SAFETY TIPS:

1.Always use the safety key and attach lanyard to your clothing at about waist height.

2.Wear comfortable, good-quality walking or running shoes.

3.Warm-up and cool-down periods are important for a complete workout.

4.Always straddle the belt and allow it to start moving before stepping onto it.

5.Hold the handrail while adjusting the controls.

6.Keeping your eyes focused straight ahead will help you maintain your balance.

7.Adjust your own speed and grade. Never make adjustments for another person or allow someone else to make adjustments for you.

8.Always allow the belt to stop completely before dismounting. Gradually slowing down also minimizes the sensation of feeling like you are still moving after you stop.

9.Allow space behind treadmill and sides in the event you lose your balance.

10.Always inspect your treadmill to ensure there are no foreign objects obstructing the moving parts.

11.To avoid any possibility of being struck by or caught between moving parts, bystanders should not be within reach of the treadmill while it is in motion.

13.Never leave unsupervised children near your treadmill.

14.Animals should never be allowed on or near your treadmill.

15.Keep the power cord clear of the incline system. Allow extra slack for inclining the machine. Do not run the power cord under the treadmill.

16.Your treadmill is designed for indoor

use only.

17 . Never use your treadmill around water or while you are wet. Using the unit around a pool, hot tub or sauna will void the warranty.

18 . Do not operate treadmill while using bottled oxygen.
