IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 treadmill is warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause
premature electronic failure.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your treadmill, it
is strongly recommended that your treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20
amp circuit, without the use of an additional extension cord and/or power
strip. Failure to comply may void the warranty.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or injury to persons:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this treadmill. When using an electrical product, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this treadmill. It
is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of
all warnings and precautions. If you have any questions after reading this manual, contact Customer
Tech Support at the number listed on the back panel of this manual.
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 speed 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.
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 110-volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration
below. This product must be used on a dedicated
circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit,
shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any
other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a
different circuit. Note: There are usually multiple
outlets on one circuit. It is recommended that the
treadmill be used with a 20 amp circuit for optimal
performance.

ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: READ THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
During the assembly process of the treadmill there are several areas 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.
UNPACKING
Place the treadmill carton on a level flat surface. It is recommended that you place a protective
covering on your floor. Take CAUTION when handling and transporting this unit. Never open box when
it is on its side. Once the banding straps have been removed, do not lift or transport this unit unless
it is fully assembled and in the upright folded position, with the lock latch secure. Unpack the unit
where it will be used. The enclosed treadmill is equipped with high-pressure shocks and may spring
open if mishandled. Never grab hold of any portion of the incline frame and attempt to lift or move the
treadmill. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY!
