Smooth Fitness 9.6P - Manual (Page 6)

l NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the
results of any operational change you request from the computer.
l Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your
desired speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer
will obey the command gradually.
l NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your
household power supply that could damage treadmill components. Removing safety
cord will protect the unit.
l Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill;
such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose
balance or stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious
injury.
l NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. Smooth treadmills
start with zero speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply
standing on the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to oper-
ate the unit.
l Always hold on to a handrail or grab bar while making control changes (incline, speed,
etc.). Do not use excessive pressure on console control overlays. They are precision
set to function properly with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make
the unit go faster or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with
normal pressure contact your Smooth dealer; adjustments can be made. All buttons
should operate and control treadmill functions without excessive finger effort. Damage
to overlay will result if excessive control pressure continues.
Important Operation Instructions
Safety Tether Cord
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple
magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your
safety should you fall or move too far back on the treadbelt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop treadbelt movement.
To Use:
1. Place magnet into position on the console control head.
Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also se-
cures the treadmill from unauthorized use.
2. Fasten the black plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding
power. Note: The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unex-
pected stopping and the clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not
come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. Use the adjustment system to
assure proper length of cord.
The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a two to three step coast anytime the
magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red STOP/PAUSE switch in normal operation.
