3 / GETTING
STARTED
Using your treadmill is meant to be a pleasant experience. Before
starting, however, make sure that you always keep the following
safety concerns in mind:
• As with any fitness program, have your physician or other health
care professional determine your capacity for exercise and
proceed accordingly. If you have been physically inactive for some
time, a complete physical examination is advisable.
• Begin your exercise program gradually and only increase the
duration and intensity of the exercise as your capacity improves.
• Observe the precautions associated with aerobic exercise,
specifically with regard to warm-up and cool-down periods,
overexertion, target pulse rate, recovery pulse and breathing rates.
• Never continue to exercise if you feel any abnormal symptoms or pain.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can get caught in the running belt.
• Never use the treadmill with the front roller cover removed.
• Keep hands, feet, fingers, clothing, and towels away from the
moving belt and rollers while making adjustments or performing
alignment procedures.
• Always disconnect the power cord while cleaning the treadmill or
making repairs.
