Treadmill

How to adjust

  1. Clip the safety key to your clothing — shirt hem or waistband — before running, not around your wrist.
  2. Start the belt at a slow walking speed, about 1-2 mph (2-3 km/h), then raise the speed in small steps with the console buttons.
  3. Set the incline with the incline buttons; start at 0-1% and build up gradually.

How to use

  1. Stand on the fixed side rails on either side of the belt, holding the handrails, with the safety key clipped to your clothing.
  2. Press start so the belt runs slowly, wait until it's moving steadily, then step onto the middle of the belt one foot at a time.
  3. Walk or run in the middle of the belt, standing tall with your eyes forward; only touch the rails lightly when you need balance.
  4. To finish, slow down gradually to an easy walk for a few minutes, press stop, wait for the belt to come to a complete stop, then hold the rail and step off.

Safety notes

  • Always clip the safety key to your clothing before starting the belt — if you fall or drift back, it pulls free and the belt stops.
  • To stop in a hurry, hold the rails, put both feet on the fixed side rails, then hit the stop button or pull the safety key; never jump off and never step backwards while the belt is still moving.
  • Chest pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness means hitting the emergency stop, stepping onto the side rails and ending the session.
  • Never step straight onto a fast-moving belt; always start from the side rails at a slow speed.
