Use the incline trainer only as described in this manual. 4. The incline trainer is intended for home use only. Do not use the incline trainer in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting. 5. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the incline trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near water. 6. Place the incline trainer on a level surface, with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the incline trainer on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the incline trainer. 7.

Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included), and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet (see page 17). 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.

To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NORDICTRACK dealer, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual, or see your local electronics store. 14. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the incline trainer. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury. 15. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces. 16. 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 properly.
