removing or replacing parts.
4. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped, damaged, or exposed to water.
5. Do not pull the treadmill by the power supply cord or use cord as a handle. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces and open flames.
