OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following procedure has been proven to be the safest and easiest method of mounting
the treadmill.
For your protection, carefully read and follow these simple steps:
1. Be sure the treadmill is positioned on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure the magnetic safety key is not attached then plug in the treadmill power cable to a
suitable power socket and switch on at the socket.
3. Turn on treadmill power switch, which is located near where the power cable attaches to the
treadmill.
4. Straddle the running mat with your feet firmly planted on the right and left foot pads.
Stand close enough so you can extend your arms to touch all the buttons on the console.
CAUTION:
Do not stand on the mat yet.
5. Insert the safety key.
6. Follow the instructions given by the computer.
( An electronic voice guides you though setting the treadmill computer. )
TIPS ON STEPPING ONTO THE TREADMILL
Once the treadmill is running at a low speed, place your weight on your right foot,
extend your left foot onto the running mat one normal step ahead of you.
Allow your left leg to follow the running mat movement.
Repeat this manoeuvre several times until you become familiar with the required pace.
Once you determine the pace, simply follow the "in motion" leg with the stationary leg in a normal
walking manner.
Continue to grip the handles firmly until you are walking normally.
After gaining stability and confidence, release your grip on the handles and let your arms swing
freely and naturally at your side.
NOTE:
Walking straight on the treadmill is aided by focussing on a stationary object across
the room in front of you.
Walk as if you were approaching that object.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In a emergency take hold of the handrails and place your feet on the side rails provided,
once you are stable, pull out the safety key. The treadmill will then begin to decelerate
until it stops.
