Note: A PART LIST and an EXPLODED DRAWING are attached in the centre of this manual. Remove the PART
LIST and EXPLODED DRAWING before beginning assembly.

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 8
feet (2 m) of clearance behind it. Do not place
the treadmill on a surface that blocks any 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 (115 kg).

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 recom-

mended 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 HOW
TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7),
plug the power cord into an earthed circuit.
No other appliance should be on the same
circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA
approved BS1362 type should be fitted to the
fuse carrier; a 13 amp fuse should be used.

11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 14­gauge cord of 5 feet (1,5 m) or less in length.

12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur­faces.

13. Never move the walking belt whilst 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 4 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

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

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

16. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill
continuously for longer than one hour.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key when the
treadmill is not in use.

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

THE TREADMILL on page 10.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.

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

20. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch (3 mm)
from the rear roller (see the drawing on page

4). Unplug the power cord and adjust the
roller guards, if necessary.

21. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.

22. Never insert any object into any opening.

23. Do not attempt to modify the incline of the
treadmill by placing objects under the front
or rear of the treadmill.

24. Always unplug the power cord before per­forming the maintenance and adjustment
procedures described in this manual. Never
remove the motor hood unless instructed to
do so by an authorised service representa­tive. Servicing other than the procedures in
this manual should be performed by an
authorised service representative only.

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

press it onto the warning decal so that it
covers the English text.

IMPORTANT: If the warning decal is miss­ing, or if it is not legible, please call our

less than half the floor space of other treadmills.

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
using the treadmill. If you have additional questions,

please call our Customer Service Department at

0345-089009. To help us assist you, please note the
