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 be used only by persons
weighing 250 pounds or less.

8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
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 10),
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 10. 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 BE­FORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 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.

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

17. 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.

18. Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster
than walking speeds. Using weights and not
holding the handrails may compromise your
ability to maintain your balance. Exercises
using weights should be attempted only by
experienced users.

19. 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.

20. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 13.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

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 ,
adjustable wrench , wire cutters , and needlenose pliers .

For help identifying the assembly hardware, refer to the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART below. Note: The
assembly hardware and other small parts are packaged in separate part bags. Do not open the part bags
until instructed to do so.

1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.

With the help of a second person, carefully tip the tread­mill onto its left side as shown. Partially fold the Frame
(86) so that the treadmill is more stable. Do not fully

fold the treadmill until it is completely assembled.

Open part bag A.

Attach four Base Pads (57) to the bot­tom of the Base (69) with four 1” Tek Screws (37) (three
are shown).

Attach a Wheel (66) to the inner side of the Base (69) with
a Wheel Bolt (64) and a Nut (13) as shown.

Do not over-

tighten the Nut. The Wheel should be able to spin freely.
