2. Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least eight feet of clearance behind it, two feet on each side, and six inches in front. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or oxygen is administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 350 pounds. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 11), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 11.

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the con-

o reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

trol system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

13. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 25 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

14. Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedure before using the treadmill (see TREADMILL OPERATION).

15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Always wear ath-

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position when the tread mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)

Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

19. treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 23.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

When folding or moving the treadmill, make

20. sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

21. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the readmill every three months.

22. Never drop or insert any object into any openng.

23.

DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning the treadmill, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the

ssembly requires two persons.Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not

dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included allen wrench and your own phillips screwdriver .

For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags, check to see if the part has been preattached.

1. Identify the Right Upright (74), which has holes in the indicated locations.

Set the Right Upright (74) near the Frame (48) as shown. Insert the Upright Wire Harness (75) into the lower end of the Right Upright and out of the top.

Place an elastic band around the Upright Wire Harness (75) and the Right Upright (74) to keep the Upright Wire Harness from falling into the Right Upright. Leave the elastic band on until step 8 is completed.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
