Life Fitness Treadmills:

Platinum Club Series Treadmill

See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving surface.

Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par-

ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must stop immediately.

Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

1 GETTING STARTED

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the treadmill.

•DANGER: Risk of injury to persons–To avoid injury, stand on the siderails before starting treadmill.

•DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug this Life Fitness product before cleaning or

attempting any maintenance activity.

• DANGER: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury, it is imperative to connect each product to a properly grounded electrical outlet.

• WARNING: Keep the area six feet (two meters) by three feet (one meter) behind the treadmill clear of any obstructions, including walls, furniture, and other equipment.

• WARNING: Be sure the emergency stop lanyard is clipped to the user and in proper position on the treadmill before beginning any workout.

•To disconnect, turn power OFF at the ON/OFF switch, then remove plug from electrical outlet.

•Never operate a Life Fitness product if it has a damaged power cord or electrical plug, or if it has been dropped, damaged, or even partially immersed in water. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.

•Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the equipment by the power cord or use the cord as a handle. Do not run the power cord on the floor along the side of the treadmill. Refer to Section 1.2 for proper power cord routing.

•If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.

LOCATION

•Position this product so that the power cord plug is accessible to the user.

•Never operate a Life Fitness product with the air openings blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair, or any obstructing material.

•Do not use this product in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Such substances create the danger of combustion and explosion.

•Close supervision is necessary when used near children, invalids or disabled persons.

•Do not use this product outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.

•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments that have not been recommended by the manufacturer.

OPERATION

•Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.

•Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.

•Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.

•Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are recommended.

•Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.

•Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.

•Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.

•Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional stability is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side platforms.

•Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.

•The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the club manager. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW key presses. To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined time period (i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only PRESSED events are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence then, the sequence is rejected). Once the Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the registry, and then issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.
