When using the C964i or C962i, take the following precautions:
WARNING — MAXIMUM SPEED MAY EXCEED USER’S CAPABILITIES
While the C964i or C962i treadmill is set at the manufacturer’s for a maximum
speed of 12 miles per hour, the treadmill can be programmed for a maximum
speed of 15 mph (24 kph), or 4 minute miles (6 minute kilometers). The higher
speed is designed for the occasional use of a highly competitive runner, and may
exceed the capabilities of many users, particularly with extended use. If the unit
is programmed for a maximum speed of 15 mph (24 kph), then each user must
be individually informed of the higher limit, and warned that the speed may
exceed that user’s capabilities. In addition, the unit must be clearly marked that
it has been set for a maximum speed of 15 mph (24 kph).
Do not allow children on or near the treadmill without adult supervision. Do
not leave children unsupervised around the treadmill. Turn OFF the tread-
mill and switch the safety key OFF, to help guard against unauthorized use.
Turn OFF and unplug the treadmill when adjusting or working near the rear
roller. Do not make any adjustments to the running belt when someone is
standing on the unit.
Keep all electrical components, such as the motor, power cable etc., away
from water or other liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the
handrail, display console, or hood. Never place liquids on any part of the unit.
Always attach the safety clip to your clothing prior to beginning your workout.
A cord connects the safety clip to the safety switch on the treadmill. By
pulling on the cord, you can stop the running belt if you encounter difficulties.
Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate it at
least 4 feet from walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the treadmill clear.
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no 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.
Keep all loose clothing and towels away from the running surface. The belt
will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Use the handrails whenever
possible. Do not get on or off the treadmill when the running belt is moving.
Before the running belt begins moving (prior to your workout), and after it
stops (at the end of a workout), straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly
on the right and/or left staging platforms.
Never turn ON the treadmill when someone is standing on the unit.
Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on
the treadmill when the running belt is moving.
Do not rock the unit or stand/climb on the handrails, display console, or hood.
Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself other than the assembly and
maintenance instructions found in this manual. See
Obtaining Service
.
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Stop your workout imme-
diately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms. Consult your physician.
