cially important for persons over age 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.

that all users of this incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.
3. Use the incline trainer only as described.
4. Place the incline trainer 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 incline trainer on any surface that blocks
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the incline
trainer.
5. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.

9. Never allow more than one person on the in-
cline trainer at a time.
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when

clothes that could become caught in the in-
cline trainer. Athletic support clothes are rec-
ommended for both men and women. Always
wear athletic shoes. Never use the incline
trainer with bare feet, wearing only stockings,
or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
12), plug the power cord into a surge suppres-
sor (not included) and plug the surge sup-
pressor into a grounded circuit capable of
carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance
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 12. To purchase a surge suppressor call
the telephone number on the front cover of
this manual.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the incline trainer. 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 incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged,
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLES OOTING on page 21 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline
trainer (see OW TO TURN ON T E POWER

standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
