I. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

WARNING!

Connect this unit to a properly grounded outlet only.

CAUTION!

STOP your workout

6 immediately if you

feel any pain or abnormal symptoms

When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be followed. Read all instructions before using this treadmill.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

DO NOT use the treadmill if the unit is wet or the plug or cable is damaged or the treadmill is 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.

This exercise equipment is designed and built for optimum safety for the home use. However, certain precautions always apply whenever you operate any exercise equipment. Be sure to read the entire manual before assembly and operation of this machine. Also, please note the following safety precautions.

Owner’s Manual

and consult your

MECHANICAL SAFETY

Before you start exercise, make sure the unit functions correctly. To maintain the safety level 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.

APPROPRIATE 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.

 

To ensure safety, keep young children off the treadmill at all times.

Exercise equipments have many moving parts. In the interest of safety, keep others (especially children and pets) at a safe distance while you exercise.

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.

zDO NOT place the treadmill outdoors.

zDO NOT place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.

zMake sure power cord is not in the path of heavy traffic.

zIf 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.

zLocate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.

zAllow 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.

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.

ELEVATION 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,
