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
t
hat 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 where oxygen is being
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 on the treadmill at a
time.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women.
Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
9. When connecting the power cord (see page
7), plug the power cord into a surge protector
(not included) and plug the surge protector
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be
on the same circuit.
10. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
a
way from heated surfaces.
12. 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
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-
mill is not working properly.)
13. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
14. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
15. Do not use the hand weights at speeds higher
than a walk. Using hand weights and not hold-
ing the handrails may compromise your ability
to maintain your balance. Exercises using
hand weights should be attempted only by ex-
perienced users.
16. 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.)
17. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO MOVE
THE TREADMILL on page 21.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
18. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
19. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.
20. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
