IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-
tructions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. FREEMO-
s
TION FITNESS assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
through the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. 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.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
7. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly assembled (see ASSEMBLY on page 7).
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
9. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
10. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg). Do not
allow more than one person on the treadmill
at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women.
Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
12. 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.
13. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that meets all the specifications described on
page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor,
contact the store where you purchased this
product, or see your local electronics store. If
you are unable to contact a store, please see
HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on
page 2 and order part number 146148.
14. 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 unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
15. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.
16. 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.)

Assembly 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. Assembly can be completed using the included
hex key and your own adjustable wrench .
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
mall amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
s
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.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
shows the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preat-
tached to one of the parts to be assembled. Extra hardware may be included. To avoid damaging plastic
parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, unplug the power cord.
Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, moving it
requires two or three persons. Hold the metal frame
firmly in the location shown at the right. CAUTION:
To decrease the possibility of damage to the treadmill
or of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic front
cover or by the handrail.
the wheels to the desired location and then lower it to the
level position.
use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do
not attempt to move the treadmill over uneven surfaces.
After the treadmill is placed in the location where it will
be used, make sure that both leveling feet and the base
pads rest firmly on the floor (only one side is shown). If
the treadmill rocks even slightly, turn one of the leveling
feet clockwise or counterclockwise until the rocking mo
tion is eliminated.

HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
T
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with highperformance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply
ubstances other than the included walking belt lu-
s
ricant to the walking belt or the walking platform.
b
Silicone spray and other substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
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.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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, contact the store where you purchased this product,
see your local electronics store. If you are unable to
contact a store, please see HOW TO CONTACT
CUSTOMER CARE on page 2 and order part number 146148.

r
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
nd plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
a
utlet that is properly installed and grounded in
o
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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.

Surge Suppressor
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 monitoring 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.
