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 incline trainer are ad-
equately informed of all warnings and
precautions.
3. Use the incline trainer only as described.
4. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
5. Place the incline trainer 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 incline trainer on any surface that blocks
air openings. To protect the oor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the incline
trainer.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
8. The incline trainer should be used only by
persons weighing 350 lbs. (159 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the
incline trainer. Athletic support clothes are
recommended for both men and women.
Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the
incline trainer with bare feet, wearing only
stockings, or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
14), 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 specications described
on page 14. To purchase a surge suppressor,
see your local NORDICTRACK dealer or call
the telephone number on the front 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 incline trainer. 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 incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged,
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 28 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline trainer
(see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
16).
17. Never start the incline trainer while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.
18. The incline trainer is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

structions in this manual and all warnings on your incline trainer before using your incline trainer.
