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 in this manual.

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 not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

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

Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes 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.

When connecting the power cord (see page 8),

10. 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 the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread mill is not working properly.)

A from the area shown in drawing 2. Remove all other 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 9/16” wrench .

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. While a second person holds one end of the treadmill, carefully tip the treadmill onto one side as shown. Using the included allen wrench and a 9/16” wrench, attach the two Extension Legs (70) to the base of the Uprights (109) with the four Bolts (71) and Nuts (74). Make sure that the Extension Legs are turned so the Base Pads (66) are in the positions shown.

With the help of a second person, carefully raise the treadmill to the vertical position, and then lower the Walking Platform (93) to the floor. Note: If the treadmill rocks slightly, tip the treadmill back onto one side, loosen the four Nuts (74), adjust the positions of the Extension Legs (70), and then retighten the Nuts. Raise the treadmill back to the vertical position. Repeat until the rocking motion is eliminated.

2. Attach the Storage Latch Assembly (33) and the Latch Spacer (35) to the left Upright (109) with the two 3/4” Screws (67) as shown. Be careful not to overtighten

the Screws.

Thread the Console Latch (55) into the right Upright (109).

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 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 PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
