Important Safety Precautions

1.Please read, understand and carefully follow all warnings, instructions and procedures on the treadmill and in the owner’s manual before using this treadmill.

2.Plug the power cord of the treadmill directly into a dedicated grounded circuit carrying 15 amps (110 Volt model) or 7 amps (220 Volt model). We recommend the use of a surge protector. Position the treadmill so that the wall plug is visible and accessible. If the Bowflex® Treadmill power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power cord from Bowflex®. Please contact your local dealer or Bowflex® directly.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The power cord is equipped with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

3.Position the treadmill on a clear, level surface. Do not place the treadmill on thick carpet as it may interfere with proper ventilation. Treadmill mats can usually be purchased from your treadmill dealer.

4.Do not place the treadmill near water or outdoors. Don’t use the machine in damp or wet conditions.

5.The minimum “clear” distance around the treadmill is 20 inches (.5 meter) on each side and 79 inches (2 meters) behind the machine.

6.Inspect the treadmill prior to each use for worn or loose components and then correct, replace or tighten prior to use. Do not use the treadmill if any area is found to be in need of service.

7.Read, understand, and test the Emergency Stop Procedures on Page 7 before use.

8.Wear appropriate clothing when exercising on the treadmill. Do not wear long, loose fitting clothing that could become caught in the treadmill. Always wear running or aerobic shoes with rubber soles.
