and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill.
FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.

3. Use the treadmill only as described.

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. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it

the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

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

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

8. The treadmill should be used only by per­sons weighing 400 lbs. (181 kg) or less.

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 16).

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 heart rate monitor is not a medical

HOW TO CONNECT THE TREADMILL

182993

Locate the cable

DANGER: Improper connec-

tion of the equipment-grounding conductor
increases the risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualied electrician or serviceman if

you are unsure whether the product is prop­erly grounded. Do not modify the plug—if

it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician. Do not use

an adapter to connect the plug to an improper
receptacle.

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

This product must be grounded. If it should mal-

function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock.

This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product has a cord with an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle.
Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an exten­sion cord. The receptacle must be grounded.

NEMA 5-20
Receptacle

jack on the front
of the treadmill.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack. Route the
cable so that it will
not be pinched or
crushed by the lift
mechanism or the
frame.

A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the treadmill. Connect a CATV cable from
the coaxial output on your equipment (usually labeled
TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the front of
the treadmill.

Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are avail­able at electronics stores. See the owner’s manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local audio/
visual service provider.
