following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

20. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
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.

21. When using iFIT.com CD’s 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
“chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will
change to the next settings of the CD or video
program.

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 and rubber mallet .

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. Remove the Lock Knob (127) from the Lock Pin (132).
Make sure that the Lock Pin Collar (130) and the Spring

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

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. Such substances 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
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).

To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
SEARS dealer or call toll-free 1-800-366-7278 and
order part number 146148. 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.

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 suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

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 suppressor 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 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.
