READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TREADMILL

CAUTION: Before starting any exercise program, it is recommended that you consult your physician.
WARNING: Connect this unit to a properly grounded outlet only.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet immediately after

using and before cleaning.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

:

1. Use 120 volt a.c. household current on a dedicated circuit.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. See diagram below for
grounding methods.

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. The use of an extension cord with this product is not recommended. If an extension cord is needed, use a short (less than 10 feet)
heavy gauge (14 gauge or better) extension cord with a three prong (grounded) plug and receptacle.

4. Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in. Remove the safety key and unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use
and before removing or replacing parts.

5. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or
exposed to water. Never move the treadmill belt while the power is turned off.

6. Do not pull the treadmill by the power supply cord or use cord as a handle. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and open
flames.

7. Fitness equipment must always be installed and used on a flat surface. Do not use outdoors or near water. Do not place the unit
on a loose rug or uneven surface. It is recommended to use an equipment mat to prevent the unit from moving while it is being
used, which could possibly scratch or damage the surface of your floor. It is recommended to have a minimum of 3 metres safe
clearance on all sides of the treadmill while in use.

8. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage, covered patio or near water.

21. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at once.

22. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward. This allows your heart rate to gradually
increase and decrease and will help prevent straining muscles.

23. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the level of exercise
being performed.

24. Start your program slowly and very gradually increase your speed and distance.

25. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear while exercising. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become entangled with
the moving parts of your treadmill. Do not walk or jog barefoot, in stocking feet or loose fitting shoes or slippers.

the front of the treadmill below the motor hood. Ensure that the safety key is installed, as the treadmill will not
power on without it.

When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time. Then the Time and Distance
windows will display Odometer readings for a short time. The Time window will show how many hours the
treadmill has been in use and the Distance window will show how many miles.

Note: Installing the tether key will also wake up the console.

STEP 2: Press and release the Start key to begin belt movement, at 0.5 mph, then

adjust to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys (console or hand rail). You may also use the rapid speed
keys 2 through 12 to adjust the speed.
