Important Precautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
ownerÕs guide.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill
in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds (115 kg).
Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
8. Wear appropriate clothing when using the
treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing 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.
9. When connecting the power cord (see How to
Plug in the Power Cord on page 8), plug the
power cord into an earthed circuit. When
replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved BS1362
type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13
amp fuse should be used. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit.
10. If you need an extension cord, use only a
14-gauge cord of five feet (1,50 m) or less in
length.
11. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
12. Never move the walking belt whilst the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See
Before You Begin on page 6 if the treadmill
is not working properly.)
13. Never start the treadmill whilst you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold
the handrails whilst using the treadmill.
14. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
15. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill
continuously for longer than one hour.
16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. When the treadmill is not in use,
remove the key and press the on/off switch to
the ÒoffÓ position. (See the drawing on page 6
for the location of the on/off switch.)
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
Assembly on page 7, and How to Move the
Treadmill on page 18.) You must be able to
safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.
19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the frame is held securely by the
storage latch.
20. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.
