this manual and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.

12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con­trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys­tem is damaged, the walking belt may change

16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

sudden jumps in speed.

18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user’s move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as
an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
