BEFORE YOU BEGIN

CONGRATULATIONS! on choosing your treadmill. You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program! Your treadmill is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your treadmill can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.

Here are just a few of the health benefits of exercise:

Weight Loss

A Healthier Heart

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.

Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to your clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation of the safety key every 2 weeks.

NEVER USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR

WARNING CLOTHING. PULL ON THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT COME OFF YOUR CLOTHING.

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 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.

Your treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built into the frame. To move, firmly grasp the rear of the frame and carefully lift.
