TR6.8 Treadmill
Important Operation Instructions
• NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any
operational change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed on the
computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power
supply that could damage treadmill components.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching
television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the
center of the belt, which may result in serious injury.
• NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. XTERRA Fitness treadmills start with
at a very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on the
belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.
• ALWAYS hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It
is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt. Pulling this safety tether cord will stop
tread-belt movement.
To Use:
1. Place the magnet into position on the round portion of the console control head. Your treadmill will not start
and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.
2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The magnet has
strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should be attached
securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The
treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the magnet is pulled
off the console.
Safety Tether Cord
Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation.
