IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-

tructions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as-

s
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of
this product.

1. Before beginning any exercise program, con­sult your physician. This is especially impor­tant for persons over the age of 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.

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 mois-

ture 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 the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

8. The treadmill should not be used by persons

weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 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.

11. When connecting the power cord (see page 13),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included). Plug the surge suppressor into
a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or

more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 13. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NORDICTRACK dealer or call the
telephone number on the front cover of this
manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.

Failure to use a properly functioning surge

13.
suppressor could result in damage to the con­trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys­tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.

14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.

15. 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 26 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15).

17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices.

19.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart
rate trends in general.

20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit

reaker to the “off” position when the tread-

b
mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6

or the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)

f

21. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

readmill until it is properly assembled. (See

t
ASSEMBLY on page 7, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 25.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg) to
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

9. An outside antenna system should not be lo-

2

cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or cir­cuits. When installing an outside antenna sys­tem, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.

22. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.

23. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the frame is held securely in the
storage position.

24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.

25. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening on the treadmill.

DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main­tenance and adjustment procedures de­scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.

only. Do not use the treadmill in any commer­cial, rental, or institutional setting.

28. If an outside antenna or cable system is con­nected, be sure that the antenna or cable sys­tem is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro­vides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc­ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-

30. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not re­move the cover or the back of the television.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

31. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the treadmill or the television, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to con­firm that the unit is in proper operating con­dition.

• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm

AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG
(1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire,
or larger as a ground wire.

• Secure an antenna lead-in and ground wires

to the house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83m)
apart.

• Mount an antenna discharge unit as close

as possible to where the lead-in enters the
house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6

AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent
when a separate antenna-grounding elec­trode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).

Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer’s at­tention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu
lar, specifies that the cable ground shall be con­nected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking

belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to
