SPACING—The below minimum spacing
recommendations are based on a combination of the
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount:
–Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the
machine.
–Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.
Careful consideration should be given to the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of
the facility. The facility should consider the total space
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to
change at any time.
Important:These spacing recommendations should be used

The treadmill must be grounded. If the equipment
malfunctions or breaks down, grounding draws off electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The power cord
on the treadmill is equipped with a grounding conductor and a
three-pin grounding plug. This plug must be inserted into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to ground the
treadmill properly may void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER
Improper connection of the grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are
not sure whether the equipment is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the treadmill. If the plug does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
