1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it. Do not
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly
assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE
TREADMILL on page 7).
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
treadmill.
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
9. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 160 kg (350 lbs.).
10. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into a grounded circuit
capable of carrying 10 or more amps. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.
13. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use.
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under it.
20. When using iFIT.com CDs, you will be alerted
by an electronic “chirping” sound when the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.
In some instances, the speed and/or incline
may change before the personal trainer describes the change.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs, you can manually
override the speed and incline settings at any
time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to
the next settings of the CD program.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the included
allen wrenches.
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brackets near the front of the Frame (76). Make sure that the
Uprights are on the correct sides; the indicated holes
must be facing inward as shown.
Raise the Right Upright (95) until the lower hole in the
front of the Upright is aligned with the upper hole in the
bracket. Thread an Upright Bolt (96) into the Upright and
the bracket. Do not fully tighten the Upright Bolt yet.
Repeat this step with the Left Upright (97).

2. While a second person holds the Handrail (91) near the
Uprights (95, 97), feed the wires in both sides of the
Handrail down into the Uprights. Pull the ends of the
wires out of the lower ends of the Uprights. If there are
wire ties on the ends of the wires, remove them.
Finger tighten eight Handrail Bolts (99) into the Uprights
(95, 97) and the Handrail (91). Do not tighten the
Handrail Bolts yet. Be careful to avoid pinching the
wires.
Note: The CD Holder (86) and the Cup Holder (85) are
replaceable. If these parts become dislodged from the
Console Base (89), simply press them back into place.

6. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen
wrenches for adjustment purposes. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
5. After the treadmill is placed in the location where it will
be used (see HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on
page 9), make sure that both Rear Feet (5) and both
front Wheels (not shown) are resting firmly on the floor.
If the treadmill rocks even slightly, turn the right Rear
Foot clockwise or counterclockwise until the rocking
motion is eliminated.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, make sure that the
power cord is unplugged. Note: It may be neces-
sary to disconnect the CATV cable from the treadmill, depending on how far the treadmill will be
moved.
Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, moving it requires two persons. While one person lifts
the indicated end, firmly hold the handrails and tip
the treadmill forward until it rolls on the front wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location
and then lower it back to the level position. Note: It
may be helpful to change the incline of the treadmill
to 5% before moving the treadmill. CAUTION: To re-
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while
moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the
treadmill over uneven surfaces.

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. Note: These instructions describe
how the power cord should be connected in the
UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, or France. To connect
the power cord in other countries, refer to the instruction sheet accompanying this manual.
This product is for use on a dedicated circuit. In the
UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, or France, use a dedicated 10-amp, 240-volt circuit. No other appliance
should be on the
same circuit. This
product is
equipped with a
cord having an
equipmentgrounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
Plug one end of
the cord into the
treadmill as
shown in drawing
1. Attach the cord bracket over the cord with two
bracket screws.
Next, plug the grounding plug into a receptacle as
shown in drawing 2 at the upper right. Do not modify
the plug or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a
surge protector, or an extension cord.
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
If your treadmill
has the Workout
TV console, a
CATV cable must
be connected to
the treadmill for
cable TV stations
to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the treadmill.
Connect the CATV cable to the cable jack using the
PAL adapter.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the treadmill. Connect a CATV cable
from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually
labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the
front of the treadmill.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill.
RF modulators are not available from FreeMotion
Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the
owner's manual for the equipment you wish to connect
to determine if an RF modulator is needed.
DANGER:Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased 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.
