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
userÕs manual.
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. 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 9), plug the
power cord into a surge protector (not
included) and plug the surge protector into a
grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit.
10. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.
12. 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
Before You Begin on page 5 if the treadmill
is not working properly.)
13. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt.
14. Always hold the handrails while running on
the treadmill. When walking, hold the
handrails or use the included hand weights.
15. Do not perform exercises with the hand
weights at speeds faster than a walk. Using
weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your
balance. Exercises using weights should be
attempted only by experienced users.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
17. The hand pulse sensor and the chest pulse
sensor are not medical devices. Various fac-
tors, including the user's movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The
pulse sensors are intended only as exercise
aids 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 move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
Assembly on page 6, and How to Move the
Treadmill on page 22.) You must be able to
safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
