IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
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 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 elec-
tric 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 120-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 treadmill is warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause
premature electronic failure.
CONGRATULATIONS! on choosing a Horizon Series treadmill.
CAUTION
!
You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program! Your treadmill is
a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your treadmill can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.
Here are just a few of the health benefits of aerobic exercise:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
• Reduced Stress
• Help In Countering Anxiety
and Depression
• An Improved Self Image
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop the exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you
eliminate the obstacles that prevent you from getting in your exercise time. Inclement weather and
darkness won't interfere with your workout when you use your treadmill in the comfort of your home.
This manual provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new machine. A more
complete knowledge of your new treadmill will assist you in realizing your goal of a healthy lifestyle.
CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSI-
CIAN. IF YOU EXPERIENCE CHEST PAINS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
STOP EXERCISING AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE CONTINUING.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE USE!
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION! There are several areas during the assembly process of a 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.

FOLDING
TIPS
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 the T20 model the foot lock latch might be on the right hand side.
FOOT LOCK-LATCH
MOVING
Your 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.
7 HORIZON SERIES 34 HORIZON SERIES
LEVELING
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. NOTE: For the Horizon T20 leveling is not
needed.
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.
SAFETY 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 CLOTH-
ING. PULL ON THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT COME OFF YOUR CLOTHING.
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
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!
