least one foot of clearance behind it. Do not
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks

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

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),
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
