basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all
instructions before using this Horizon Fitness Treadmill

WARNING !

Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding
instructions.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If a treadmill should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk
of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for use on a nominal 220-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated
below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet 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.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION !

There are several areas during the assembly process of a Horizon Fitness treadmill
that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly
instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly
instructions are not followed correctly, the treadmill could have frame parts that are
not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. There should be
no side-to-side play in the console masts or any forward and back play in the
console assembly or handlebars. If there is any play in these areas, the treadmill has
not been properly assembled. To prevent damage to the treadmill, the assembly
instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.

6

16

TARGET ZONE

Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary
for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal
fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target
Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the
chart below for convenient reference.

EXAMPLE:

for a 42-year old user: find age
along the bottom of the chart
(round to 40), follow age column up
to the target zone bar. results: 60%
of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats
Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart
Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

HEART RATE HANDLEBARS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must
grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the pulse handlebars, do
not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a
loose, cupping hold. It is recommended that you hold the grip pulse handlebars only
long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an
erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.

Target Zone Chart

Horizon Fitness treadmills are designed to be reliable and easy to use. However, if
you experience a problem, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below.

PROBLEM: The console does not light up.

SOLUTION: Verify that the power cord is plugged in properly to the outlet, and

that the treadmill switch is turned on.

PROBLEM: The treadmill circuit breaker trips during a workout.

SOLUTION: Verify that the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20amp circuit.

NOTE: no extension cord.

PROBLEM: The treadmill shuts off when elevating

SOLUTION: Verify that there is enough slack in the power cord to reach to the wall

outlet during elevation.

PROBLEM: The running belt does not stay centered during a workout.

SOLUTION: Verify that the treadmill is on a level surface. Verify that the belt is

properly tightened (refer to Centering The Belt.)

PROBLEM: The treadmill makes a clicking noise towards the front of the machine
while walking or running on it.

SOLUTION: For optimum use, the treadmill needs to be level. Refer to the section

on leveling your treadmill.

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent
lights, computers, or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause
erratic heart rate readouts.

You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:

• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure
while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR TREADMILL

17

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING

18

• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding
the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving
erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long
enough to monitor your heart rate.

• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.

• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.

• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms
by rubbing them together to warm.

• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.

• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.

• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.

PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading.

SOLUTION: If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connection

between the electrodes and the skin. Remoisten the electrodes with water.

SOLUTION: The chest strap may not be positioned properly. Reposition the chest

strap. It may be necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap.

SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the console is not

beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.

SOLUTION: The battery in the chest strap may be dead. Take the chest strap to a

jewelry store or return to Horizon Fitness for a battery replacement.

PROBLEM: Erratic or inconsistent readout.

SOLUTION: This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. Moisture

on the rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous
coating of water on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap.

If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the

problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.

Please consult your local dealer for further assistance.

ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL?

All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the
rollers, especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may
not totally go away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride
smoother over the rollers.

WHY IS THE TREADMILL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN
THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is
generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less
reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes
a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness
product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE?

As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder that a normal
conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your treadmill is louder
than this, Please contact your local dealer for further assistance.

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so lubrication is not needed. The
most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the
treadmill after each use.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS TREADMILL?

Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

19

MAINTENANCE

TENSIONING THE BELT

If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt
must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt
to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension
both the rear roller bolts with the
appropriate size allen wrench, turning
it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try
the treadmill again to check for
slipping. Repeat if necessary, but
NEVER TURN the roller bolts more
than 1/4 turn at a time. the belt
tension is set properly when the
running belt is 1/4 of an inch from
the deck.

CENTERING THE BELT

If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the supplied Allen wrench to turn
the right tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered
during use.

If the running belt is too far to the left side, turn the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4
turn at a time until the belt remains centered during use.

IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT SIDE:

• Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten).

IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO
THE RIGHT SIDE:

• Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn

clockwise (tighten).

20

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Cleanliness of your Horizon Fitness treadmill and its operating environment will keep
maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness
recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.

AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)

Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, and unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet.

WARNING!

To remove power from the treadmill, the power cord must be disconnected from the
wall outlet.

• Wipe down the running belt, deck, motor cover, and console casing with a damp

cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the treadmill.

• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Horizon Fitness.

• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill or in any other area where it

can become pinched or cut.

• Check the tension and alignment of the running belt. Make sure that the treadmill belt

will not damage any other components on the treadmill by being misaligned.

EVERY WEEK

Clean underneath the treadmill, following these steps:

• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall

out let.

• Fold the treadmill into the upright position, making sure that the lock latch is secure.

• Move the treadmill to a remote location.

• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated unde

neath the treadmill.

• Return the treadmill to its previous position.

EVERY MONTH

• Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness.

EVERY YEAR

• It may be necessary to rewax your treadmill running deck and belt once a year to

main tain optimal performance of your treadmill. Please contact your local dealer
with ques tions about applying wax to your treadmill. Warning! Only use paraffin
wax provided by Horizon Fitness!

• Lubricate the air shocks with teflon based spray.

21

Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.

HOW OFTEN?

The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days
per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight
or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether
it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a
lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set
aside a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning
before your shower, during lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s
more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time
when you won’t be interrupted. If you are to be successful with your fitness
program, you have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out
your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!

HOW LONG?

For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24
and 32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise
times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep
your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to
adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at
lower intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes
or more is recommended for best weight loss results.

HOW HARD?

How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon
Fitness Treadmill to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher
intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals,
always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to
be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity.
The first is by monitoring your heart rate, and the second is by evaluating your
perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).

PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL

The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your
perceived exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a
conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb
is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your
breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of
overexertion.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

22

STRETCH FIRST

Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a
few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility
and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with
a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce
while doing these stretches.

WALL PUSH

Stand near a wall with the toes of one foot about 18" from the wall, and the other
foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with
your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds.
Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Alternate positions of your feet
and repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.

STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH

Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold
your foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 15 seconds. Repeat with your
right ankle and hand, and continue alternating for a total of 8 repetitions.

SEATED TOE TOUCH

Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock
your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a count of 15
seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit upright again.
Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.

WARM UP

The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm­up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make
sure that you warm-up on your Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace.

COOL DOWN

Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart to readjust to
the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very
slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the
stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your muscles.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM

THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN

23

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your
goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness Treadmill to lose
weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise
program. Below are some common exercise goals:

If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then
put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track
your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and weekly
segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits.
Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Horizon Fitness Treadmill console
provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You
can track Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test
functions.

KEEPING AN EXERCISE DAIRY

Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your
personal exercise log book. As time goes by you’ll be able to look back with pride at
the work you’ve done. As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far
you’ve come.
