ATTENTION
•Star Trac recommends that treadmills be spaced a minimum of 20 inches (0.5 m) apart to
allow safe and easy ingress and egress. More importantly, there must be at least 48 inches
(1.5 m) of free space behind the treadmills.
•As with other motorized equipment, the area where the treadmill is located must be free of
obstacles and fixtures with sharp edges to prevent injury in the event that a user trips or
loses balance and falls.
•DO NOT place treadmill near wet areas (such as pools, showers etc.).
