HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
I
MPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
p
erature before turning on the power. If you do not
do this, the console displays or other electrical
components may become damaged.
Plug in the power cord
(see page 11). Next, locate
the reset/off circuit breaker
on the treadmill frame near
the power cord. Switch the
circuit breaker to the reset
position.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. If the displays light as soon as
you plug in the power cord and switch the circuit
breaker to the reset position, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down
the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays
remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page
23 to turn off the demo mode.
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 12)
and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.
Then, insert the key into the console. After a moment,
the displays will light. IMPORTANT: In an emergency
situation, the key can be pulled from the console,
causing the walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the
clip by carefully taking a few steps backward; if the
key is not pulled from the console, adjust the posi-
tion of the clip.
