Nautilus Quinton Owner's Manual - Getting Started

Guidelines For Getting On and Off the Treadmill

Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the 

treadmill.

1.  The walking belt should be moving at minimum speed before the user steps 

onto the treadmill.

2.  Stand next to the treadmill and place both hands on the front handrail.

3.  Straddle the walking belt or step onto the side of the deck. Step onto the 

moving belt and begin walking.

4.  (Optional) To get the feel of the moving belt place the foot nearest the 

treadmill on the walking belt and let it move backwards.  Lift it and repeat 

several times until comfortable with the treadmill speed.

5.  When walking comfortably on the treadmill, let go of the handrail.

6.  While walking on the treadmill:

•  Face forward.  Avoid looking down at the walking belt.

•  Maintain speed by keeping a consistent distance from the handrail. 

•  Adjust the speed and incline as desired.  Hold the handrail as the speed 

and incline change.

7.  Before stepping off the treadmill, place one hand on the handrail, wait for the 

belt to stop, then step off.
