OTHER SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR 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 20 amp circuit, without
the use of an additional extension cord and/or power strip. Failure to comply may void
the warranty.
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.
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 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.
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.

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!
