ProForm 785 TL user manual

8.You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise or lower the treadmill.

9.Keep children and pets away from the tread- mill at all times.

10.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

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

12.Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth- ing that could become caught in the tread- mill. Athletic support clothes are recom- mended for both men and women.

13.Always wear athletic shoes when using the treadmill. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

14.Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.

15.The treadmill operates on 120 V, 60 Hz, AC power only. Consult your dealer before con- necting the treadmill if you do not know the AC voltage in your area, as incorrect voltage might damage the treadmill or TV. Never con- nect the treadmill to other than the specified voltage such as 50 Hz or to direct current.

16.When connecting the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 9), plug the power cord into a surge protector (not included) and plug the surge protector into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not overload wall out- lets as this can result in a risk of electric shock, fires and other hazards.

17.Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

18.The power cord and surge protector should be positioned so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the cords at the plugs, convenience recepta- cles, and the point where the power cord exits the treadmill. Keep the power cord and surge protector away from heated surfaces.

19.Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is not working prop- erly.)

20.If an outside antenna or cable system is connected, be sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built- up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc- ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

21.An outside antenna system should not be lo- cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or cir- cuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir- cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

22.Never start the treadmill while you are stand- ing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

23.The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

24.To reduce the possibility of the treadmill overheating, do not operate the treadmill con- tinuously for longer than one hour.

25.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Move the on/off switch to the ÒoffÓ position when the treadmill is not in use.

26.To protect the treadmill and TV during light- ning storms, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.

27.Do not push objects through any openings in the treadmill or TV as they may touch danger- ous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never
