THE TREADMILL AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO AN ADJUSTABLE-HEIGHT DESK
• The ThermoTread GT treadmill is specifically designed as a walking treadmill
for use in an office or home office environment, and should ONLY be used in
conjunction with a stable, adjustable-height desk.
• When setting up the treadmill relative to the desk, it is important to combine
both safety and ergonomics. Place the treadmill perpendicular (at 90 degrees)
to the opening of the desk. This is for both safety and comfort. The user should
be able to safely lean on the desk with two hands when they feel the need
for extra support or to perform some basic working functions such as typing,
writing, reading, etc. The 90-degree relationship between treadmill and desk
keeps the distance between the user and the desk perfectly balanced for both
left and right arms. This spatial balance is important for maintaining proper
ergonomics and typing productivity.
• Position the treadmill such that your footfall will generally be in the center of
the deck, and as far to the front of the treadmill as possible without having
your shoes touch the motor housing, when walking at your normal stride.
Experiment with the best walking position
relative to safety, ergonomics, and the ability
to access the desk area.
• A sticker has been provided (see image below)
as a reminder to the user to only use the
treadmill in conjunction with an adjustable
height desk. Please place this sticker on your
desk near the treadmill console.
• Wear suitable shoes for use. High heels, sandals, flip-flops
or bare-feet are not suitable for use on your treadmill. For
prolonged use, quality athletic shoes are recommended to
avoid leg fatigue.
• Keep children and animals away from an operating treadmill.
• Keep hands and loose clothing (e.g. scarves, ties) away from
all moving parts.
• Never use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Power
surges may occur in your household or office power supply
that could damage treadmill components. Unless you have
a properly-rated surge protector on the treadmill’s power
outlet we recommend unplugging the treadmill during an
electrical storm as a precaution.
• The ThermoTread GT is designed as a walking treadmill that
will allow the user to perform basic work functions (reading,
use of phone, tablet or computer) while walking at a low and
comfortable speed. Use caution while participating in other
activities while walking on your treadmill. These distractions
may cause you to lose balance, which may result in serious
injury.
• Avoid eating or drinking while on the treadmill. Any food,
liquid or other substances that may fall onto the treadmill
belt should be cleaned up immediately. Nothing other than
lubricant should ever enter the space between the belt and
the deck. If any foreign material gets in between the belt
and the deck, immediately turn off and unplug the treadmill,
loosen the belt (see instructions for Adjusting Tread-Belt
Tension) and clean the entire deck area, and the inside of the
entire walking belt, using a clean cloth. Once the belt is re-
tightened, check the belt alignment and re-lubricate the deck
following the instructions for Tread-Belt Lubrication.
• Do not use excessive pressure on the control console buttons.
The LCD screen buttons are precision set to function properly
with little finger pressure.
• Should you experience static electricity shocks while
working at your treadmill desk computer first check to see
that the treadmill, and all electronics that are connected to
your workstation (computer, monitor, etc.) are all properly
grounded. Especially in cold environments, static charges
can build up on the treadmill. One common method of
eliminating or reducing static electricity build-up is to place
the treadmill on an anti-static treadmill mat (contact iMovR
to purchase). If you experience static shocks when touching
your computer we recommend using a remote keyboard
with a wireless Bluetooth connection in order to break the
electrical circuit and prevent possible harm to your computer
equipment.
• Never drop or insert any object(s) into any openings.
• To disconnect, turn the treadmill off using the console
commands, turn off the ON/OFF “rocker” style switch at the
rear of the treadmill, and then remove the plug from the
outlet.
