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
eight feet 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.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),
plug the power cord into a surge protector (not
included) and plug the surge protector 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
is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge

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. Refer to the drawings below to identify the parts
used in assembly. Assembly requires the following tools: The included allen wrench and your own

phillips screwdriver and two adjustable wrenches .

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. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (14) until the treadmill is in the position shown.

2. Attach a Wheel (38) to each Extension Leg (62) with a
Wheel Bolt (37) and a Wheel Nut (39) as shown. Tighten

the Wheel Bolts only until they are snug; do not
overtighten the Wheel Bolts.
