PERSONAL SAFETY
When using the treadmill, take the following precautions:
•
Do not allow children on or near the treadmill. Do not leave children unsu-
pervised around the treadmill.
•
Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, surface. Locate the treadmill
a few feet from walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the treadmill clear.
•
Turn OFF (O) and unplug the treadmill when adjusting or working near the rear
roller. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
•
Keep all electrical components, such as the motor, power cord, and I/O switch,
away from liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrail, display
console, or hood. Place liquids only in the appropriate receptacles.
•
The security clip should be attached at waist level prior to beginning a
workout. A cord connects the security clip to the red STOP button on the
console. If a user encounters difficulties, the running belt can be stopped by
pulling on the cord. To resume operation, press the Speed
▲
key.
•
Maintain the treadmill in good working condition. (Refer to the
Maintenance
section). Run through a check list prior to each use. Make sure that all
fasteners are secure and the belt is cleaned and running smoothly.
•
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout—no loose cloth-
ing. Tie long hair back. Keep all loose towels away from the running sur-
face. The running belt will not stop immediately if an object becomes
caught in the belt or rollers.
•
Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Use the handrail(s) whenever
possible. Step onto the running belt when the speed is at 1 mph (1.6 kph).
Never step off the treadmill while the running belt is moving.
•
Before the running belt begins moving (prior to a workout), and after it
stops (at the end of a workout), straddle the belt by placing your feet
firmly on the right and left side platforms.
•
Never turn ON the treadmill when someone is standing on the machine.
•
Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on
the treadmill when the running belt is moving.
•
Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrails, display console, or hood.
•
Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself other than the assembly and
maintenance instructions found in this manual. Refer to
Obtaining Service.
•
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnor-
mal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
