16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use.
20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under it.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs, you will be alerted
by an electronic “chirping” sound when the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.
In some instances, the speed and/or incline
may change before the personal trainer de-
scribes the change.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
