Selecting the right location for your treadmill is crucial for safety and optimal performance.

circulate air during workouts.

movement during intense workouts.
•Away from Moisture: Avoid placing the treadmill near water sources or in damp areas to
prevent electrical hazards and potential damage to the machine.

extension cords.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Safety Key Function: The safety key is a crucial feature designed to stop the treadmill immediately
in case of emergencies. It's a two-part mechanism: one part plugs into the treadmill, and the other
attaches to the user's clothing.
Procedure:
1. Before starting your workout, ensure the safety key is correctly plugged into the treadmill.
2. Attach the clip end of the safety key to a secure part of your clothing.
3. In case of any emergency or if you drift too far back on the treadmill, the key will dislodge from
its slot, causing the treadmill to come to an immediate stop.
Note: It's essential to always use the safety key during treadmill mode. While it's not necessary
during walking mode, it's still recommended for added safety.
