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 that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and
precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3. Place on a level surface, with 2m of clearance behind it. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under
the treadmill.

4. When choosing a location for the treadmill make sure that the location and position permit access to a plug.

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

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

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

8. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 100kg.

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

10. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing 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.

11. When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA
approved BS 1362 type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used. No other appliance should
be on the same circuit.

12. If you need an extension cord, use only 14 gauge cord of 1.5m or less in length.

13. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned on. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is
damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See “Troubleshooting” Page32. If the treadmill is not working
properly.)

15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Stand on the side rails hold the handrails start the
unit at a low speed and then step on to the unit, when comfortable increase the speed to one that you’re comfortable
with..

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

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

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the safety key when the treadmill is not in use.

19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it’s properly assembled. (See Page 17 “Assembly” and Page
25 “Folding the Treadmill”)

20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.

STRETCHING ROUTINE

Warm up and cool down:

A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Warming up is an important part of
your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and
stretching out your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles. At the
end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. W e suggest the following warm-up and cool­down exercises:

Toe Touch:

Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you
stretch toward your toes. Reach down as far as you can and hold for 15 counts.

Shoulder Lift:

Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear for one count. Then lift your left shoulder
up for one count as you lower your right shoulder.

Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling the stretch up the left side of your
neck. Next, rotate your head back for one count, stretching your chin to the ceiling
and letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one count, and finally,
drop your head to your chest for one count.

Head Roll:

28

AG-12301 Treadmill

STRETCHING ROUTINE

Hamstring Stretch:

Sit with your right leg extended. Rest the sole of your left foot against
your right inner thigh. Stretch toward your toe as far as possible. Hold
for 15 counts. Relax and then repeat with left leg extended.

Side Stretch:

Open your arms to the side and continue lifting them until they are over
your head. Reach your right arm as far upward toward the ceiling as you
can for one count. Feel the stretch up your right side. Repeat this action
with your left arm.

Calf-Achilles Stretch:

Lean against a wall with your left leg in front of the right and your arms
forward. Keep your right leg straight and the left foot on the floor; then
bend the left leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall.
Hold, and then repeat on the other side for 15 counts.

DECK LUBRICATION:

The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be checked
periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated usually
within the first 400 hours of use.

Every 2 months of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far as you can
reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.

Please use 100% Silicon Oil to lubricate your treadmill deck.

To apply lubricant to the walking belt:

Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.

eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.

1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in center of the walking board.

2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.

3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6" from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front
of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.

on the LCD.

2. If when holding the contact sensors on the handlebars the heart symbol is not displayed, please disassemble the
handlebars and check to make sure both sensor wires are assembled correctly. Disconnect and then reconnect them
