Note: A PART IDENTIFICATION CHART, an EXPLODED DRAWING, and a PART LIST are attached in the
center of this manual.
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 not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds.
8. Never allow more than one person on the

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 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
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See page 4
if the treadmill is not working properly.)
15. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

opening.
23.

maintenance and adjustment procedures
described in this manual. Never remove the

authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service representative only.

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 ,
rubber mallet , wire cutters , adjustable wrench , and needlenose
pliers .
To identify small parts during assembly, use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART in the center of this manual.
2. With the help of a second person, tip the treadmill down
to the position shown.
Attach a Wheel (42) to each side of the Base (38) with a
Wheel Bolt (41) and a Wheel Nut (61) as shown.
Refer to the inset drawing. Clip two U-nuts (10) over the
two round holes in each of the Uprights (14, 15) as
shown.
Identify the Right Upright (15) and the Left Upright (14)
(there is a large hole in the side of the Left Upright).
While a second person holds the Right Upright near the
Wire Harness (53), insert the end of the Wire Harness
into the lower end of the Right Upright and out of the
hole near the upper end as shown. If there are plastic
ties in the lower ends of the Uprights, remove them.
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
With the help of a second person, carefully tip the
treadmill onto one side. Partially fold the Frame (84) so
