Running on the M9.3s Low-Impact Treadmill
Before using the M9.3s Low-Impact Treadmill for an actual workout, we recom-
mend that you follow these instructions and go through a preliminary demon-
stration of the unit. This will make you more familiar with the unit when you
begin your first workout.
When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:
•
At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate
into your training zone, which is shown in Diagram 3 later in this manual.
After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body
and lower your pulse rate.
•
Attach the magnetic safety key to your clothing before each workout. (Use
the clip provided on the end of the cord to attach the key.) Then, if you
encounter difficulties or want to end your workout, you can easily stop the
running belt by pulling on the cord.
•
Gently stretch your lower body and back after a workout to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
To use the treadmill, follow the instructions below. Remember, when you use
the electronic console, hold onto the handrail to maintain your balance. You
should also use the handrail whenever you slow down or stop the treadmill.
Important: Before working out on the treadmill, make sure the running belt is
correctly aligned. Correct alignment is critical to the smooth and safe operation
of the treadmill. For more information, see Aligning the Running Belt .
1. Place the magnetic safety key on the ACTIVATE position of the electronic
console. Walk to the rear of the treadmill and turn the switch to ON. (The
treadmill will not operate unless the safety key is in the ACTIVATE posi-
tion.)
2. Straddle the running belt with your feet firmly planted on the right and left
staging platforms. Stand close enough to the electronic console so you can
extend your arms and touch the keypad.
3. Using the clip provided, securely attach the magnetic safety key to your
exercise clothing at your waistline, where it will not interfere with your
workout.
4. When you see "Enter Weight 125lb" scroll across the display, specify your
weight using the SPEED arrow keys. The number on the display moves in
5-pound increments up or down, depending on the arrow key pressed. Use
to increase and
correct weight appears, press SCAN/ENTER. This information allows the
M9.3s to calculate how many calories you burn during your workout.
The treadmill automatically remembers the last weight entered. During your
next workout, you restore your weight from the treadmill's memory by
pressing SCAN/ENTER at the "Enter Weight" prompt. However, if some-
one else has used the treadmill prior to your workout, you need to re-enter
your weight.
