nal from the pulse sensor.
5. The sensor window shouldbecleaned weekly when
thetreadmillis used regularly.Moisten a cotton swab

A temporary adapter that lookslike the adapter illus-
trated in drawing 2 may be used to connect this plug
to a2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 ifa
propedy grounded outlet is not available. The tempo-
rary adapter should be used only until a propedy
grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigidear, lug,
or the like extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a propedy
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
Used it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not

HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHION LEVEL
• The rear legs of the treadmill are designed to cushion
the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill. The
