Important Safety Precautions - Orbit T977 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Plug the power cord of the treadmill directly into a dedicated grounded circuit. This product must be grounded well.
If it breaks down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
2. Position the treadmill on a clean and flat surface with at least 2m*1m area. Do not place the treadmill on thick
carpet as it may interfere with proper ventilation. Also, do not place the treadmill near water or outdoors.
3. Position the treadmill where the wall plug is visible and accessible.
4. NEVER start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. After turning the power on and adjusting the
speed control, there may be a pause before the walking belt begins to move, ALWAYS stand on the foot rails on the
sides of the frame until the belt is moving.
5. Wear appropriate clothing when exercising on the treadmill. Do not wear long, loose fitting clothing that could
become caught in the treadmill. Always wear running or aerobic shoes with rubber soles.
6. Always unplug the power cord before removing the treadmill motor cover.
7. Keep little children away from the treadmill during operation.
8. Always hold the handrails when initially walking or running on the treadmill, until you are comfortable with the use
of the treadmill.
9. Always attach the safety pull pin rope to your clothing when using the treadmill. If the treadmill suddenly increases
in speed due to an electronic failure or the speed being inadvertently increased, the treadmill will come to a sudden
stop when the pull pin is disengaged from the console.
