IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in- structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product. 1. Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. 2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions. 3. Use the treadmill only as described. 11. When connecting the power cord (see page 9), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. When replacing the fuse in the power cord adapter, insert an ASTA-approved BS1362, 13-amp fuse into the fuse carrier. 12. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3conductor, 14-gauge (1 mm2) cord that is no longer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). 4. Place the treadmill 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 treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. 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 age 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times. 13. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. 14. 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 16 if the treadmill is not working properly.) 15. Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedure before using the treadmill (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11). 16. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill. 8. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 265 lbs. (120 kg). 9. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time. 10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when 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. 17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including your 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. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed. 3
