1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
3. The treadmill is intended for home use only.
Do not use the treadmill in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet of clearance behind it. To protect
the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat
under the treadmill.
5. Slots and openings in the treadmill and TV
are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation, and to help prevent overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or cov-
ered. Do not place the treadmill on any sur-
face that blocks openings or near a radiator
or other heat source.
6. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio or near water.
7. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
8. You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) in order to raise or lower the treadmill.
9. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill 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
regularly.
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 the wall
outlets 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 the surge protector
should be positioned so they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them; pay particular atten-
tion to the cords at the plugs, the conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where the
power cord exits the treadmill. Keep the
power cord and the 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.
20. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected, be sure that the antenna or cable sys-
tem is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
