When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug this appliance
from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

outlet. It should remain connected to the outlet at all times, except when putting
on or taking off parts;
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children,
invalids, or disabled persons;

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This section is in addition to the Important Safety Instructions page in the printed Owner’s Manual
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether this appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this
appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
POWER PLUG RECEPTACLES
This section replaces the Power Plug Receptacles section in the printed Owner’s Manual
If your T916 Treadmill was produced after January 2011, it is equipped with a hardwired power
cord that extends from the front of the machine. The Rear Power Receptacle is no longer an
available option after this production date. Make sure to position the machine so that the power
cord is not a trip hazard and cannot become damaged during normal use.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the hardwired power cord, or its safe use,
please contact a Med-Fit Systems Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or
276-773-2881 outside the United States.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This section is in addition to the Preventive Maintenance section in the printed Owner’s Manual
Med-Fit Systems, and our suppliers, have tested and determined that it is acceptable to add a
pure silicone fluid (PDMS) to the walking belt and deck in cases where machine performance is
affected by a high-friction condition. Adding a pure silicone fluid will not damage the friction-
control surface.
Med-Fit Systems only recommends Clearco-brand PSF-100cSt standard viscosity pure silicone
fluid. Apply 1-1/2 ounces of the pure silicone fluid between the walking belt and deck, towards
the center and from the front to the rear. Allow the belt to run at a moderate speed for at least 5
minutes before using the machine again.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding pure silicone fluid, or its safe use, please
contact a Med-Fit Systems Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or
276-773-2881 outside the United States.

may not apply to you. Med-Fit also hereby disclaims and excludes all other obligations or
liabilities, express or implied, arising by law or otherwise, with respect to any nonconformance
or defect in any product including, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (A) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY,
RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE

whether such damages are sought for breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or
strict liability in tort or under any other legal theory. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
