WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with eight feet of clearance behind it. 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.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or oxygen is administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow more than one person at a time on the tread­mill.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom­mended for both men and women.
9. Always wear athletic shoes when using the
treadmillÑnever use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
For maximum walking belt life, never use shoes with heavy treads.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page
9), 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.
11. 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.
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.
13. 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 BE­FORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt.
15. Always hold the handrails when walking or running on the treadmill.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds; ad­just the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca­tion of the on/off switch.)
18. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
19. When operating the treadmill, keep hands and feet from underneath the treadmill.
20. You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully engaged.
22. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.

23. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning the treadmill, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures de­scribed in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an authorized ser­vice representative only.
24. The treadmill is intended for in-home use only. Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using. SEARS assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The decals shown at the right and below have been placed on your treadmill. If a decal is missing, or if it is not legi­ble, please call our toll-free HELPLINE to order a free re­placement decal (see the back cover of this manual). Apply the decal in the location shown.
IMPORTANT: Incline must be set at lowest level before folding treadmill into storage position.

SETTING UP THE TREADMILL
Set-up requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is set up. No tools are required.
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a 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.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (82) until the Front Wheels (77) are resting on the floor as shown.
2. Remove the paper backing from the Wrench Clip (71). Press the Wrench Clip onto the Frame (92) in the indi­cated location. Press the Allen Wrench (72) into the Wrench Clip. Note: The use of the Allen Wrench is described on pages 16 and 17.

3. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the treadmill to protect the floor or carpet. For your benefit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the ÒTROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCEÓ section on pages 16 and 17 before using the treadmill.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone 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
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs 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).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. 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.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc­tion or break down, 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. 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.
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.
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.
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 productÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
