the latch knob. Release the latch knob. Make sure that
the platform is resting against the pin as shown.

mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age position in temperatures above 30° C (85° F).

CAUTION: Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
Always wear the clip (see the drawing below)
whilst operating the treadmill.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the heart rate programs. If you are
taking medication regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise hart rate.
To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on the console and place only a sealed water
bottle in the water bottle holder.
