DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit in which it is connected. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET.
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. Large switching currents of the drive motor will trip GFCI type outlets, as any appliance with a large motor will. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
The clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console.

The treadmill is designed to keep the tread-belt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the tread-belt should have a tendency to center itself.
