SAFETY CLIP
The Walkmill™ is equipped with a Magnetic Safety Button and Clip.
For safety purposes always attach the Clip to yourself prior to using the
Walkmill.™ The unit will not operate if the Magnetic Safety Button is
not in place,and will shut down if the Magnetic Safety Button is
removed during use.It is recommended that you store the Safety Clip
out of reach of children so the Walkmill™ cannot be operated without
supervision.
ELEVATION
The Dial on the left controls the Walkmill's™ elevation.Turn the Dial
forward (away from you) to increase the elevation,and towards you to
lower the elevation.The Elevation Motor is located at the rear of the
Walkmill™;therefore the back of the Walking Deck will raise and
lower instead of the front.
NOTE:The Walkmill™ is shipped in the elevated position.
NOTE:CONSECUTIVE OVERUSE OF THE ELEVATION
FEATURE MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO OVERHEAT.
Therefore,after approximately 5 minutes of constant raising and
lowering of the Walking Deck, a thermal overload circuit will
activate and shut down the Walkmill™ and reset it to the normal
position.The Walkmill™can be reactivated as soon as it has
cooled down.
