ssembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
A
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using a 7/32" hex
key and an adjustable wrench .
ote: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
N
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.
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
efore moving the treadmill, unplug the power cord.
B
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. Carefully roll the treadmill on
the wheels to the desired location and then lower it to the
level position. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury,
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 motion is eliminated.

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
our treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
Y
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply
substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. 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 IN THE US
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs 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, or
see your local electronics store. If you are unable to
contact a store, please see HOW TO CONTACT
CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual
and order part number 146148.
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
n equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
a
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
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 unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
Lug
Metal Screw
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
