IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Caution
Do Not attempt to plug in or operate your treadmill before reading the Important Precautions.
Important Precautions
Power Source
Plug the treadmill power cord into a dedicated (not shared) 110 volt, alternating current (AC),
15 amp grounded outlet circuit. Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet.
Do not modify the plug to fit an existing outlet. If it will not fit your outlet, have the correct
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Never operate your treadmill if the power cord has been damaged. Keep the power cord away
from any heated surfaces.
Do not run the power cord under the treadmill. Make sure that the power cord has enough slack
to allow the walking deck to fully elevate.
Treadmill Placement
Select a location that is:
• Indoors, away from a water source (pool, hot tub, sauna etc.)
• Away from the use of aerosol sprays or the administration of oxygen.
• Level, free of obstructions, and offers clear access on all sides.
You may place the treadmill on a carpeted floor, but deep pile shag carpeting could interfere
with proper ventilation. Use a treadmill mat (usually available from your retailer) if you have
deep pile carpeting.
Treadmill Operation
Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Do not overexert yourself during a workout. If you feel any pain or discomfort, consult your
physician immediately.
Close supervision is required whenever your treadmill is in use. This is especially important when
in use around children, invalids, disabled persons and pets.
Wear clothing appropriate for exercising on your treadmill. Always wear running or training shoes
with rubber soles. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may become caught in the treadmill.
Keep fingers, jewelry, towels and long hair away from any moving parts.
Always attach the Safety Key lanyard clip to your clothing so that the unit will shut down if you
stumble or fall.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Never power up the computer or start the treadmill while standing on the walking belt.
You should straddle the walking deck by standing on the side rails until the belt starts
moving. Don’t wait for the treadmill to ramp up to full speed before stepping onto the
walking belt.
Make sure that all users are familiar with the instructions and precautions in this manual.
Allow only one person at a time on your treadmill. Always keep your body facing forward
when the walking belt is moving. Use the handles when mounting, operating and exiting
your treadmill.
It’s a good idea to remove the magnetic Safety Key when you finish your workout to
prevent unauthorized use. If your treadmill is going to be left unattended, remove the
Safety Key and unplug the power cord.
Treadmill Maintenance
Allow only trained personnel to service your treadmill.
Do not modify your treadmill, use any parts or attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, or attempt any service other than the assembly and maintenance
recommended in this manual.
Always unplug the power cord before attempting to move or perform any maintenance
on your treadmill.
When folded, make sure that the Safety Lock is fully engaged. Refer to the Folding And
Lowering The Treadmill section of this manual for the proper folding and lowering
procedure.
Regularly inspect and tighten any of the hardware used in the treadmill assembly process.
