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 where oxygen is administered.
6. Keep children and pets away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. 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.
10.Always wear athletic shoes when using the
treadmill—never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
For maximum walking belt life, never use
shoes with heavy treads.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
7), plug the power cord into a surge protector
(not included) and plug the surge protector
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be
on the same circuit.
12. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.
14. 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 4 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt.
16. Always hold the handrails when you are
running on the treadmill. When you are walking on the treadmill, hold the handrails or use
the included wrist weights.
17. Do not perform advanced exercises with
weights at speeds higher than a walk. Using
weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Advanced exercises using weights
should be attempted only by experienced users.
18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
19. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill overheating, do not operate the treadmill continuously for longer than one hour.
20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key and move
the on/off switch to the “off” position when
the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on
page 4 for the location of the on/off switch.)
21. Never insert any object into any opening.
22. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on pages 5 and 6, and HOW TO
MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 16.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg)
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
23. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
24. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.
25. Always unplug the power cord before
performing the maintenance and adjustment
procedures described in this manual. Never
remove the belly pan 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.
26. 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.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do
not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires only a phillips
screwdriver and wire cutters (not included).
1. Using wire cutters, cut the cable tie from each upright.
Attach the Storage Latch (41) to the left upright with the
two Latch Screws (12). Make sure that the ribs of the
Storage Latch interlock with the ribs of the Storage
Latch Catch (40). If necessary, slide the Latch forward
or backward slightly. Firmly tighten the Latch Screws.
2. With the help of a second person, carefully lay the
treadmill on its right side as shown. (Do not lay the treadmill on its left side or the Storage Latch attached in step 1
may be damaged.) Attach five Base Pads (109) to the
bottom of the Base (81) in the indicated locations. Note:
One additional Base Pad may be included.
3. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position. Hold the upper end of
the treadmill with your right hand as shown. Using your
left hand, pull the Storage Latch (41) outward. Pivot the
treadmill until the Storage Latch is out of the Catch (40).
4 Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the
treadmill to the floor. To decrease the possibility of in-
jury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. They 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 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
protector (not included) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
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
protector, and plug the surge protector 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 protector 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 product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
