WARNING — persons, take the following precautions:
•Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its operation on or near the treadmill. Do not leave children unsupervised around the treadmill.
•Never leave the treadmill unattended. Unplug the unit from the power outlet when it is not in use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or taking off parts. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
•Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate the treadmill a few feet from walls or furniture. Check the unit before each use and verify that all fasteners are secure. Maintain the treadmill in good working condition.
•Use the treadmill only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer; such attach- ments might cause injuries.
•If you purchased the optional POLAR® chest strap, review the guidelines found in the literature that is supplied with that option.
•Never operate the unit if it is damaged, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, or if it has been dropped in water. Return the unit to a service center for examination and repair.
•Keep all electrical components such as the motor, power cord, and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrail, display console, or hood. Place liquids, magazines and books in the appropriate receptacles.
•Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
•Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
•Do not use outdoors.
•The security clip must be attached at waist level prior to beginning a workout. A cord connects the security clip to the red STOP button on the console. If a user encoun- ters difficulties, a strong tug on the security cord or a quick tap on the red STOP button will stop the running belt.
•Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Use the stationary handrail whenever possible. Place your feet firmly on the right and left side platforms before the run- ning belt begins moving (prior to a workout). Step onto the running belt when the speed is at or below 1 mph (1.6 kph).
