Treadmill Safety Features
The treadmill is equipped with certain items that, when used properly,
help sustain an enjoyable workout. These items include:
• Security clip
• Password protection
•Handrails
• I/O power switch
Important: Before exercising, review the Important Safety
Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.
Safety Considerations
Take time to discuss proper safety and exercise equipment etiquette
with the club or facility manager. When planning to exercise on the
treadmill, always:
• Hold onto a handrail while stepping onto the treadmill.
• Face the display and then straddle the running belt by placing your
feet on the trim strips provided.
• Attach the security clip to your clothing before touching the
keypad or entering the password.
• Step onto the running belt while it is moving at or below
1 mile per hour or 1 kilometer per hour.
Using the Security Clip
Attach the security clip to your clothing before each workout. A tug on
the lanyard trips the security switch inside the display console and
stops the running belt.
Diagram 1: Attach the security clip to your clothing
If the security switch trips while you are exercising, the running belt
stops and the treadmill assumes you are pausing your workout. To
resume exercising, take the following steps:
1. Reattach the security clip to your clothing.
2. Straddle the running belt.
3. Press SPEE D ▲.
4. Enter the password (if necessary).
Note: The facility can set a limit on the amount of time you can pause
during a workout. Check with the manager to find out about the pause
time limit. If you exceed the time limit, the display returns to the Precor
banner.
