Important Safety Instructions
Emergency Stop Procedures
The TreadClimber ® machine is equipped with a Safety Key that can prevent serious injury, as
well as prevent children from playing with and/or being injured on the machine. If the Safety
Key is not fully inserted into the safety keyhole, the TreadClimber
® machine will NOT power
up.
To prevent unsupervised operation of the machine, always remove the Safety Key and
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or AC input.
Always attach the Safety Key clip to your clothing during your workout.
When you use the machine, only remove the Safety Key in an emergency. When the key
is removed while the machine is in operation, it will stop quickly, which could cause
the loss of balance and possible injury.
Be sure to remove the Safety Key for safe storage when not in operation.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
C A U T I O N
The electrical wiring must comply with all applicable local and provincial requirements.
Incorrect connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a licensed electrician if you are not sure that the machine is correctly
grounded. Do not change the plug on the machine – if it does not fit the outlet, have a
correct outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with GFI (ground fault interrupt) or AFI (arc fault interrupt), machine
operation can cause the circuit to trip.
If an extension cord or surge protector is used with this machine, make sure that it is a heavy duty model
rated at 15A operation, and accepts an equipment-grounding conductor. Do not connect other appliances or
devices to the extension cord or surge protector in combination with this machine.
