Guidelines For Getting On and Off the Treadmill

Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the treadmill.

1. Magnetic safety cord should be in place on the display and should be

securely clipped onto an area of clothing approximately waist high.

2. The walking belt should be moving at minimum speed before the user steps

onto the treadmill.

3. Stand next to the treadmill and place both hands on the front handrail.

4. Straddle the walking belt or step onto the side of the deck. Step onto the

moving belt and begin walking.

5. (Optional) To get the feel of the moving belt place the foot nearest the

treadmill on the walking belt and let it move backwards. Lift it and repeat

several times until comfortable with the treadmill speed.

6. When walking comfortably on the treadmill, let go of the handrail.

7. While walking on the treadmill:

• Face forward. Avoid looking down at the

walking belt.

• Maintain speed by keeping a consistent

distance from the handrail.

• Adjust the speed and incline as desired. Hold

the handrail as the speed and incline change.

8. Before stepping off the treadmill, place one

hand on the handrail, wait for the belt to stop,

then step off.
