the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounded conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not use extension cables when
connecting the equipment to the power source.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman,
if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
BASICS ON EXERCISING
Before training on a motor-driven treadmill, you should
familiarise yourself with its functions and operation.
Working out with this equipment is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should
be suitably light but of long duration. Aerobic exercise
is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but your heart rate should stay at a
comfortable level. This will allow for a longer training
session. Three 30 to 60 minute sessions a week is
recommended, depending on your goals, fitness level
and schedule.
If you prefer a walking exercise, you can increase the
versatility and effort level of your workout by adjusting
the elevation. For a more versatile walking exercise, you
can also use light dumbbells to work your arm muscles.
Remember to pay attention to safety concerns, such as
maintaining your balance.
You’ll find information about using your exercise
equipment and what makes for efficient training at
