before using this HORIZON FITNESS T readmill
WARNING ! Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. S e e
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 equipment-grounding
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.
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.

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your treadmill, it is strongly recommended that your treadmill is plugged into a dedicated
20amp outlet, without the
use of an additional extension cord.
It is essential that your treadmill is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If 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-toside 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.

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 T readmill 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.
• W eight Loss
• Improve Body Shape and Tone
• Increased Energy Level
• Improved Sports Performance
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
• W eight Maintenance
• Strengthen Leg Muscles
• Improved Sleep Patterns
• Stress Reduction
ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
MOVING
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 upright, folded position with the lock latch secured. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in injury.
FOOT LOCK-LATCH
FOLDING
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.
