it. Do not place the CROSSTRAINER on a
surface that blocks any air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage,
place a mat under the CROSSTRAINER.
4. Keep the CROSSTRAINER indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Do not put the

by persons weighing 250 pounds or less.
8. The CROSSTRAINER should never be used

other appliance should be on the same
circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
13. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage

working properly.)
16. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold
the handrails while using the treadmill.

ments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
