Safety Instructions
CAUTION—to reduce the risk of burns, fire
and electric shock and injury to persons:
Do’s:
•An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use and before putting on or taking off parts.
•Use this treadmill only for its intended use as described in this manual.
•Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
•To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the
outlet.
•Servicing is to be done with appliance disconnected from the supply circuit.
•Avoid the possibility of bystanders being struck or caught between moving parts by
making sure that they are out of reach of the treadmill while it is in motion.
•Caution: Risk of injury to person—to avoid injury, stand on the side rails before
starting treadmill.
•Make sure the power cord has enough slack to allow the treadmill to raise freely
without being limited by the cord or caught in the incline rack. Do not run power
cord under treadmill.
•Use treadmill indoors only.
•Use a dedicated 120/230 VAC, 20 amp, 3-prong, grounded outlet circuit.
•Allow only trained personnel to service this equipment.
•Consult your physician to determine your target heart rate.
•Adjust your own speed and grade unless under the supervision of a trainer, physical
therapist or other qualified person.
•Keep the area under the treadmill free from obstructions because the deck returns to
0% grade when the SAFETY KEY is inserted. Failure to do so could cause personal
injury or damage to the machine.
•Keep the space behind and on both sides of the treadmill clear in the event you lose
your balance.
•Allow only ONE person at a time on your machine. More than one person using the
treadmill at a time may cause damage to the machine.
•Gradually slow down the belt before stopping it. This will minimize the sensation of
feeling like you are still moving after you stop.
•When walking on tread belt to test tension, hold onto the handrails. Tread belt slip
can cause loss of balance.
•Before starting treadmill, straddle tread belt.
•When making tread belt adjustments, keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry, and long
hair well out of the way of moving parts.
