Note: An EXPLODED DRAWING and a PART LIST are attached in the centre of this manual. Save the
EXPLODED DRAWING and PART LIST for future reference.

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 two
meters 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. When choosing a location for the treadmill,
make sure that the location and position per­mit access to a plug.

7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.

8. The treadmill should be used only by persons

weighing 115 kgs or less. 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 recommended 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 page

7), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit.
When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved
BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse car­rier. A 13 amp fuse should be used. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit.

longer than 1.5 meters.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

3

BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 4 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

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

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

16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including your movement,
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
The sensor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key and unplug
the power cord when the treadmill is not in
use.

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

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on pages 5 and 6, and HOW TO
MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 11.) You

must be able to safely lift 20 kg to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.

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

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

21. Never drop or insert any object into any

opening.

22.

DANGER:Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and 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.

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

damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

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 . If you have additional questions, please call our
Customer Service Department at 0345-089009.

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.
