CONGRATULATIONS! on choosing your treadmill. You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program!

•Improved Muscle Tone

•Increased Daily Energy Levels

The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you eliminate obstacles that prevent you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your workout when you use your treadmill in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new machine.

PROPER USAGE

Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the speed in small increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. When not in use, remove the safety key, turn the on/off switch to off and unplug the power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule located on page 34 in this manual. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backwards while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath.

 

 

Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged.
