Follow these seven easy steps for treadmill safety around children.

  1. Always keep young children away from your treadmill while it is plugged in. Contact with the moving platform can cause serious friction burns to children.

  2. Carefully read the operating and safety instructions of your new treadmill.

  3. When not in use, keep the treadmill´s safety/operating key hidden from children.

  4. Make sure there is plenty of empty space directly behind your treadmill.

  5. Always adjust the speed of the treadmill´s walking belt in slow increments.

  6. Always wear appropriate walking or running shoes while using the treadmill.

  7. When not in use, always switch off the power to your treadmill at the wall and unplug it.
