IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Caution !
Do not attempt to plug in or operate your treadmill before reading the Important Precautions.

Important Precautions

Power Source

Plug the treadmill power cord into a dedicated (not shared) 110 volt, alternating current (AC), 15 amp
grounded outlet circuit. Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet.

Do not modify the plug to fit an existing outlet. If it will not fit your outlet, have the correct outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Never operate your treadmill if the power cord has been damaged. Keep the power cord away from
any heated surfaces.

Do not run the power cord under the treadmill. Make sure that the power cord has enough slack to
allow the walking deck to fully elevate.

Treadmill Placement

Select a location that is:

• Indoors, away from a water source (pool, hot tub, sauna etc.)

• Away from the use of aerosol sprays or the administration of oxygen.

• Level, free of obstructions, and offers clear access on all sides.
You may place the treadmill on a carpeted floor, but deep pile shag carpeting could interfere with
proper ventilation. Use a treadmill mat (usually available from your retailer) if you have deep pile carpeting.

Treadmill Operation

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Do not overexert yourself during a workout. If you feel any pain or discomfort, consult your
physician immediately.

Close supervision is required whenever your treadmill is in use. This is especially important when
in use around children, invalids, disabled persons and pets.

Wear clothing appropriate for exercising on your treadmill. Always wear running or training shoes
with rubber soles. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may become caught in the treadmill. Keep
fingers, jewelry, towels and long hair away from any moving parts.

Always attach the Safety Key lanyard clip to your clothing so that the unit will shut down if you
stumble or fall.
