IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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.

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.

12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least 2 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and 0.5

m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture 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.

14. 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 BE-

FORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

7. The treadmill should be used only by persons weighing 114 kg (250 lbs.) or less.

8. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when 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.

17. 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.

18. Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster than walking speeds. Using weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using weights should be attempted only by experienced users.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 10), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor

(not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

19. 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.

11. Use only a CUL-listed surge suppressor of 450 joules minimum surge dissipation with voltage rating of 400 volts or less, rated at 15 amps, with a 1 mm 2 (14-gauge) cord of 1.5 m (5 ft.) or less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

20. 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 14.)
