I. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be followed. Read all
instructions before using this treadmill.
WARNING!
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect this unit to a
properly grounded
outlet only.
This product must be grounded! If treadmill should malfunction or break down, 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. This plug must be connected to 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 electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service technician 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.
CAUTION!
STOP your workout
immediately if you
feel any pain or
abnormal symptoms
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or injury to persons, take the following
precautions.
DO NOT leave the treadmill unattended at any time when plugged in. Unplug the treadmill
from the power source when it is not in use.

not working properly. DO NOT use damaged or defective equipment. Keep equipment
out of use until unit is repaired by trained technician.
Keep the power cable and plug away from heated surfaces.
NEVER place the power cord under carpeting or have any object on top of the power cord.
ONLY use the power cord provided with this treadmill.
To disconnect, turn the switch to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.

of the exercise equipment, DO NOT use a faulty device.
Replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
Inspect the equipment prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts are fully tightened
before each use.
DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
ONLY one person may use the treadmill at a time.
NEVER activate the speed when someone else is standing on the treadmill.
APPROPRIA TE ATTIRE
Always wear appropriate clothing. DO NOT wear clothing that might catch on any
part of the treadmill.
Always wear non-slippery shoes during workout with the treadmill. DO NOT wear
shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes and remove any dirt and
embedded stones.
CHILDREN AND PETS
Most exercise equipment is not recommended for use by young children.
Children should not use the equipment unless they are under constant adult supervision.

Owner’s Manual 7
II. SETTING UP YOUR TREADMILL:
CAUTION!
Make sure the
running deck is level
to the ground.
If the deck is
positioned on uneven
surface, it would
cause premature
damage to the
electronic system.
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the treadmill should be placed in a
comfortable and convenient setting. This treadmill is designed to use a minimal amount
of floor space and to fit nicely in your home.
z DO NOT place the treadmill outdoors.
z DO NOT place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.
z Make sure power cord is not in the path of heavy traffic.
z If your room is carpeted, check the clearance to make sure there is enough space
between the carpet fiber and the treadmill deck. If you are uncertain, it is best to
place a mat beneath your treadmill.
z Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.
z Allow a safety area of 5 feet X 3 feet behind the treadmill so that you can easily get
on and off the treadmill without being trapped during an emergency.
Occasionally after extended use you will find a fine black dust below your treadmill. This is
normal wear and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your treadmill. This dust can
be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this dust from getting on your
floor or carpet, place a mat beneath your treadmill.
LEVELING THE BASE
It is important that you place the treadmill on a firm level surface.
Check the treadmill to ensure the frame is level once you have moved the treadmill into
the position of your choice.
USE DEDICATED CIRCUIT
The outlet selected should be a dedicated circuit. It is particularly important that NO
sensitive electrical equipments, such as computer or TV, share the same circuit.

Owner’s Manual
III. HANDLING YOUR TREADMILL:
FOLDING THE TREADMILL
Folding and unfolding of this treadmill is made easy with the assistance of gas shock. After the
treadmill has come to a complete stop, it is important to make sure the elevation is lowered all
the way to the lowest level before folding the treadmill. The display console will indicate “0%
elevation” in the lower left window when positioned at the lowest level. With caution, fold up the
deck slowly with both hands. Fold the deck vertically upright until you hear a click, then the
folded deck is locked in place. Please note that if you failed to lower the elevation to the lowest
level (0% elevation) then the folding safety lock will not click nor lock in place. Be certain the fold
lock clicks and locks in place,
UNFOLDING THE TREADMILL
Pull out the lock pin on the upright post (L) with your left hand. At the same time, press the
deck slowly with right hand. Use both hands to bring the deck slowly to the ground. As the
deck gets closer to the ground, it will drop at a faster rate and feel heavier. Please handle with
caution.
MOVING THE TREADMILL
This treadmill is easy to move around safely.
To move the treadmill:
1. Turn power switch off.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Make sure the deck is at 0% grade elevation.
4. Fold the treadmill and make sure lock is engaged. You should hear a click to indicate
positive engagement.
5. Simply roll the treadmill on four wheels to the desired location.
STORING THE TREADMILL
For safety precaution, especially when you have children in the house, we recommend that you
follow these steps to keep the treadmill out of potential harm.
1. Turn off the power switch when you have finished workout.
2. Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
3. Remove the safety tether key and store out of reach of children.
Owner’s Manual 9
IV. OPERATING THE TREADMILL:
TURN POWER ON
WARNING!
NEVER use this
treadmill without first
securing the safety
tether clip to your
clothing.
CAUTION!
For your safety, step
onto the belt when the
speed is no more
than 1.5 MPH or 2.4
Km/H.
NEVER start the
treadmill at a running
speed and attempt to
get on while it is
moving fast.
NOTE!
The deck should NOT
be folded unless the
elevation is at 0%
grade. Attempts to
fold the deck while it
is elevated may
cause damage to the
frame.
The ON/OFF switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the back of the
motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.
SAFETY TETHER KEY AND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall. Therefore, the
safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to a abrupt stop. At high speeds, it may be
uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete stop immediately. So, use the
safety key as emergency stop only. To bring the treadmill to a complete stop safely and
comfortably, use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into the key holder at the
side of the console. The other end of the safety key should be securely clipped to your clothing
so that in case you fall, you will pull the safety key from the console, which will stop the treadmill
immediately to minimize injury. For your safety, never use the treadmill without securing the
safety key clipped to your clothing. Pull on the safety key clip to make sure it will not come off
your clothing.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while getting
on or off safely. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the running belt.
Straddle the running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the treadmill deck. Place
your foot on the belt only after the belt has begun to move at a consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing forward at all times. Never attempt to turn
around on the treadmill when the running belt is still moving. When you have finished
exercising, stop the treadmill by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the treadmill comes to
a complete stop before attempting to get off the treadmill
If you feel uneasy with the speed and are not sure how to stop, hold the handlebars, lift your feet
off the running belt and place on both sides of the side landing. The side landing is a
non-moving platform and would be a good place to rest before resuming the workout. Always
remember to start at a low speed for your safety and comfort.

SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
A single press of FAST and SLOW buttons will adjust speed by increments of 0.1 MPH (or Km/H)
during workout…or you may press and hold these buttons to quickly scroll up or down.
ELEV ATION ADJUSTMENTS
For safety reasons, the elevation level is designed to be manually adjusted for most applications.
The treadmill will only automatically adjust elevation during one of the following three programs:
P2 = elevation program, H-SE = HRC by speed and elevation, and H-E = HRC by elevation. You
will find more details in the “Preset Programs” section beginning on page 15.
Elevation may be manually adjusted even while the running belt is not moving, however, during
the program setup mode, elevation will not be adjustable.
PULSE FUNCTION
This treadmill features wireless heart rate monitoring, the most advanced technology to date for
accurate read out of your heart rate. For convenience, this treadmill is also designed to pick
up heart rate info via the contact sensors located on the horizontal handlebar. Treadmill will
look for wireless pulse signal first. If no wireless pulse signal is present, then treadmill will look
for the signal from contact sensors.
To use the wireless pulse monitoring system, you must wear the heart rate transmitter chest
strap. Place the contact surface next to your skin directly under your heart to pick up the pulse
signals from your heart. The heart rate transmitter strap is an optional purchase and not
included with this treadmill.
To use the contact heart rate, place your hands gently but firmly around the contact sensors on
the handlebars. Movements in the hands may cause difficulty for the treadmill to pick up the
signal properly. When signal is picked up, the LED light next to the pulse display window will
light up and flash to the rate of your heart beat.
Please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity
which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Also, note that mobile phone, television
and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around them, which may also
cause problems in heart rate measurement.
PAUSE FUNCTION
When STOP button is pressed during workout, the program is suspended. After the running
belt has come to a complete stop, display will count down from 03:00. During pause mode,
