GETTING STARTED
Select Your Workout Area
Select the location where you are going to put your
Nautilus® TreadClimber® exercise machine carefully. The
best place for your TreadClimber® machine is on a hard, level
surface. You will need at least two feet (61 cm) on each side
and in front of your TreadClimber® machine, and at least four
feet (122 cm) behind it for dismount.
Make sure that the location you choose has a grounded,
3-prong power outlet within reach of the TreadClimber®
machine power cord, preferably to the front of the machine
where you will be less likely to step on the cord during
dismount.
NOTE: The TreadClimber® machine is designed to plug into grounded, non-GFI outlets only. To determine if your
outlet or circuit breaker is GFI, look for a test and reset button on them. If they have the test and reset
button it is a GFI outlet or circuit breaker, and therefore not suitable for plugging the TreadClimber®
machine into.
