Important Operating Instructions - LifeSpan Pursuit 3 User Manual

III. IMPORTANT OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
• Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed on
the display console and release the adjustment key. The display will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill, such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the
centre of the belt; which may result in serious injury.
• In order to prevent losing balance and suffering unexpected injury, never mount or dismount the\
treadmill while the belt is moving. This unit starts with at a very low speed. We recommend to stand
on the side rails then start the treadmill. Once the belt starts to move at low speed you can then step
onto the belt and start your workout.
This helps to preserve the motor as it does not put a lot of pressure at the starting point.
• Always hold on to handrail while making control changes.
• A safety key is provided with this machine. Remove the safety key will stop the walking belt
immediately; the treadmill will shut off automatically. Inserting the safety key will reset the display.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly
with little finger pressure.
• Replace any defective components immediately. The machine must be kept out of use until repaired.
• Belt wear-in period: all treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over
the rollers, especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not completely
go away. The belt will stretch over time, causing it to ride smoother over the rollers.
