IMPORTANT

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

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 the 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 place 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.Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL on page 7).

7.Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill.

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

9.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 350 pounds.

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

11.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for

both men and women.

Always wear athletic

shoes. Never

use the treadmill 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 treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BE- FORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill 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.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 treadmill unattended 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 treadmill is not in use.

19.Do not change the incline of the treadmill 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 treadmill is about to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and

be prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the personal trainer de- scribes the change.

21.When using iFIT.com CD’s, you can manually override the speed and incline settings at any time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE but- tons. However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD program.
