CAUTION
– RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt. Place your feet on the side rails before starting the
treadmill. Start walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start the treadmill at a fast running speed
and attempt to jump on! In case of an emergency, place both hands on the side arm rests to hold yourself up and place
your feet onto the side rails.
USING THE SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the
emergency stop button is reset. Attach the clip
end securely to your waistband or a clothing
seam. This safety key is designed to cut the
power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check
the operation of the safety key every 2 weeks.
PROPER USAGE
Position your feet on the belt, bend your arms slightly and grasp the heart rate sensors (as
shown). While running, your feet should be located in the center of the belt so that your hands
can swing naturally and without contacting the front handlebars.
Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and
adjust the speed in small increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill
unattended while it is running. When not in use turn the on/off switch to off and unplug the
power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule in this guide to maintain optimal
performance and prevent premature electronic failure. Keep your body and head facing
forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backwards while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if
you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath. With no user on the treadmill, the sound level of the treadmill is less than
70dB. Noise emission under load is higher than without load.

WARNING
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety key clip to
your waistband or a clothing seam. Pull on the safety key clip first
to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Your unit is equipped with heart rate pulse grips.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of
your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those
in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap.
Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading
is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register.
It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not
grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an
erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact
can be maintained.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint,
stop exercising immediately.
