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
13), 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 13. 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 29 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
Read, understand, and test the emergency
17.
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
page 16).
18. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
19. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is
unning. Always remove the key, unplug the
r

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 parts bag, 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.
