Product Owner's Manual: Important Safety Instructions 2
Do not allow children, or people unfamiliar with the operation of
this equipment, on or near it. Do not leave children
unsupervised around the equipment.
Make sure all users wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for
their workouts and avoid loose or dangling clothing. Users
should not wear shoes with heels or leather soles, and they
should check the soles of their shoes to remove any dirt and
embedded stones. They should also tie long hair back.
Never leave the equipment unattended when it is plugged in.
Unplug the equipment from its power source when it is not in
use, before cleaning it, and before providing authorized service.
Note: The optional power adapter is considered a power
source for self-powered equipment.
Use the power adapter provided with the equipment. Plug the
power adapter into an appropriate, grounded power outlet as
marked on the equipment.
Care should be taken when mounting or dismounting the
equipment.
For Treadmills: Do not use typing or web surfing features while
walking at speeds that exceed a slow and relaxed leisurely
pace. Always stabilize yourself by holding a stationary handle
bar while using typing or web surfing features.
For AMT and EFX: Always stabilize yourself by holding a
stationary handle bar while using typing or web surfing features.
Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedures
before use.
Keep the power cord or optional power adapter and plug away
from heated surfaces.
Route power cables so that they are not walked on, pinched, or
damaged by items placed upon or against them, including the
equipment itself.
Ensure the equipment has adequate ventilation. Do not place
anything on top of or over the equipment. Do not use on a
cushioned surface that could block the ventilation opening.
Assemble and operate the equipment on a solid, level surface.
SPACING—The below minimum spacing recommendations are
based on a combination of the ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards
and EN (European) regulations as of October 1, 2012, for
access, passage around, and emergency dismount:
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each side of
the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the machine.
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a minimum of 0.5
m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and 0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind
or in front the machine.
Careful consideration should be given to the requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), US Code 28
CFR (see Section 305). ASTM standards are voluntary and may
not reflect current industry standards. The actual area for
access, passage around, and emergency dismount is the
responsibility of the facility. The facility should consider the total
space requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal regulations.
Standards and regulations are subject to change at any time.
Important: These spacing recommendations should be used
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves. Avoid temperature
extremes.
