sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over the age of 35 or persons

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. 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 open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

weighing 250 lbs. (113 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the

10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using 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 athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
11), 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 appliance
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 specifications described
on page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor,
call the telephone number on the front cover
of this manual or see your local electronics
store.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, 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

not working properly.)

stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13).

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

sudden jumps in speed.
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir-
cuit breaker to the off position when the
treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on
