IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-
structions in this manual and all warnings on your incline trainer before using your incline trainer.
FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by
or through the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over age 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.
3. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
4. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 2.4 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind
it and 0.6 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the floor or car-
pet from damage, place a mat under the in-
cline trainer.
5. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer until it is
properly and fully assembled (see ASSEM-
BLY on page 7).
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
incline trainer.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
9. The incline trainer should not be used by per-
sons weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).
10. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the in-
cline trainer. Athletic support clothes are rec-
ommended for both men and women.
Always
wear athletic shoes. Never use the incline
trainer with bare feet, wearing only stock-
ings, or in sandals.
12. When connecting the power cord, follow the
instructions on page 11. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit as the incline
trainer. Do not use an extension cord.
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 35 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline
trainer (see GETTING STARTED on page 15).
16. Never start the incline trainer while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.
17. The incline trainer is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
