True Fitness 540 - Manual (Page 2)

1. Always use the safety key and attach
lanyard to your clothing at about
waist height.
2. Wear comfortable, good-quality
walking or running shoes.
3. Warm-up and cool-down periods are
important for a complete workout.
4. Always straddle the belt and allow it to
start moving before stepping onto it.
5. Hold the handrail while adjusting the
controls.
6. Keeping your eyes focused straight
ahead will help you maintain your
balance.
7. Adjust your own speed and grade.
Never make adjustments for another
person or allow someone else to make
adjustments for you.
8. Always allow the belt to stop completely
before dismounting. Gradually slowing
down also minimizes the sensation of
feeling like you are still moving after you
stop.
9. Allow space behind treadmill and sides
in the event you lose your balance.
10. Always inspect your treadmill to
ensure there are no foreign objects
obstructing the moving parts.
11. To avoid any possibility of being struck
by or caught between moving parts,
bystanders should not be within reach
of the treadmill while it is in motion.
12. For safety reasons and to prevent
damage to your treadmill, allow only
ONE person at a time on your machine.
13. Never leave unsupervised children
near your treadmill.
14. Animals should never be allowed on or
near your treadmill.
15. Keep the power cord clear of the
incline system. Allow extra slack for
inclining the machine. Do not run the
power cord under the treadmill.
16. Your treadmill is designed for indoor
use only.
17 . Never use your treadmill around water
or while you are wet. Using the unit
around a pool, hot tub or sauna will
void the warranty.
18 . Do not operate treadmill while using
bottled oxygen.
