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: If a part needed for assembly is not in the
parts bag, first check to see if ithas been pre-assembled. If a part is missing, call toll-free 1-800-999-3756.

Assembly requires your own Phillips screwdriver (_ and rubber mallet c:::_.

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.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position as shown. If there are

plastic ties on the pulse sensors, remove them.

Insert one of the Extension Legs (55) intothe treadmill as

shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so
the Base Pad (44) is on the bottom. If necessary, tip the
Uprights (64) forward as you insert the Extension Leg.

Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same
way.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
Uprights (64) as shown. Note: It may be helpful to place
your foot on one of the Wheels (58) as you tip the
Uprights. Make sure that the Extension Legs (55) re-

main in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (55) with an Extension Screw
(35), a 1" Screw (13), and a Base Pad (44) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (44) may be included.
if a Base Pad becomes worn and needs to be replaced,

use the replacement Base Pad.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING 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 plat-

form. 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.

_,,_ o,.,_, oF,,.O._, Qn.. , _ iRt0rforence can

result from weather conditions or from other appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see

drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local Sears or call 1-809-366-
7278 and order part number 146148.

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

GFCl-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated 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 propedy

grounded outlet is not available.

Grounding Piu,

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (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. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could

result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the

walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

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 elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.
