POWER REQUIREMENTS

Power Requirements:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONNECTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF AN

ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE MAN 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.

This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power. Voltage spikes, surges
and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To reduce the
possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.

Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single outlet surge protector
with a UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400V or less
and an electrical rating 120VAC, 15 amps.

This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current, should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill comes with an electrical cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the
drawing below.

How to transport the treadmill

EVO 3i MOTORIZED TREADMILL

TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS

:

1. To move the treadmill you will need to first flip
out the Right and Left Transport Wheel Brackets
(34 and 33) located on the underside of the Left
and Right Uprights (17 and 18). You may need
to tilt the treadmill to one side in order to access
the wheels. Be careful when tilting the treadmill
because it is heavy. You may need the
assistance of another person to do this.

2. Be sure both Transport Wheel Brackets (34 and

33) are flipped down and resting firmly on the
floor as shown in drawing 2.

3. Carefully lift the treadmill up slightly from the rear
and roll it to a desired position. Flip the
Transport Wheel Brackets (34 and 33) back up
into their stored position. Follow the instructions
on the STABILIZER ADJUSTMENT page in this
manual to level the frame to the floor.

LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

LEVEL ADJUSTMENT:

Uneven flooring could cause the SPRING KNOBS not to engage and thus prevent the EVO3i from inclining.
To adjust the levelers follow these instructions:
You will need someone to help you with this procedure, as you will need to tip the treadmill on its side.

Tip the treadmill to the left/right. You will then see the LEVEL ADJUSTERS. These wi ll need to be screwed either in or out
to level the treadmill. Repeat for the other side. It may help to use a spirit level when adjusting the level on your treadmill.

MAINTENANCE

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE EVO 3i TREADMILL:
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance

could cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and exceed the LIMITED WARRANTY coverage.

?? Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids

away and keep it out of direct sunlight.

?? Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has been

adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could cause the belt to
shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing damage. To adjust the
belt back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:

?? Walking belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key

provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into
the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back
towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set
walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer
below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.

?? Walking belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key

provided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into
the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back
towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set
walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer
below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.

?? Walking belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn

both the left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same distance, usually a 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction.
Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should now walk on the belt
to determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is not slipping. The tension
should be just tight enough not to slip.

WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!

Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.

EVO 3i MOTORIZED TREADMILL

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING:
Routine cleaning of your treadmill will extend the product's life.

?? Warning: To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the power cord is unplugged

from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

?? Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep

liquids away and keep it out of direct sunlight.

?? After each workout: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to

remove excess perspiration.

?? Weekly: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and

eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION:
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be checked

periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated usually
within the first year or 500 hours of use. For service call your local EVO dealer or contact us directly at 888-800-1167.

Every 3 months of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far as you can
reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.

Please use Lube 'N Walk (can be purchased from your dealer or call the number on the front of the manual), or a non­petroleum based silicone such as "Napa 8300" (available at most stores).

To apply lubricant to the walking belt:

1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in center of the walking board.

2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.

3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6" from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front
of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.

4. Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.

Spray lubricant from front to back.

IMPORTANT STEPS

Warning:
Before using this product, please consult your personal physician for a complete physical examination. Frequent and

strenuous exercise should be approved by your doctor first. If any discomfort should result from your use of this product, stop
exercising and consult your doctor. Proper usage of this product is essential. Please read your manual carefully before
exercising.

Please keep all children away from the equipment during use and when equipment is unattended.
Always wear appropriate clothing, including athletic shoes, when exercising. Do not wear loose clothing that could become

caught during exercising.
Make sure that all bolts and nuts are tightened when equipment is in use. Periodic maintenance is required on all exercise

equipment to keep it in good condition.
Before beginning:
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years, or

are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time gradually, a few minutes per week.
Initially you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone. However, your aerobic fitness will improve

over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own pace. Ultimately,
you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. And the better your aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to
stay in your target zone. But remember these essentials:

?? Contact your physician before starting a workout or training program. Have your doctor review your training and diet

programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

?? Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
?? Supplement your program with some type of aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, dancing and/or

bicycling. Monitor your pulse frequently. If you do not have an electronic heart rate monitor, have your physician
show you the proper way to manually check your pulse by using your wrist or neck. Establish your target heart rate
based on your age and condition.

?? Drink plenty of fluids during the course of your routine. You must replace the water content lost from excessive

exercising to avoid dehydration. Avoid drinking large amounts of cold liquids. Fluids should be at room temperature
when consumed.

EVO 3i MOTORIZED TREADMILL

TARGET HEART RATE

Finding your pulse:
To make sure your heart is beating in its target zone, you’ll need to know how to monitor your heart rate. The easiest way is

to feel the pulse in the carotid artery on either side of your neck, between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. Count
the number of beats in ten seconds, and then multiply that number by six. This gives you the number of beats per minute.

How fast should your heart beat during aerobic exercise? Fast enough to reach and stay in its “target zone,” a range of beats
per minute that is largely determined by your age and physical condition. To determine your target zone, consult the chart
we have provided.

FITNESS: Optimal training, aerobic or cardiovascular

Aerobic exercise:

Is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. It will improve the fitness of your lungs
and heart: your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle
groups - arms, legs or buttocks, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should
be part of your entire exercise routine.

HEALTH: Beginner, low intensity with long duration produces fat burning

STRETCHING ROUTINE

Warm up and cool down:
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two

and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your
workouts to four or five times per week.

Warming up is an important part of your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your body for more strenuous
exercise by heating up and stretching out your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more
oxygen to your muscles. At the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. We suggest
the warm-up and cool-down exercises on the following pages:

Toe Touch:
Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you

stretch toward your toes. Reach down as far as you can and hold for 15 counts.

Shoulder Lift:
Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear for one count. Then lift your left

shoulder up for one count as you lower your right shoulder.

Head Roll:
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling the stretch up the left side of

your neck. Next, rotate your head back for one count, stretching your chin to the
ceiling and letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one count,
and finally, drop your head to your chest for one count.
