CAUTION: To avoid injury, always rest the handrails against the safety stops before turning the T-knobs.

Tips for using the handrails follow:

•Use the locking pins to secure the handrails in an upright position until you are comfortable with the movement of the running belt. Once you are comfortable, you can remove the locking pins. The wire loops attached to the locking pins let you hang the locking pin on the T-knob.

•Use the T-knobs to adjust the resistance of the handrails so that you can easily push and pull the handrails back and forth.

•Match the natural movement of your arms when walking or running. Keep your arms slightly bent at the elbows. Do not overextend your arms.

•Maintain a smooth, fluid motion. Move the left arm forward with your left leg. Move your right arm forward with your right leg.

•Do not bounce, bob, or rock back and forth. Keep your back straight and erect while you workout.

CAUTION: If the T-knobs are loose, the handrails can free fall toward the rear of the treadmill. To avoid injury, always rest the handrails on the safety stops when adjusting the handrail resistance.

Adjusting the Handrail Resistance

The handrail resistance can be loosened by turning one T-knob counterclock- wise. You do not need to turn both T-knobs. Turning one T-knob automatically balances the handrail resistance for both sides.

Important: You have to remove the locking pins to use the handrails for an upper body workout.

Make sure that you hold onto the handrail with one hand while you loosen the T-knob with the other. Check the resistance of the handrails prior to starting your total body workout. You want the handrails loose enough to maintain the natural motion of your arms while you are walking or running. However, the handrails should provide enough resistance that you feel the need to push and pull the handrails after your warm-up period.
