IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

ollowing important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

f

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
hat all users of the treadmill are adequately

t
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 mois-

ture 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).

13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur­aces.

f

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 stand-

ing 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.

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.

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.

3

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs from your CD
player when you are not using them.

23. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.

24. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce­dures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the treadmill.

25. DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-

enance and adjustment procedures de-

t
scribed in this manual. Servicing other than
the procedures in this manual should be per­formed by an authorized service representa­tive only.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

A
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the included
allen wrenches.

1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brack-

ets 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.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

efore moving the treadmill, make sure that the

B
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

oved.

m

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 TREADMILL

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

his product must be grounded. If it should mal-

T

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.

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.

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 or an
extension cord.
