IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure hat all users of this treadmill are adequately

t 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 mois-

ture 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 not be used by persons

weighing more than 325 pounds.

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 12), 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 12. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local PROFORM dealer or call the toll-free 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 uppressor could result in damage to the con-

s trol 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 suppres-

sor 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 26 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 14).

16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing 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 sensors are not medical devices.

Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position when the tread mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6 for the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)

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

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 7, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 25.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by lacing objects under the treadmill.

22. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the frame is held securely by the pin

n the latch knob.

or other electric light or power circuits, or

here it can fall into such power lines or cir-

uits. When installing an outside antenna sys-

c tem, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

readmill regularly.

24. Never insert or drop any object into any

opening.

25.

DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning the treadmill, and 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.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

27. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected, be sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up 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.

28. An outside antenna system should not be lo-

cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines

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

30. Upon completion of any service or repairs to the treadmill or the television, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper operating condition.

Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

•

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

r other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to

l temperatures above 120° F (50° C) or below 15° F (-10° C).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-

sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-

self near the center of the walking belt. For the con-

sole to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

Next, pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side (the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges). Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

• people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 28).
