Owner`s manual

• Plug the power cord of the treadmill directly into a dedicated grounded circuit carrying 15 amps (110 Volt

model) or 7 amps (220 Volt model). We recommend the use of a surge protector. Position the treadmill

so that the wall plug is visible and accessible. If the Bowflex

Treadmill power cord is damaged, it must

be replaced with a new power cord from Nautilus, Inc. Please contact your local dealer or Nautilus, Inc.

directly.

• Position the treadmill on a clear, level surface. Do not place the treadmill on thick carpet as it may interfere

with proper ventilation. Treadmill mats can usually be purchased from your treadmill dealer.

• Always wear running or aerobic shoes with rubber soles.

• Always attach the safety pull pin rope to your clothing when using the treadmill. If the treadmill should

suddenly increase in speed due to an electronics failure or the speed being inadvertently increased, the

treadmill will come to a sudden stop when the pull pin is disengaged from the console.

• Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. After turning the power on and

adjusting the speed control, there may be a pause before the walking belt begins to move. Always stand

on the foot rails on the sides of the frame until the belt is moving. Care should be used when mounting or

dismounting the treadmill.

• Always hold the handrails when initially walking or running on the treadmill, until you are comfortable with

the use of the treadmill.

• The Bowflex

3, 5 and 7 Series treadmills are for home use only.

• When you are not using the treadmill, unplug the power cord and remove the safety pull pin.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The power cord is equipped with an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
