Note: An EXPLODED DRAWING is attached in the center of this manual.

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 manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least 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.

8. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise 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.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 8), 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 is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating

of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

13. 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.)

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

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

16. 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.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 15.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

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

20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

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.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

21. When using i-Fit.com CDÕs and videos, an electronic ÒchirpingÓ sound will alert you when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change. Always listen for the ÒchirpÓ 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.

22. When using i-Fit.com CDÕs and videos, you can manually override the speed and incline settings at any time by pressing the speed and incline buttons. However, when the next ÒchirpÓ is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD or video program.

23. Always remove i-Fit.com CDÕs and videos from your CD player or VCR when you are not using them.

24. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly.

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

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. 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.

27. This treadmill is intended for in-home use only. Do not use this treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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. SEARS assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (103) into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so the Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs (103) are resting flat on the floor.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench and your own phillips screwdriver .

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.

2. Refer to HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE on page 15. Follow the instructions in step 2 to lower the treadmill.

Hold the latch spacer and the latch support together as shown. Attach the latch spacer and the latch support to the center hole in the left Upright (82) with a 3/4Ó Screw (89). Make sure that the Screw is tight, but do not

overtighten it; if the Screw is overtightened, the latch will not slide smoothly.

Be careful to hold the parts together. Inset drawing A

shows how the Latch Assembly fits together. Inset drawing B shows how the springs fit into the bracket. Make sure that the tabs on the latch are touching the bracket and that the back end of the latch is flush with the bracket.

Attach the Latch Assembly (77) to the left Upright (82) with two 3/4Ó Screws (89).

5. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 17). To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) down as shown. Make sure that the

Extension Legs (103) remain in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (103) with two Short Screws (101) as shown.

Next, tighten a Handrail Bolt (78) with a Handrail Washer (96) into each Extension Leg (103) and Handrail (85) as shown. Note: It may be necessary to move the Handrails up or down to align the Handrails with the holes in the Extension Legs.

With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) back to the upright position.

pivot the Handrail to the side and back repeatedly (see arrow A) while pushing on the Handrail (see arrow B) to slide it fully into the Upright. Next, pivot the lower end of the Handrail down, push it toward the right Upright, and then align it with the indicated hole.
