IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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

15. Do not perform exercises with the hand weights at speeds faster than a walk. Using weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using weights should be attempted only by experienced users.

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

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key and unplug the power cord when the treadmill is not in use.

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.

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

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on pages 5 and 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench and your own phillips screwdriver , two adjustable wrenches wire cutters , and a rubber mallet .

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 the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
