SAFETY KEY AND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall. Therefore, the
safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to an immediate stop. At high speeds, it may be un-
comfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete stop immediately. So, use the safety
key as an emergency stop only. To bring the treadmill to a complete stop safely and comfortably,
use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into
the safety key holder on the left side of the console. The other end of the
safety key should be securely clipped to your clothing.
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety key clipped to your clothing.
Pull on the safety key clip to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while getting on
or off. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the running belt. Straddle the
running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the treadmill deck. Place your foot on the belt
only after the belt has begun to move at a consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing
forward at all times. Never attempt to turn around on
the treadmill when the running belt is still moving.
When you have finished exercising, stop the treadmill
by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the treadmill
comes to a complete stop before attempting to get off
the treadmill.
For your safety, step onto the belt when the speed is
no more than 1.5 mph.
Never start the treadmill at a running speed and
attempt to get on while it is moving at higher speeds.
