IV. OPERATING THE TREADMILL:
TURN POWER ON
The ON/OFF switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the back of the
motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.
SAFETY TETHER KEY AND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall. Therefore, the
safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to a abrupt stop. At high speeds, it may be
uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete stop immediately. So, use the
safety key as emergency stop only. To bring the treadmill to a complete stop safely and
comfortably, use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into the key holder at the
side of the console. The other end of the safety key should be securely clipped to your clothing
so that in case you fall, you will pull the safety key from the console, which will stop the treadmill
immediately to minimize injury. For your safety, never use the treadmill without securing the
safety key clipped to your clothing. Pull on the safety key clip to make sure it will not come off
your clothing.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while getting
on or off safely. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the running belt.
Straddle the running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the treadmill deck. Place
your foot on the belt only after the belt has begun to move at a consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing forward at all times. Never attempt to turn
around on the treadmill when the running belt is still moving. When you have finished
exercising, stop the treadmill by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the treadmill comes to
a complete stop before attempting to get off the treadmill
.
If you feel uneasy with the speed and are not sure how to stop, hold the handlebars, lift your feet
off the running belt and place on both sides of the side landing. The side landing is a
non-moving platform and would be a good place to rest before resuming the workout. Always
remember to start at a low speed for your safety and comfort.
WARNING!
NEVER use this
treadmill without first
securing the safety
tether clip to your
clothing.
CAUTION!
For your safety, step
onto the belt when the
speed is no more
than 1.5 MPH or 2.4
Km/H.
NEVER start the
treadmill at a running
speed and attempt to
get on while it is
moving fast.
NOTE!
The deck should NOT
be folded unless the
elevation is at 0%
grade. Attempts to
fold the deck while it
is elevated may
cause damage to the
frame.
