.
• Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.
• Never walk or jog backwards on the unit.
• Do not use this product in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being

• If warnings are missing or damaged, please contact Customer Support Services immediately for replacement
warning labels. Warning labels are shipped with every product and should be installed before product is used. Life
Fitness is not responsible for missing or damaged warning labels.
• Unlike bikes, cross-trainers, or the traditional paddle stairclimbers, this is a motorized product. This motorized
product causes stair steps to descend at variable rates and therefore operates on different planes simultaneously.
While operating the product during a typical workout, the user is forced to fully concentrate on coordinating his or
her efforts on the moving stairs. Therefore, the user cannot see if anyone or any thing approaches from the rear. For
