this product.

1. Before beginning any exercise program, con­sult your physician. This is especially impor­tant for persons over age 35 or persons with

your local PROFORM dealer or call the tele­phone number on the front cover of this man­ual and order part number 146148, or see your
local electronics store.

13. 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 slow,
accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may
result in a fall and serious injury.

14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

15. 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

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

19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir­cuit breaker to the off position when the

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

elt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, some lubricant may be transferred to the top of

b
the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is normal 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 hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver ,
adjustable wrench , needlenose pliers , and scissors .

Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preattached

to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assem­bly. Extra hardware may be included.
