Stop and Pause Operation
Stop operation is intended for situations that require the treadmill to be stopped
immediately. When activated the stop operation will immediately stop the tread-
mills walking belt. It is imperative that the user understands the stop operation
before using the treadmill. Please review this section carefully.
There are two ways to activate the stop operation: emergency stop and standard
stop. Both methods will stop the treadmill immediately, but emergency stop is
designed for hazardous situations whereas standard stop is designed for typical
use.
The Pause button allows the user to temporarily pause the operation of the tread-
mill. When activated the pause button will stop and maintain the treadmill in the
program that the user was last in. When pressed again the program will resume
where the user left off. If the pause button is activated and the user fails to press it
again after the number of minutes set in the managers menu for pause mode
duration then the treadmill will clear the program and return to the startup screen.

Using Emergency Stop
1. Press the red button that is centered on the heart rate
bar. Once the button is pressed it will lock down.
2. Release the button to operate treadmill. To release

turn the button clockwise.
3. Once the Emergency Stop button has been reset the

screen will display the startup image .

Using Standard Stop
1. Press the STOP button on the console.
2. Select the Press to reset option to return to the star-

tup screen.
Using Pause Mode
1. Press the PAUSE button on the console to temporarily

pause the treadmill operation and preserve the pro-
gram information.
2. Press the PAUSE button again or the RESUME func-

tion key to resume treadmill operation.

If the treadmill appears to be damaged take measures to ensure that no one
uses the treadmill. Turn the unit off at the power switch, disconnect and remove
the power cord.
Contact Paramount customer service at 1-800-721-2121 to order replacement
components.
Do not use components that are not approved for replacement.

Maintenance Schedule
It is recommended that the facility adopt a regular cleaning and maintenance
schedule that the staff can follow. Following a cleaning and maintenance routine
will ensure that the treadmill runs smoothly. Log and maintain any service records
for the treadmill.
Daily

Walking Belt Tracking
Proper belt tracking means that the belt is centered laterally on both the front and
rear roller so that the belt is not shifted to one side. Proper belt tracking ensures
that the belt can cycle smoothly and efficiently. Proper belt tracking is necessary
to ensure safety and to extend the life of the walking belt.
Check Belt Tracking Regularly
