Owner’s Manual: Important Safety Instructions 2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself except to
follow the maintenance instructions found in this manual.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep
hands and towels away from moving parts.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power cord
and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock.
• Do not set anything on the handrails, display console, or
hood. Place liquids, magazines, and books in the
appropriate receptacles.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrail(s),
display console, or hood.
The treadmill must be connected
to a dedicated, grounded circuit.
See Grounding Instructions.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your
workout and avoid loose clothing. Do not wear shoes
with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your
shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie
long hair back.
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Always
grasp the handrail when stepping onto the running belt
and keep the initial speed at or below 1 mile per hour
(mph) or 1.5 kilometer per hour (kph). Never step off the
treadmill while the running belt is moving.
• Before the running belt begins moving (before your
workout), and after it stops (at the end of your workout),
straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right
and left staging platforms.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt
to turn around on the treadmill.
• The safety clip must be attached at waist level before
your workout. A lanyard connects the safety clip to a red
magnet on the display console. If you encounter
difficulties, a strong tug on the lanyard dislodges the
magnet and stops the running belt.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your
workout immediately and consult your physician.
• When the treadmill is not in use, disconnect the unit by
turning the power switch to the Off (O) position, and
then remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
