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 in this manual.

11. 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 eight feet of clearance behind it and two feet 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.

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 oxygen is administered.

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

13. 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

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

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

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

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

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

8. 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.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 8), 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.

10. 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.

16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)

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 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, 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 describes the change.

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can manually override the speed and incline settings at any time by pressing the speed and incline buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD or video program.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.

24. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

25.

DANGER:

Always unplug the power cord immediately after use, before cleaning the treadmill, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures described in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your CD player or VCR when you are not using them.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use only. Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
