WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-
structions in this manual and all warnings on your incline trainer before using your incline trainer.
FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by
or through the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over age 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the incline trainer are ad-
equately informed of all warnings and
precautions.
3. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
4. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 2.4 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind
it and 0.6 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the oor or
carpet from damage, place a mat under the
incline trainer.
5. Do not operate the incline trainer where aero-
sol products are used or where oxygen is
being administered.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer until
it is properly and fully assembled (see
ASSEMBLY on page 8).
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
incline trainer.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
9. The incline trainer should not be used by per-
sons weighing more than 400 lbs. (181 kg).
10. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the in-
cline trainer. Athletic support clothes are rec-
ommended for both men and women. Always
wear athletic shoes. Never use the incline
trainer with bare feet, wearing only stock-
ings, or in sandals.
12. When connecting the power cord, follow the
instructions on page 14. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit as the incline
trainer. Do not use an extension cord.
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 33 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline
trainer (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
on page 17).
16. Never start the incline trainer while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.
17. The incline trainer is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
18. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-
vice. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
19. Never leave the incline trainer unattended
while it is running.
20. Do not change the incline of the incline
trainer by placing objects under it.
