IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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.
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.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 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 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 be used only by persons
weighing 300 pounds or less.
8. Never allow more than one person on the

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
meets all of the specifications described on
page 8. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-8063651 and order part number 146148.
12. 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 unexpectedly, which may result
in a fall and serious injury.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.
14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if

is not in use. (See the drawing on page 4 for
the location of the circuit breaker.)
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 5, and HOW TO FOLD

prepared for speed changes. In some instances, the speed may change before the
personal trainer describes the change.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you
can manually override the speed setting at
any time by pressing the speed buttons.
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the
speed will change to the next setting for the
CD or video program.
22. Remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your
CD player or VCR when you are not using
them.

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 allen wrenches and your own phillips screwdriver
and wire cutters .
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
To identify small parts, use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 27.
With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Upright Base (97) to the position shown. Insert one of
the Extension Legs (92) into the Upright Base. (Note: It
may be helpful to tip the Upright Base forward as you insert the Extension Leg.) Make sure that the Warning
Decal (91) is in the indicated location.
Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same
way.

as you tip the Uprights.)
Legs remain in the Uprights.
Attach each Extension Leg (92) with two Extension Leg
Bolts (96) and two 1/4” Washers (39) as shown. Thread
a Leveling Foot (95) into each side of the Upright Base
(97); do not thread the Leveling Feet fully into the
Upright Base.
Attach the two Base Pads (99) to the Upright Base (97)
in the locations shown with two 1” Tek Screws (40).

the Upright Bolts two to three turns.
See drawing 4c. With the help of a second person, hold
the Console Base (101) near the Uprights (80, 84). Look
under the Console Base and locate the wires on the
sides of the Console Base. Make sure that the wires are
not routed through the openings for the Trays (109,
111). Drawing 4a shows the correct route for the wires;
drawing 4b shows an incorrect route.
See drawing 4c. Cut the plastic ties holding the Wire

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.
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

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651

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.

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

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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 20).
In addition, the console offers six preset workout programs. Each program automatically controls the speed
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an
effective workout. Two pulse programs are also offered.
Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a target range while you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the built-in CD player,
you can play special iFIT.com CD programs. IFIT.com
CD programs automatically control the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation.
