If it is difficult to turn the control, lift up on the walking platform while turning the control. Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, the firmer the walking platform should be.

WARNING: Do not use the hand weights at speeds higher than a walk.

Using weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using weights should be attempted only by experienced users.
