GUIDELINES FOR GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Instruct each user to follow the guidelines listed below when getting on and off the treadmill.
1. Magnetic safety key 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 onto 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.
