ProForm 785 TL Treadmill User Manual

8. You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) in order to raise or lower the treadmill.
9. Keep children and pets away from the tread-
mill at all times.
10. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds.
11. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
12. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing that could become caught in the tread-
mill. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women.
13. Always wear athletic shoes when using the
treadmill. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
14. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.
15. The treadmill operates on 120 V, 60 Hz, AC
power only. Consult your dealer before con-
necting the treadmill if you do not know the
AC voltage in your area, as incorrect voltage
might damage the treadmill or TV. Never con-
nect the treadmill to other than the specified
voltage such as 50 Hz or to direct current.
16. When connecting the power cord (see HOW
TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 9),
plug the power cord into a surge protector
(not included) and plug the surge protector
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be
on the same circuit. Do not overload wall out-
lets as this can result in a risk of electric
shock, fires and other hazards.
17. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.
18. The power cord and surge protector should
be positioned so they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to
the cords at the plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where the power cord
exits the treadmill. Keep the power cord and
surge protector away from heated surfaces.
19. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord
or plug is damaged or if the treadmill is not
working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN
on page 6 if the treadmill is not working prop-
erly.)
20. If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected, be sure that the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
21. An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or cir-
cuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
22. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
23. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
24. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill con-
tinuously for longer than one hour.
25. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Move the on/off switch to the ÒoffÓ
position when the treadmill is not in use.
26. To protect the treadmill and TV during light-
ning storms, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage due
to lightning and power line surges.
27. Do not push objects through any openings in
the treadmill or TV as they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in fire or electric shock. Never
