Guidelines For Getting ON and OFF the Treadmill
Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the treadmill.
• The walking belt should be moving at minimum speed before the user steps onto the
treadmill.
1. Stand next to the treadmill and place both hands on the front handrail.
2. Straddle the walking belt or step onto the side of the deck. Step onto the moving belt
and begin walking.
3. (Optional) To get the feel of the moving belt, place the foot nearest the treadmill on the
walking belt and let it move backwards. Lift it and repeat several times until
comfortable with the treadmill speed.
4. When walking comfortably on the treadmill, let go of the handrail.
5. While walking on the treadmill:
• Face forward. Avoid looking down at the walk belt.
• Maintain speed by keeping a consistent distance from the handrail.
• Adjust the speed and incline as required. Hold the handrail as the speed and
incline change.
6. Before stepping off the treadmill, place one hand on the handrail, wait for the belt to
stop, then step off.
