Connect the wire coming out of the left handlebar with
the connector located under the running base on the left
hand side. For easier access, tilt the treadmill slightly on
its right side.
SAFETY KEY
The treadmill cannot be used if the key is not properly
installed on the console; if the key is removed from its
place, the treadmill will immediately stop. Insert the
safety key into the key holder at the left side of the
console. Ensure that the clip of the safety key is properly
attached to your clothing; as the cord tightens, make
sure the clip does not detach itself from your clothing
before the safety key disconnects from the user interface.
POWER CORD AND GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
Plug the socket end of the power
cord into the treadmill at the left
front corner. Before connecting
the device to a power source,
make sure that local voltage
matches that indicated on the
type plate. Turn on the power
using the switch next to the
socket on the treadmill. This
treadmill must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce
the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounded conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not use extension cables when
connecting the equipment to the power source.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman,
if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
BASICS ON EXERCISING
Before training on a motor-driven treadmill, you should
familiarise yourself with its functions and operation.
Working out with this equipment is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should
be suitably light but of long duration. Aerobic exercise
is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but your heart rate should stay at a
comfortable level. This will allow for a longer training
session. Three 30 to 60 minute sessions a week is
recommended, depending on your goals, fitness level
and schedule.
If you prefer a walking exercise, you can increase the
versatility and effort level of your workout by adjusting
the elevation. For a more versatile walking exercise, you
can also use light dumbbells to work your arm muscles.
Remember to pay attention to safety concerns, such as
maintaining your balance.
You’ll find information about using your exercise
equipment and what makes for efficient training at

ABOUT THE EXERCISE ENVIRONMENT
• Make sure the exercise environment has adequate
ventilation. To avoid catching cold, do not exercise in a
draughty place.
• Place the treadmill on a firm, level surface. Allow
200x100 cm of clearance behind the treadmill and 100
cm on either side and in front of the treadmill. Make
sure that children and pets stay away from this area
while the treadmill is in use.
• We recommend that the equipment is placed on a
protective base.
ABOUT USING THE EQUIPMENT
• Always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet
after each training session.
• Only one person may use the equipment at a time.
• Keep hands clear of any moving parts. Never place
hands, feet or any other objects under the treadmill
• Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged
in.
• Wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising.
Make sure your shoelaces are properly tied. To avoid
injury and unnecessary wear on your treadmill, be sure
your shoes are free of any debris such as gravel and small
pebbles.
BEGINNING AN EXERCISE SESSION
• To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end
each workout by stretching.
• Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of the
running belt. Do not stand on the running belt.
• Begin each workout at a low speed, and gradually
increase your speed and/or treadmill elevation to a
comfortable level according to your condition.
• Always hold the handrail for support when getting on
or off the treadmill and when changing the speed during
exercise. Do not jump off the running belt while it is
moving!
• To avoid numbness and pain in the neck, shoulder
and back area, maintain an upright posture. Try to run
in the middle of the track, within comfortable reach of
the console.
