iMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARN ING: Toreducetheriskofburns,fire,eJectdcshock,or injury topersons,readthe
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
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.
.
Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
Jeast eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. 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 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 alatimes.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 pounds.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cJothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
AthJetic support cJothes are recommended for
both men and women. A/ways wear athletic
shoes.Never use the treadmi//withbare feet,
wearing only stockings,orinsandals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 14),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(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.
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 14. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-
free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.
12. 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 change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor 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
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 29 if the tread-
mill is not working properly.)
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 16).
16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing 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 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
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6 for
the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)
20. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmiJl until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 7, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 27.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to
raise, Jower, or move the treadmill.

21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
22. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the frame is held securely by the pin
on the latch knob.
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or cir-
cuits. When installing an outside antenna sys=
tern, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmiU regularly.
24. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
2s.DANGER: Alwaysunplugthepower
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any commer=
cial, rental, or institutional setting.
27. If an outside antenna or cable system is con=
nected, be sure that the antenna or cable sys-
tem is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built=up static
charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an=
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding con=
ductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode.
28. An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
29. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not re-
move the cover or the back of the television.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
30. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the treadmill or the television, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to con-
firm that the unit is in proper operating con-
dition.
Use No. 10 AWG (5.3ram 2)copper, No. 8
AWG (8.4ram 2)aluminum, No. 17 AWG
(1.0ram 2)copper-clad steel or bronze wire,
or larger as a ground wire.
Secure an antenna lead-in and ground wires
to the house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83m)
apart.
Mount an antenna discharge unit as close
as possible to where the lead-in enters the
house.
Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6
AWG (13.3mm 2)copper, or the equivalent
when a separate antenna-grounding elec-
trode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).
Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system instailer's at=
tention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu-
lar, specifies that the cable ground shah be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical

ASSEMBLY
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.
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.
Assembly requires the included hex key _ and your own phillips screwdriver _ , rubber
mallet _ and adjustable wrench __. For help identifying the assembly hardware, see
the drawings below. The number in parentheses below each drawing isthe key number of the part, from the
PART LIST on pages 34 and 35. The number following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly.
Note: Some small parts may have been preassembled. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has
been preassembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly. Extra hard=
ware may be included.
