Safety Clearances
The following information is supplied as regional
reference data regarding safety clearances around the exterior of the treadmill.
- EU: The European EN ISO 20957 Safety Standard requires a 6.5 ft. (2 m) minimum from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface and at least as wide as the treadmill.
- U.S. and other regions: The ASTM International (ASTM ) F2115 - 12 Standard recommends the minimum dimensions to be 1.64 ft. (0.5 m) on each side of the treadmill and 6.5 ft. (2 m) behind the rearward most portion of the usable moving surface or 6.5 ft. (2 m) behind the furthest rearward obstruction to emergency egress from the treadmill.
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To adjust, loosen the Jam Nut, and turn the Stabilizing Leg until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Re tighten the Jam Nut.
Note: Stabilize the treadmill each time the unit is
relocated.
Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly
adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment.
A
bubble level is recommended to ensure proper leveling.
