garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. 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

on the front cover of this manual, or see your
local electronics store.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the

slow, 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
