SAVE THESE INST R UCTI O NS

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

WARN I N G !

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

GROU N D ING I NSTR U C TION S

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.

DANG E R !

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.

I M P O R T A N T S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

This product is for use on a nominal 220-volt or 240-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.

your treadmill has been exposed to colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it
is strongly recommended that the treadmil is warmed up to room temperature
before first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

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.

7

MOVI N G

Your Horizon Fitness treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built into the base
frame. To move, make sure the treadmill is folded and securely latched. Then firmly
grasp the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll. CAUTION ! Our Treadmills are
heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Do not attempt to
move or transport treadmill unless it is in an upright, folded position with the lock
latch secured. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

FOOT LOCK-LATCH

FOLD I NG

Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the treadmill
deck to the upright position until the foot lock latch engages and securely locks the
deck into position. Make sure the deck is securely latched before letting go. To
unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Gently press down on the foot
lock latch with your foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to
the ground. NOTE: on some models the foot lock latch might be on the right hand
side. NOTE: when folding the Horizon Fitness Treadmill the console assembly will tilt
away from you, but will return when fully folded in the upright position. Please
allow two additional feet from wall when folding.

LEVE L ING

The treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the treadmill
where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located on the
treadmill base frame. Once you have leveled the treadmill, lock the levelers in place
by tightening the nuts against the frame. To assure the treadmill is level, a
carpenter's level is recommended.

TURN POWER ON

Make sure that your treadmill is properly connected to a power outlet. The on/off
switch is located next to the power cord. Flip this switch to the 'on' position, so that
the switch is lit. You will hear a beep and the console will light up.

SAFE T Y KEY

Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed on the safety key holder.
Attach the clip end securely to your clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the
power to the treadmill if you should fall. NEVER USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT

SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR CLOTHING. PULL ON THE SAFETY
KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT COME OFF

YOUR CLOTHING.

DO N O T STA ND ON THE B ELT

While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt. Place your
feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start walking on the belt only
after the belt has begun to move. Never start the treadmill at a fast running speed
and attempt to jump on!
