IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: T

structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON 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 this 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 put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

o reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-

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.

12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that meets all of the specifications described
on page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor,
see your local GOLD’S GYM dealer or call the
telephone number on the front cover of this
manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.

13. 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.

14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.

6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.

8. The treadmill should be used only by per­sons weighing 350 lbs. (160 kg) or less.

9. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.

10. 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.

11. When connecting the power cord (see page

11), plug the power cord into a surge sup­pressor (not included) and plug the surge

15. 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.)

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13).

17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

19. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

T

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high­performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

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.

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, see
your local GOLD’S GYM dealer or call the tele­phone number on the front cover of this manual
and order part number 146148, or see your local
electronics store.

ric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

t
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
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.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
