Important Precautions - Pro-Form 7.15Q User Manual

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perform-
ance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn
both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in
the power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is
properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, call our Customer Service Department, toll-free.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,
insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the walking plat-
form. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred.
Plug in the power cord, insert the key and carefully
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until
the walking belt is properly tightened.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 115 kg (250 lbs.) or less.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing that could become caught in the tread-
mill. Athletic support clothes are recommend-
ed for both men and women. Always wear
athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill with
bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in san-
dals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),
plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No
other appliance should be on the same circuit.
When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved
BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse carri-
er. A 13 amp fuse should be used.
11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-
conductor, 1 mm 2 (14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
12. Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces.
13. Never move the walking belt whilst the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See

mill is not working properly.)
14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key and
unplug the power cord when the treadmill is
not in use.
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 12.)

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
