Important Safety Instructions 5

For AMT and EFX: Always stabilize yourself by holding a stationary handle bar while using typing or web surfing features.

Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedures before use.

Keep the power cord or optional power adapter and plug away from heated surfaces.

Route power cables so that they are not walked on, pinched, or damaged by items placed upon or against them, including the equipment itself.

Ensure the equipment has adequate ventilation. Do not place anything on top of or over the equipment. Do not use on a cushioned surface that could block the ventilation opening.

Assemble and operate the equipment on a solid, level surface.

SPACING—The below minimum spacing recommendations are based on a combination of the ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European) regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage around, and emergency dismount:

Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the machine.

Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and 0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.

Careful consideration should be given to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM standards are voluntary and may not reflect current industry standards. The actual area for access, passage around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of the facility. The facility should consider the total space requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and industry standards, and any local, state, and federal regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to change at any time.

Important: These spacing recommendations should be used when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such as radiators, heat registers, and stoves. Avoid temperature extremes.
