WARNING STATEMENTS INDICATE A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY.
YOU SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN DOING THE FOLLOWING:
• Removing power from the treadmill, or removing the power cord from the wall outlet. Always ensure
that the treadmill is unplugged from the wall outlet when you inspect or adjust the treadmill, or when
you isolate, remove, or replace a treadmill component.
• Removing the motor cover exposes high voltage components and potentially dangerous machinery.
Exercise extreme caution when you perform maintenance procedures with the motor cover removed.
• During service operations you will be very close to moving machinery and high voltage components.
When you perform maintenance procedures with the hood removed, remove jewelry (especially from
ears and neck), tie up long hair, remove neckties, and do not wear loose clothing.
• When the treadmill is operating, the capacitor will hold a lethal amount of charge. Do not touch the
capacitor as serious injury or death might result.
• When the treadmill is turned off and the power cord is removed from the wall outlet, the capacitor will
hold voltage for 30-60 seconds. Allow the capacitor to discharge for a period of one minute before you
touch or work near the capacitor. Do not attempt to discharge the capacitor by any other means.
• Exercise caution when touching any wire or electrical component during treadmill operation.
• When it is necessary to lift the treadmill, ensure that the treadmill has adequate support. Do not lift the
treadmill by the front.
SAFETY GUIDELINES YOU SHOULD KNOW AND FOLLOW INCLUDE:
• Read the owner's manual and follow all operation instructions.
• Operate the treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate the rear of the treadmill at least four feet from
walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the treadmill clear.
• Visually check the treadmill before beginning service or maintenance operations. If it is not completely
assembled or is damaged in any way, exercise extreme caution while operating and checking the
treadmill.
• When operating the treadmill, do not wear loose clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles.
Check the soles of your shoes and remove any embedded stones. Tie long hair back.
• Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Use the handrails whenever possible. Do not get on or off
the treadmill when the running belt is moving.
• Before starting the running belt, straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the guide rails of the
treadmill. You should also step off the belt and onto the guide rails of the treadmill after turning off the
running belt.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handrails, electronic console, or motor cover.
• Do not set anything on the handrails, electronic console, or motor cover. Never place liquids on any part
of the treadmill.
• To prevent electrical shock, keep all electrical components, such as the drive motor, power cord, and
circuit breaker away from water and other liquids.
• Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer-such attachments
might cause injuries.
• Turn off the treadmill when adjusting or working near the rear roller. Do not make any adjustments to
the running belt when someone is standing on the machine.
• Keep all loose items away from the treadmill running surface. A treadmill running belt will not stop
immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
