1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 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 mois-
ture and dust. Do not place 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. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly
assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE
TREADMILL on page 7).
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
treadmill.
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
9. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 pounds.
10. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
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.
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into a grounded circuit
capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
14. Never move the walking belt while 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 BE-
FORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use.
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under it.
20. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you will be alerted
by an electronic “chirping” sound when the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.
In some instances, the speed and/or incline
may change before the personal trainer de-
scribes the change.
21. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you can manually
override the speed and incline settings at any
time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE but-
tons. However, when the next “chirp” is
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to
the next settings of the CD program.
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.
