Setting Up Your Treadmill

Allow only one person at a time on your machine.

Do not operate treadmill without the safety key attached to the console and the lanyard clipped to your clothing at approximately waist height.

Always straddle the treadbelt and allow the belt to begin moving before stepping onto the belt.

Use extreme caution when stepping onto moving tread belt. Some programs begin at speeds as high as 4.8 mph.

Gradually slow down the belt before stopping. This will minimize the sensation of movement after you stop.

When making treadbelt adjustments, keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from moving parts.

Setting Up Your Treadmill

Place your treadmill on a clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet and has enough slack to allow the deck to incline without tightening the cord. Do not allow the treadmill assembly to rest on the cord.

Although your treadmill is designed to operate on most carpeted surfaces, some deeply padded or heavy shag carpets can cause damage. To prevent damage to your treadmill or carpet, have someone stand on the deck and make sure the treadmill belt doesn’t touch the carpet at any point.

Your treadmill is designed for indoor use only. Always keep the control panel out of direct sunlight.
