quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.

this manual.
4. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it

the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the floor or car-

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

while it is running. Always remove the key,
unplug the power cord, and switch the
