1. The controller Stop Key does not turn off the electrical

4. Keep the area underneath and around the treadmill clear.
5. Never position the treadmill with the back end (direction
of belt travel) facing a wall or any other objects such as
furniture or other pieces of fi tness equipment. Failure to do
so can prevent safe exit of the treadmill in an emergency
