OWNER’S MANUAL
CONGRATULATIONS!
By incorporating a treadmill desk into your daily work life you are about to join legions of formerly-sedentary workers who have discovered the many health and productivity benets of moving while working. We’re condent that once you experience what it’s like to have greater energy, less pain, increased stamina and heightened concentration - among other signicant benets - you will never want to go back to endless days of just sitting in front of a computer.
The iMovR ThermoTread GT is the most advanced oce walking treadmill ever created, designed specically to live in a quiet oce environment, not a noisy gym. It is intended to work together with a stable, height-adjustable desk, at typical walking speeds of 1.0 to 2.0 mph (with a maximum speed of 2.5 mph). Being that walking on a treadmill at slow speeds is much harder on the motor than running on one at high speeds, the gearing ratio of the ThermoTread GT’s drivetrain is optimized for these slow walking speeds, and will outperform all other treadmills in terms of power consumption, noise, and reliability at these low speeds.
Keep in mind that the user’s primary goal should be to spend less time sitting - while gaining some benets from working with a slightly elevated heart rate. Cardio exercise is decidedly not the objective of treadmill desking. As we like to say at iMovR, “if you’re sweating, you must be doing it wrong!” After the rst couple of days of use you will nd the ideal speed for your gait that will feel most comfortable for you, and allow you to type with accuracy. Walking too fast may impede your productivity, so spend some time trying out dierent speeds to nd your “sweet spot” pace. While our digital console tracks distance, speed, step count and calorie burn, our oce tness experts always point out that hours not spent sitting is the key measure of successful treadmill desk usage.

GETTING STARTED
The Ready-Set-Go section of this manual will get you upright and walking in no time, but rst we need to review some important safety information to ensure that your experience is a positive one and that your equipment always performs at peak eciency. The vast majority of treadmill support calls can be attributed to a failure to properly level the treadmill or to keep it properly lubricated and clean. To ensure that your treadmill continues to work trouble-free for many years, and your warranty coverage remains intact, please pay particular attention to the instructions in this manual pertaining to installation and regular maintenance. Please note that failure to follow the instructions in this manual may void your warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions carefully before using this treadmill.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• CAUTION: Never remove any cover without rst disconnecting AC power.
• To reduce the risk of an electrical shock, disconnect your treadmill from the electrical outlet prior to any cleaning, lubrication or service work.
• Never use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the transportation wheels.
• To reduce the risk of burns, re or electric shock, be sure to install your treadmill where it will have good access to a 110-volt, 10-amp grounded outlet, with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it’s a 14 AWG cord, or better – with only one (1) outlet on the end. The outlet must be a three-prong, grounded type. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit to which it is connected.
• Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug.
TREADMILL SITING AND INSTALLATION
• Do not operate treadmill on a deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and the treadmill may occur.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 1m (40”) behind the treadmill and 1/2m (20”) to the left and ride sides of the treadmill. Comply with local re codes for any additional clearance instructions, and never block access to re safety equipment.
• Use a level to make sure that the treadmill is perfectly horizontal, as most oors are slightly uneven. Use the adjustable leveling feet on the treadmill to ensure that all four corners of the unit are solidly on the oor, and no corner is “high sided.” Making sure the treadmill is perfectly horizontal is key to avoiding undue torqueing forces on the frame, which can cause the belt to move out of position, generate squeaks or scraping noises when walking on the belt, reduce the life expectancy of key components, and/or void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disable the grounding plug by using improper adaptors or extension cords, or in any way attempt to modify the cord set. A serious shock or re hazard may result along with electronics malfunctions.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be aected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing/ evaluation.
• Keep all cords away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate in the vicinity of where aerosol products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
• Never expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high-humidity environment.
• The treadmill’s specied environmental operating range is:
• Temperature: 50° to 95° Fahrenheit (10° to 35 °Celsius)
• Maximum Humidity: 80% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces)

OPERATING SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION - ATTENTION
• Wear suitable shoes for use. High heels, sandals, ip-ops or bare-feet are not suitable for use on your treadmill. For prolonged use, quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
• Keep children and animals away from an operating treadmill.
• Keep hands and loose clothing (e.g. scarves, ties) away from all moving parts.
• Never use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Power surges may occur in your household or oce power supply that could damage treadmill components. Unless you have a properly-rated surge protector on the treadmill’s power outlet we recommend unplugging the treadmill during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• The ThermoTread GT is designed as a walking treadmill that will allow the user to perform basic work functions (reading, use of phone, tablet or computer) while walking at a low and comfortable speed. Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill. These distractions may cause you to lose balance, which may result in serious injury.
• Avoid eating or drinking while on the treadmill. Any food, liquid or other substances that may fall onto the treadmill belt should be cleaned up immediately. Nothing other than lubricant should ever enter the space between the belt and the deck. If any foreign material gets in between the belt and the deck, immediately turn o and unplug the treadmill,
loosen the belt (see instructions for Adjusting Tread-Belt Tension) and clean the entire deck area, and the inside of the entire walking belt, using a clean cloth. Once the belt is re­tightened, check the belt alignment and re-lubricate the deck following the instructions for Tread-Belt Lubrication.
• Do not use excessive pressure on the control console buttons. The LCD screen buttons are precision set to function properly with little nger pressure.
• Should you experience static electricity shocks while working at your treadmill desk computer rst check to see that the treadmill, and all electronics that are connected to your workstation (computer, monitor, etc.) are all properly grounded. Especially in cold environments, static charges can build up on the treadmill. One common method of eliminating or reducing static electricity build-up is to place the treadmill on an anti-static treadmill mat (contact iMovR to purchase). If you experience static shocks when touching your computer we recommend using a remote keyboard with a wireless Bluetooth connection in order to break the electrical circuit and prevent possible harm to your computer equipment.
• Never drop or insert any object(s) into any openings.
• To disconnect, turn the treadmill o using the console commands, turn o the ON/OFF “rocker” style switch at the rear of the treadmill, and then remove the plug from the outlet.
THE TREADMILL AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO AN ADJUSTABLE-HEIGHT DESK
• The ThermoTread GT treadmill is specically designed as a walking treadmill for use in an oce or home oce environment, and should ONLY be used in
conjunction with a stable, adjustable-height desk.
• When setting up the treadmill relative to the desk, it is important to combine both safety and ergonomics. Place the treadmill perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the opening of the desk. This is for both safety and comfort. The user should be able to safely lean on the desk with two hands when they feel the need for extra support or to perform some basic working functions such as typing, writing, reading, etc. The 90-degree relationship between treadmill and desk keeps the distance between the user and the desk perfectly balanced for both left and right arms. This spatial balance is important for maintaining proper ergonomics and typing productivity.
• Position the treadmill such that your footfall will generally be in the center of the deck, and as far to the front of the treadmill as possible without having your shoes touch the motor housing, when walking at your normal stride. Experiment with the best walking position relative to safety, ergonomics, and the ability to access the desk area.
• A sticker has been provided (see image below) as a reminder to the user to only use the treadmill in conjunction with an adjustable height desk. Please place this sticker on your desk near the treadmill console.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS
• The ThermoTread GT is a very power-ecient device and should work perfectly well on standard 10A circuits (i.e. any power outlet in the home or oce). A special high-amp circuit is not required as would often be the case with a running treadmill. As long as the ThermoTread GT is the only device on the circuit (recommended), it should never trip a 10A circuit breaker in normal use. Maintaining a proper lubrication schedule is essential to keeping friction at bay and power consumption minimized, extending the useful life of the equipment, and keeping the warranty intact.
• If you nd that your treadmill is tripping a circuit breaker then immediately stop using the treadmill and make sure it is properly cleaned, and lubricated with iMovR-brand, 100% silicone lubricant. If there is a lot of dirt under the belt follow the instructions in this manual for Cleaning The Tread-Belt. Depending on the age of the unit, it may need a new belt and/or walking deck if it continues to trip a 10A circuit breaker. Contact iMovR Customer Care for assistance with obtaining parts and scheduling a service call.
• Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can sometimes occur when using a treadmill. In the highly unusual circumstance that your treadmill is tripping the house/oce circuit breaker but the circuit breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home/oce breaker with a high inrush type. This is not considered a warranty defect. This is, unfortunately, a condition that we as a manufacturer have no ability to control. High inrush circuit breakers are available at most hardware stores.
CONNECTING THE CONSOLE
The console will become operational when you connect the 15-pin plug to the 15-pin socket on the rear of the treadmill. Be sure to tighten up the securing pins for a solid connection.
Once the connections are established and the treadmill is turned on (via the red “rocker” switch in the rear), the console will activate.
Back of Treadmill
Connect Upper Computer Cable (53-4) for the console (53) with 15-PIN Lower Computer Cable (62) from the Main Frame (1) and tighten securely.
Power Cable
Console Cable
SAFETY KEY
A Safety Key with Tether Cord and Clip is provided with this treadmill. Its intent is purely for user safety should you fall or move too far back on the treadmill belt.
First fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing in a secure manner to ensure good holding power, while allowing enough slack in the cord to provide safe and unimpeded walking. Then insert the red safety key into the front of the control console. Your treadmill will NOT start or operate without this. Removing the safety key also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.
Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the safety key is pulled out of the console. Replace the safety key into the slot on the front of the console, and then use the STOP/RESUME/START button to return to normal operation.
