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
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 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.

CAUTION!
If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician before continuing.
• Do not wear clothing that might catch on any part of the Treadmill.
• Read this Owner’s Guide before operating this Treadmill.
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.

CAUTION:
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN. 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.
Before proceeding, find your treadmill’s serial number and model name located to the left of
the on/off power switch and power cord and enter
it in the space provided below:
SERIAL NUMBER AND MODEL NAME LOCATION:
ENTER YOUR SERIAL NUMBER IN BOX BELOW:
Refer to this number when calling for service, and also enter this serial number on your
Warranty Card and in your own records. Be sure to read the Safety Instructions and complete
Owner’s Guide before using your new treadmill.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION
Your warranty card must be completed and sent to Horizon Fitness within thirty days of purchase or registered online at www.horizonfitness.com, before a warranty claim can be processed. Please keep receipt
with owner’s guide as it may be required for a warranty claim. Make sure to send in warranty registration
card to validate your warranty.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your 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:
• Weight Loss • Weight Maintenance
• Improve Body Shape and Tone • Strengthen Leg Muscles
• Increased Energy Level • Improved Sleep Patterns
• Improved Sports Performance • Stress Reduction
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
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 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.
