Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your FUEL treadmill from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the treadmill on a flat level surface with access to a 120-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit in which it is connected. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 4.
Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and treadmill may result.
Do not block the rear of the treadmill. Provide a minimum of 3 1/2 feet clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.
Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can cause harm.
Keep hands away from all moving parts.
Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the treadmill is not working properly, call your dealer.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
Do not use outdoors.
To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove the plug from the outlet.
Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.
Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Information
WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels. NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing. See Diagnosis Guide, page 16.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The environmental specification for temperature is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-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.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) 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.

Important Operation Instructions
NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.
Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage treadmill components.
Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury.
NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. FUEL treadmills start with at a very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.
Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.). Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact your FUEL dealer.
Safety Tether Cord
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.
To Use:
1.Place the magnet into position on the console control head. Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.
2.Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.

Assembly Instructions (FT96)
!!ATTENTION: IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL!!
Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.
There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed. To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.
