This Operation Manual describes the functions of the Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill.
See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.
Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in
place, on a moving surface.
Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before
undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history of high blood
pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or
has not exercised regularly in the past year.
If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of
breath, he or she must stop immediately.
Life Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical
complet avant de commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur
a des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il
fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.
Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs
ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.
