PADDED HAND RAIL

The padded hand rail is mounted to the rear of the control console. The bar provides a convenient support to use throughout your workout.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch is located to the right of the power cord on the front of the machine. It completely removes AC power from your treadmill. It is recommended that you use this switch to turn the machine off after each workout.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Your TRUE treadmill is protected from overload by a 15 amp circuit breaker that can be reset in the event of a power overload. It is located to the left of the power cord.

You can protect yourself from injuries resulting from unexpected loss of balance by attaching the lanyard to your clothing at about waist height when you use your treadmill.

Storing the safety key in a secured location while your treadmill is not in use will prevent children and other unauthorized users from operating your treadmill.

Steel guards over the ends of the rear roller prevent towels and other items from getting caught in the running belt.

FULLY ENCLOSED MOTOR

The motor and flywheel are fully enclosed in a protective metal compartment.

LOW PROFILE FRAME
