Important Safety Instructions

This product will be wired for either 120 Volts AC nominal power input OR 230 Volts AC nominal input. It is factory-equipped

with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to the proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is

connected to a dedicated power line having an outlet with the same configuration as that of the plug. NO adapter should

be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the

reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel. Warning: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

Attention

Star Trac recommends that units be spaced a minimum of 8 inches (200 mm) apart to allow safe and easy ingress and

egress. More importantly, there must be at least 48 inches (1.25 m) of free space behind them each unit.

As with any motorized equipment, the area where the units are located must be free of obstructions and fixtures with

sharp edges to prevent injury in the event that a user trips or loses balance and falls. Failure to follow the obstruction

free spacing requirement may result in entrapment of the user and cause significant injury. DO NOT place near wet

areas (such as pools, showers, etc.).

This chapter includes precautions and fitness safeguards for the installation and use of the TreadClimber.

These safety

notes are directed to you as the owner of the machine. Please read this chapter carefully before installing or using your
