IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read all important precautions and information in this manual before operating the treadmill or the television.

1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

2.Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3.The treadmill is intended for home use only. Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4.Place the treadmill on a level surface, with eight feet of clearance behind it. All parts of the treadmill must be at least one foot from the nearest wall. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

5.Slots and openings in the treadmill and TV are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation, and to help prevent overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks openings, or near a radiator or other heat source.

6.Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

7.Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

2

8.You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise or lower the treadmill.

9.Keep children and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

10.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

11.Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

12.Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women.

13.Always wear athletic shoes when using the treadmill. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

14.Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.

15.The treadmill operates on 120 V, 60 Hz, AC power only. Consult your dealer before connecting the treadmill if you do not know the AC voltage in your area, as incorrect voltage might damage the treadmill or TV. Never connect the treadmill to other than the specified voltage such as 50 Hz or to direct current.

16.When connecting the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 9), plug the power cord into a surge protector (not included) and plug the surge protector into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not overload wall outlets as this can result in a risk of electric shock, fires and other hazards.

17.Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

18.The power cord and surge protector should be positioned so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the cords at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where the power cord exits the treadmill. Keep the power cord and surge protector away from heated surfaces.

19.Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

20.If an outside antenna or cable system is connected, be sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup 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 antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

21.An outside antenna system should not be located 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.Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

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

24.To reduce the possibility of the treadmill overheating, do not operate the treadmill continuously for longer than one hour.

25.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Move the on/off switch to the “off” position when the treadmill is not in use.

26.To protect the treadmill and TV during lightning storms, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.

27.Do not push objects through any openings in the treadmill or TV as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never

3

spill or spray any type of liquid into the treadmill or TV.

28.Unplug the treadmill from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

29.Always unplug the power cord 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.

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

31.The graphic symbols on the back cover of the TV mean the following:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of unin-

sulated “dangerous voltage” within the TV’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte-

nance (servicing) instructions in this manual.

32.Unplug the treadmill from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the treadmill.

If the treadmill has been exposed to water.

If the treadmill or TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.

If the treadmill has been dropped.

When the treadmill exhibits a distinct change in performance.

33.When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

34.Upon completion of any service or repairs to the treadmill or TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition (refer to the drawing at the top of page 5).

Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger as a ground wire.

Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83m) apart.

Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

Use 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 particular, 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.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using. SEARS assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
