IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Before starting this or any other exercise
program, consult your physician, who can assist
you in determining the target heart rate zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition.
Certain exercise programs or types of equipment
may not be appropriate for all people. This is
especially important for people over the age of
35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing
health problems or balance impairments.
2) Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and
keep your estimated pulse rate within your target
heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages
24 and 25 in this manual regarding heart rate
monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly,
the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor
provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your
actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and
persons with medical conditions and/or a
specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.
3) Warm up before any exercise program by
doing 5-10 minutes of aerobic activity, followed
by stretching.
4) Inspect the equipment. Before EACH use, a
complete visual inspection, and test of the features
and functions of the assembled equipment is
required.
Do not use equipment if you detect
any incorrect, worn or loose components.
NEVER
operate the equipment if the equipment is not
functioning properly.
5) Do not wear loose or dangling clothing while
using the equipment. Wear comfortable clothes
that allow freedom of movement.
6) Wear comfortable shoes made of good support
with rubberized sole.
7) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath
during an exercise.
8) Avoid over training. You should be able to carry
on a conversation while exercising.
9) After an exercise session, cool down with slow
walking and stretching.
10) This equipment should not be used by or near
children.
11) Handicapped or disabled people must have
medical approval before using this equipment
and should be under close supervision when
using any exercise equipment.
12) If you are taking medication which may
affect your heart rate, a physician's advice
is absolutely essential.
13) Use this equipment only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
14) Only one person at a time should use this
equipment.
15) Do not put hands, feet, or any foreign objects
on or near this equipment when in use by
others.
16) Always use this equipment on a level surface.
17) Care should be taken when mounting or
dismounting the equipment.
Do not stand on
the Walking Belt while starting the Treadmill.
Straddle the Belt and stand on the plastic
Foot Rails.
18) Start exercise slowly and gradually increase
the amount of resistance.
19) If the user experiences dizziness, nausea, chest
pain, or any other abnormal symptoms, stop
exercise at once and consult a physician
immediately.
20) Use caution not to pinch fingers or hands in
moving parts when using the equipment.
21) Risk of electrical shock. This equipment is to be
used only
indoors and in a dry location.
22) Have plenty of clearance behind and in
front of your Treadmill. It is important to keep
children, pets, furniture and other objects out
of the way when using your Treadmill. You
should have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance
both in front of and behind your Treadmill and
a minimum of 2 feet of clearance on both
sides of the Treadmill.

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start
your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of
your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness
level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health
maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.
Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic
exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,
walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by
reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in
our bodies. Using the treadmill will help in reducing body fat and
increasing cardiovascular endurance.
Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.
It is the authoritative source of information about your New Balance
Treadmill.
Retain this manual for future reference.
