NordicTrack NTHK99901 - Manual (Page 3)

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the TREKKER are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the TREKKER only as described in this
manual.
3. The TREKKER is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the TREKKER in any com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Place the TREKKER on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not
place the TREKKER on any surface that
blocks air openings. To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, cover the floor under the
TREKKER.
5. Keep the TREKKER indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the TREKKER in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. Do not operate the TREKKER where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
7. Do not operate the TREKKER until it is prop-
erly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) in order to move the TREKKER.
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the TREKKER at all times.
9. The TREKKER should not be used by persons
weighing more than 300 pounds.
10. Never allow more than one person on the
TREKKER at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using
the TREKKER. Do not wear loose clothing that
could become caught in the TREKKER.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the TREKKER with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 8),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No 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 surge
suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of
400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissi-
pation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor
must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and
15 amps. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-
825-2588 and order part number 146148.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
15. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch from the
rear roller (the location of the roller guards is
shown on page 5). Unplug the power cord
and adjust the roller guards, if necessary.
16. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the TREKKER if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
TREKKER is not working properly. (See
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the
TREKKER is not working properly.)
17. Never start the TREKKER while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the TREKKER.
18. The TREKKER is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
19. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-
vice. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
20. Never leave the TREKKER unattended while it
is running. Remove the key, unplug the power
cord, and move the on/off switch to the off po-
sition when the TREKKER is not in use. (The lo-
cation of the on/off switch is shown on page 5.)
21. Do not change the grade of the TREKKER by
placing objects under it.
