IMPORTANT | P RECAUTIONS |
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the INCLINE TRAINER.
1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the INCLINE TRAINER are ad- equately informed of all warnings and precau- tions.
2.Use the INCLINE TRAINER only as described in this manual.
3.Place the INCLINE TRAINER on a level sur- face, with at least eight feet of clearance be- hind it. Do not place the INCLINE TRAINER on any surface that blocks air openings. To pro- tect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the INCLINE TRAINER.
4.Keep the INCLINE TRAINER indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Do not place the IN- CLINE TRAINER in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
5.Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.
6.Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER until it is properly assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE INCLINE TRAINER on page 7).
7.Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
INCLINE TRAINER.
8.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the INCLINE TRAINER at all times.
9.The INCLINE TRAINER should not be used by
persons weighing more than 350 pounds.
10.Never allow more than one person on the INCLINE TRAINER at a time.
11.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not wear loose clothes that could become caught in the INCLINE TRAINER. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and
women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the INCLINE TRAINER with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
12.When connecting the power cord (see page 10), plug the power cord into a grounded circuit
capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.
13.Keep the power cord away from heated sur- faces.
14.Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER if the power cord or plug is dam- aged or if the INCLINE TRAINER is not work- ing properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the INCLINE TRAINER is not working properly.)
15.Never start the INCLINE TRAINER while you
are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the INCLINE TRAINER.
16.The INCLINE TRAINER is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
17.The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's move- ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
18.Never leave the INCLINE TRAINER unat-
tended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit breaker to the off position when the INCLINE TRAINER is not in use.
19.Do not change the incline of the INCLINE TRAINER by placing objects under it.
20.When using iFIT.com CD’s, you will be alerted by an electronic “chirping” sound when the speed and/or incline of the INCLINE TRAINER is about to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in- cline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the per- sonal trainer describes the change.
