Setting Up Your Treadmill
3
Allow only one person at a time on your machine.
Do not operate treadmill without the safety key attached to
the console and the lanyard clipped to your clothing at
approximately waist height.
Always straddle the treadbelt and allow the belt to begin
moving before stepping onto the belt.
Use extreme caution when stepping onto moving tread belt.
Some programs begin at speeds as high as 4.8 mph.
Gradually slow down the belt before stopping. This will
minimize the sensation of movement after you stop.
When making treadbelt adjustments, keep fingers, loose
clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from moving parts.
Setting Up Your Treadmill
Place your treadmill on a clean, level surface. Make sure the
electrical cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet
and has enough slack to allow the deck to incline without
tightening the cord. Do not allow the treadmill assembly to
rest on the cord.
Although your treadmill is designed to operate on most
carpeted surfaces, some deeply padded or heavy shag carpets
can cause damage. To prevent damage to your treadmill or
carpet, have someone stand on the deck and make sure the
treadmill belt doesn’t touch the carpet at any point.
Your treadmill is designed for indoor use only. Always keep
the control panel out of direct sunlight.
