IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over age 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it
and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the oor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the treadmill at all times.
8. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 300 lbs. (136 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while us-
ing the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women. Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
13), plug the power cord into a surge sup-
pressor (not included) and plug the surge
suppressor into a grounded circuit capable
of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appli-
ance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.
12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that meets all of the specications described
on page 13. To purchase a surge suppres-
sor, see your local Sears store or call the
telephone number on the back cover of this
manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.
13. Failure to use a properly-functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the
control system of the treadmill. If the control
system is damaged, the walking belt may
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which
may result in a fall and serious injury.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
15. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU-
BLESHOOTING on page 20 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15).
17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails or upper body arms while using the
treadmill.
18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Ad-
just the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
19. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precations and in-
structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. Sears as-
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of
this product.
