• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself except to
follow the maintenance instructions found in this manual.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep
hands away from moving parts.
• Keep all electrical components, such as the power
cord and power switch, away from liquids to prevent
shock.
• Do not set anything on the handrails, display console,
or hood. Place liquids, magazines, and books in the
appropriate receptacles.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrail(s),
display console, or hood.
The treadmill must be connected to a
dedicated, grounded circuit. See
Grounding Instructions.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your
workout and avoid loose clothing. Do not wear shoes
with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your
shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie
long hair back.
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Always
grasp the handrail when stepping on the running belt
and keep the initial speed at or below 1 mile per hour
(mph) or 1 kilometer per hour (kph). Never step off the
treadmill while the running belt is moving.
• Before the running belt begins moving (before your
workout), and after it stops (at the end of your workout),
straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right
and left staging platforms.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt
to turn around on the treadmill.
• The safety clip must be attached at waist level before
your workout. A lanyard connects to the magnetic safety
key near the red STOP button. If you encounter
difficulties, a strong tug on the lanyard disengages the
magnetic safety key and stops the running belt.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you
feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout
immediately and consult your physician.
• When the treadmill is not in use, disconnect the unit by
turning the power switch to the Off position, and then
remove the power plug from the power outlet.
