1. Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over age 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described.
4. 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.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the treadmill at all times.
8. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 350 lbs. (159 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the
treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women. Always
wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill
with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in
sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
11), plug the power cord into a surge sup-
pressor (not included) and plug the surge
suppressor into a grounded circuit capable
of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appli-
ance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.
12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that meets all of the specifications described
on page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor,
see your local NordicTrack dealer or call the
telephone number on the front cover of this
manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the
control system of the treadmill. If the control
system is damaged, the walking belt may
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which
may result in a fall and serious injury.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
15. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as-
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of
this product.

18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
19. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
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.
20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir-
cuit breaker to the “off” position when the
treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on
page 5 for the location of the reset/off circuit
breaker.)
21. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 20.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg)
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
22. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
24. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening on the treadmill.
25. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the incline trainer in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
27. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.
