GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
These guidelines are directed to you, as the
owner of the machine. You should insist
that all users follow the same guidelines.
You should make this manual available to
all users.
Do not begin an exercise program without
first consulting a physician.
If at any time during your workout you feel
chest pain, experience severe muscular
discomfort, feel faint, or are short of
breath, stop exercising immediately. If the
condition persists, you should consult your
medical doctor immediately.
Secure long hair and loose clothing before
use.
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from
your medical doctor and enlist a health/fitness
professional’s aid in developing an exercise
program suitable for your current health status.
2. When working out for the first time, use the
MANUAL exercise program at the lower levels
until you feel comfortable and capable of higher
workloads.
3. The intensity and duration of your exercise
program should always be subject to how you
feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your
personal judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely de-conditioned individuals
should be particularly cautious when using the
machine for the first time. Even though such
individuals may not have histories of serious
physical problems, they may perceive the exercise
to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in
the possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Although all equipment manufactured by Nautilus,
Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the
manufacturing facility prior to shipment, proper
installation and regular maintenance are
required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the sole
responsibility of the owner.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Treadmill Power Plug Receptacles
The Commercial Series T19.16 Treadmill has two power plug receptacles
allowing you to plug in the treadmill from the front or the rear of the machine.
The rear power cord receptacle, located underneath the right side of the side
rail, should be used if the treadmill is going to be placed in the center of the
room facing away from the wall. The front power cord receptacle, located on the
front side of the motor pan, can be used if the treadmill is placed facing a wall
or parallel to a wall. Unused receptacles must be covered, using the provided
covers.
Turning On the Power
After you have determined which end of the treadmill to plug in, the
treadmill can be turned on by moving the power switch located at the front
of the treadmill, to the ON position.
Understanding the Display and Controls
The treadmill display is a computerized panel used to operate the treadmill and
see all workout data and operational status. You should familiarize yourself with
the operation of the treadmill and the location of all keys before beginning use.
Emergency Stop Procedure / Limited Access Control
Limited-access control lets you restrict treadmill use to authorized personnel.
It also lets you stop the treadmill in an emergency. The magnetically-activated
control is located on the bottom of the display as shown. The limited-access
control is deactivated on machines shipped from the factory.

safety stop cord supplied with the treadmill in the designated area located

will stop and the controller will not respond to any key presses. Accumulated
values will remain on the display until you turn off the power, or press [Clear].
The console will display a message, REPLACE MAGNET when you remove the
magnetic key from its designated area. You must replace the key or deactivate
the control to start the walk belt.
Guidelines For Getting On and Off the Treadmill
Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the
treadmill.
1. The walking belt should be moving at minimum speed before the user steps onto the
treadmill.
2. Stand next to the treadmill and place both hands on the front handrail.
3. Straddle the walking belt or step onto the side of the deck. Step onto the moving belt
and begin walking.
4. (Optional) To get the feel of the moving belt place the foot nearest the treadmill on
the walking belt and let it move backwards. Lift it and repeat
several times until comfortable with the treadmill speed.
5. When walking comfortably on the treadmill, let go of the
handrail.
6. While walking on the treadmill:
• Face forward. Avoid looking down at the walking belt.
• Maintain speed by keeping a consistent distance from the
handrail.
