IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded. If it malfunctions or breaks down, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
currents. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into an appropriate 110-120 Volt
electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter or extension cord with this
unit.
WARNING! – An improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in
a risk of an electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the unit is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided to
you. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

SECTION 3
TREADMILL AND CONSOLE
MOVING THE TREADMILL
Use the front wheels to move the Treadmill. Elevating the treadmill
(incline) may help make the wheeling of the unit easier. Always be
sure to use proper lifting form / technique. Grasp the end caps with
two hands and slowly lift deck up until you are in an upright position.
Keep the treadmill at that angle and wheel the unit as required.
SAFETY KEY & CLIP
Your BH Fitness treadmill is equipped with a safety key that will
disable the treadmill if it is not in place. You should attach the clip end
to your clothing. The magnet end goes into the recess in the center of
the console. If at any time you need to stop the treadmill, pull the
safety key quickly off the console. This will cut all power to the
treadmill and it will come to a complete stop. To restart the treadmill,
place the safety key back in place. You will then need to program
your workout again.
BEFORE STARTING
Straddle the running belt and stand on the side rails. Insert the safety
key and attach the clip to your clothing. Do not stand on the walking
belt while starting or stopping the treadmill.
