that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.

products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

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

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
