IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

ollowing important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

f

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.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet 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.

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

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

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should be used only by persons
weighing 275 pounds or less.

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

9. 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.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and 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.

11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call the toll­free telephone number on the front cover of
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
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.

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

14. 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 17 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)

15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10).

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

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

Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

19.
is running. Always remove the key and unplug
the power cord when the treadmill is not in
use.

20. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 16.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

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