IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug your
life fitness 8500 treadmill before cleaning or attempting any mainte-
nance activity.
• Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.
• Never operate a Life Fitness treadmill if it has a damaged power
cord or electrical plug, or if it has been dropped, damaged, or
even partially immersed in water. Contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the
treadmill by the power cord or use the cord as a handle. Do not
run the power cord under or along the side of the treadmill.
• Do not use the treadmill outdoors, near swimming pools or in
areas of high humidity.
• Never operate a Life Fitness treadmill with the air openings on
the front motor housing blocked. Keep air openings free of lint,
hair or any obstructing material.
• Never insert objects into any opening in the treadmill. If an object
should drop inside, unplug the unit and carefully retrieve the
item. If you cannot reach the item, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.
• Always use containers with lids. Never place liquids of any type
directly on the unit except when using the accessory tray.
• Do not use the treadmill in areas where aerosol spray products
are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Such sub
stances create the danger of combustion and explosion.
• Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from the
running surface and belt rollers.
