Important Precautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and instructions in
this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. IMPEX assumes no
responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
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. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
3. Use the treadmill only as described.
4. The treadmill is intended for home use only.
Do not use the treadmill in any commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill
in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. The recommended minimum clearance
required around each treadmill for access to,
passage around, and emergency dismount
shall be stated. The minimum dimensions
are to be: 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each side of
the treadmill, and 2m (78 in.) behind the
machine.
7. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the treadmill at all times.
9. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 245 lbs. (125kg) or less.
10. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
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.
12. Plug the power cord into a surge
suppressor (not included), and plug the
surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet
(see page 11). To avoid overloading the
circuit, do not plug other electrical devices,
except for low-power devices such as cell
phone chargers, into the surge suppressor
or into an outlet on the same circuit.
13. 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 slow, accelerate, or stop
unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and
serious injury.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge
suppressor away from heated surfaces.
15. 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 TROUBLESHOOTING on
page 19 if the tread- mill is not working
properly.)
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill
(see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 11).
17. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold
the handrails while using the treadmill.
18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while
it is running. Always remove the key, press
the power switch into the off position and
unplug the power cord when the treadmill
is not in use.
