Personal Safety
• Always attach the safety clip to your clothing prior to beginning your
workout. The safety clip is connected by a cord to the magnetic safety key
on the electronic console. If you encounter difficulties, you can pull on the
cord and disengage the magnetic safety key from the ACTIVATE position.
This process trips a circuit breaker which turns OFF the treadmill and stops
the running belt.
• Assemble and operate the M9.20 or M9.20s treadmill on a solid, level
surface. Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture. Keep the
area behind the treadmill clear.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose
clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of
your shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair back.
• Keep all loose clothing and towels away from the treadmill running surface.
A treadmill running belt will not stop immediately if an object becomes
caught in the belt or rollers.
• Use care when getting on or off the M9.20 or M9.20s treadmill. Use the
handrails whenever possible. Do not get on or off the treadmill when the
running belt is moving.
• Before the running belt begins moving, straddle the belt by placing your
feet firmly on the right or left side platforms. You should also step onto the
side platforms after turning OFF the running belt.
• Never turn ON the treadmill when someone is standing on the machine.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on
the treadmill when the running belt is moving.
