IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of this treadmill are adequately

informed of all warnings and precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at

least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and

0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the

treadmill on a surface that blocks any air

openings. To protect the floor or carpet from

damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

garage or covered patio or near water.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or where oxygen is being

administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should be used only by persons

weighing 136 kg (300 lbs.) or less.

8. Never allow more than one person on the

treadmill at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes

that could become caught in the treadmill.

Athletic support clothes are recommended for

both men and women.

Always wear athletic

shoes; never use the treadmill with bare feet,

wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page

10), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-

cuit. No other appliance should be on the

same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an

ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted

to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be

used.

11. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

faces.

12. Never move the walking belt while the power

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if

the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the

treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU-

BLESHOOTING on page 26 if the treadmill is

not working properly.)

13. Read, understand, and test the emergency

stop procedure before using the treadmill (see

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12).

14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrails while using the treadmill.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

sudden jumps in speed.

16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including your movement,

may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The sensor is intended only as an exercise aid

in determining heart rate trends in general.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key and unplug

the power cord when the treadmill is not in

use.

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 24.)

You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to

raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully engaged.

20. When using iFIT programs, an electronic

“chirping” sound will alert you 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.

WARNING:

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

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
