IMPORTANT

P RECAUTIONS

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.

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 eight feet of clearance behind it and two feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill on a surface that blocks any 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 350 pounds.

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 20 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

13.Do not use an extension cord. Do not modify the power cord or use an adaptor to connect the power cord to an improper receptical.

14.Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.

15.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 BE-

FORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

16.Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

17.The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

18.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.

19.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.

20.Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under it.

21.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.

3

22.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.

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

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

25.Make sure to perform all maintenance procedures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so will void the warranty and may result in damage to the treadmill.

26. DANGER: Always unplug the power cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the treadmill, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures described 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.

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 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 the treadmill.

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.

3.Connect the Right Power Wire Harness (57) in the indicated location. Push all of the excess wire up into the

Right Upright (95). Make sure that the Wire Harness is fully connected.

4.Refer to step 1. While a second person holds the

Uprights (95, 97), remove the two Upright Bolts (96).

Slide the Uprights (95, 97) fully onto the brackets on the

Frame (not shown).		Be careful to avoid pinching your
hands or the wires.		Attach each Upright with four
Upright Bolts (96)	as shown.	Firmly tighten all eight
Upright Bolts.

Firmly tighten the eight Handrail Bolts (99).

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) rest firmly on the floor. If the treadmill rocks even slightly, turn the right Rear Foot clockwise or counterclockwise until the rocking motion is eliminated.

M OVE THE

T READMILL

Before moving the treadmill, make sure that the power cord is unplugged.

Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, mov-

ing 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 malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.
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. Do not use an adapter to connect the plug to an improper receptacle.

Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20 receptacle as shown in drawing 2. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an extension cord.
