IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill. 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. Use the treadmill only as described in this manual. 3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 2 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. 4. When choosing a location for the treadmill, make sure that the location and position permit access to a plug. 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. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered. 7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times. 8. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 115 kg (250 lbs.). 9. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time. 10. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing 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. 11. When connecting the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 8), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. 12. If you need an extension cord, use only a 14- gauge cord of 1.5 m (5 ft.) or less in length. 13. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. 14. Never move the walking belt whilst 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 BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.) 15. Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails whilst using the treadmill. 16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed. 17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. 18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.) 19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 18.) You must be able to safely lift 20 kg in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill. 20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill. 21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed. 22. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. 23. Never drop or insert any object into any opening. 3
