sult your physician. This is especially impor-

tant for persons over the age of 35 or persons

that all users of this treadmill are adequately

informed of all warnings and precautions.

3. Use the treadmill only as described.

4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at

least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2

ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the

treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-

ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-

age, place a mat under the treadmill.

5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

garage or covered patio, or near water.

6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or where oxygen is being

administered.

7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

8. The treadmill should be used only by persons

weighing 350 lbs. (159 kg) or less.

9. Never allow more than one person on the

that could become caught in the treadmill.

Athletic support clothes are recommended

for both men and women. Always wear ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare

feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

11. When connecting the power cord (see page

11), plug the power cord into a surge sup-

pressor (not included) and plug the surge

suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of

carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance

should be on the same circuit. Do not use an

extension cord.

12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

meets all of the specifications described on

page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor call

the telephone number on the front cover of

this manual.

13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge

suppressor could result in damage to the con-

trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-

tem is damaged, the walking belt may slow,

accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may

result in a fall and serious injury.

14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor 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 TROU-

BLESHOOTING on page 22 if the treadmill is

not working properly.)

16. Read, understand, and test the emergency

stop procedure before using the treadmill (see

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13).

17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrails while using the treadmill.

18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

sudden jumps in speed.

19. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-

structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as-

sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of

this product.

ASSEMBLY

ssembly 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. 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 perfor-

ance. 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.

Assembly requires the included hex key and your own Phillips screwdriver . For help iden-

tifying the assembly hardware, see the drawings below. The number in parentheses below each drawing is

the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number following the parenthe-

ses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been preassembled. If a part is not

in the hardware kit, check to see if it has been preassembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use

power tools for assembly.
