1.1 Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the Life Fitness
treadmill before cleaning or attempting any maintenance activity.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury, it is imperative to
connect each treadmill to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
To disconnect, turn off power switch, then remove plug from outlet.
Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.
Never operate a Life Fitness treadmill if it has a damaged power cord or electrical plug, or if it has been
dropped, damaged, or even partially immersed in water. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the treadmill by the power cord or use
the cord as a handle. Do not run the power cord under or along the side of the treadmill.
Do not use the treadmill outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.
Never operate a Life Fitness treadmill with the air openings on the front motor housing blocked.
Keep air openings free of lint, hair or any obstructing material.
Never insert objects into any opening in the treadmill. If an object should drop inside, turn off the
power, unplug the power cord from the outlet and carefully retrieve it. If you cannot reach the item,
contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.
Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit.
Do not use the treadmill in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered. Such substances create the danger of combustion and explosion.
Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from the running surface and belt rollers.
Keep the area six feet behind the treadmill clear of any obstructions, including walls, furniture, and
other equipment.
Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever
additional stability is required.
Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or
spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.
Do not use the treadmill in bare feet.
Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.
Do not reach into or underneath the unit, or tip it on its side during operation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends that if you are undertaking an exercise program
please see your physician for a complete medical exam, particularly if you have a family
history of high blood pressure or heart disease, are over the age of 45, or if you smoke,

If, at any time while exercising, you feel faint, dizzy, pain, or shortness of
breath, stop immediately.
