10.When connecting the power cord (see page 8), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
11.Use only a
806-3651 and order part number 146148.
12.Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the con- trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys- tem is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
13.Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
14.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 tread- mill is not working properly.)
15.Never start the treadmill while you are stand- ing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.
16.The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
17.The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's move- ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
18.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key and un- plug the power cord when the treadmill is not in use.
19.Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 25.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
20.Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.
21.When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
