IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

DANGER: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

2.Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3.Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4.Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois- ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5.Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

6.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

7.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 300 pounds.

8.Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

9.Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth- ing that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women.

10.Always wear athletic shoes when using the treadmill. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

11.When connecting the power cord (see page 9), plug the power cord into a surge protector (not included) and plug the surge protector 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.

12.Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

13.Keep the power cord and the surge protector 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.To reduce the possibility of the treadmill over- heating, do not operate the treadmill continu- ously for longer than one hour.

18.The heart rate monitor is not a medical de- vice. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in- tended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

19.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca- tion of the on/off switch.)

20.Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly set up. (See HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL on page 6 and HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 19.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

21.Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.

22.When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

23.Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly.
