cial, rental, or institutional setting.

that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
11), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-
cuit. No other appliance should be on the
