1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
owner’s guide.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet 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 put 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. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow
more than one person on the treadmill at a
time.
8. Wear appropriate clothing when using the
treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing 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.
9. When connecting the power cord (see How to
Plug in the Power Cord on page 7), plug the
power cord into a surge protector (not
included) and plug the surge protector into a
grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit.
10. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.
12. 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 5 if the treadmill
is not working properly.)
13. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold
the handrails while using the treadmill.
14. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
15. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill
continuously for longer than one hour.
16. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. When the treadmill is not in use,
remove the key and press the on/off switch to
the “off” position. (See the drawing on page 5
for the location of the on/off switch.)
17. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
Assembly on page 6, and How to Move the
Treadmill on page 13.) You must be able to
safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.
18. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the frame is held securely by the
storage latch.
19. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.
20. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch from the
rear roller (see the drawing on page 5).
Remove the key and adjust the roller guards,
if necessary.
21. Never insert any object into any opening.

Treadmill Operation
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking
platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
possibility of your
treadmill being
damaged, always use
a surge protector (not
included) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with
a 14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding
provides a path of least
resistance for electric
current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the
surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may
be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, four displays will provide
continuous exercise feedback. In addition, three preset
programs will automatically control the incline of the
treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts.
To use the MANUAL mode, follow the steps on pages 9
and 10. To use the INCLINE programs, see pages 11
and 12.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see Speed Display on page
10). For simplicity, all instructions in this owner’s guide
refer to miles.

CAUTION:Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when
turning on the power or starting the

key is pulled from the console, the walking
belt will stop.
• The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
the console dry. Use only a sealed water
bottle.
Note: If there is a thin
sheet of plastic on the
console, remove it.
