PROPER USAGE

Position your feet on the belt, bend your arms slightly and grasp the heart rate sensors
(as shown). While running, your feet should be located in the center of the belt so that
your hands can swing naturally and without contacting the front handlebars.
This treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a
slower speed and adjust the speed in small increments to reach a higher
speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running.
ENGLISH
CAUTION!
RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt. Place your feet on the side
rails before starting the treadmill. Start walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move.
Never start the treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on! In case of an emergency,
place both hands on the side arm rests to hold yourself up and place your feet onto the side rails.
USING THE SAFETY STOP
Your treadmill will not start unless the emergency stop button is reset. Attach the clip
end securely to your clothing. This safety stop is designed to cut the power to the
treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation of the safety stop every 2 weeks.
WARNING!
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety clip to your clothing. Pull on
the safety key clip first to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips
can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied
on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac
rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like
a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise
aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip
the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.
Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold.
You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
