Note: 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 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 7),
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 7. 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.

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.

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. 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.

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

treadmill regularly.

21. Never insert any object into any opening.

22.

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 and wire cutters .

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.

5. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen
wrench in a secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 13). To protect the
floor or carpet, place a mat under the treadmill.

3. Place the Console Base (46) on the tubes on the Uprights
(11). Pull out the two Wires (21) just enough to connect
them to the two connectors in the Console Base. Make a
loop with the indicated plastic tie and insert the end
through the tie holder on the bottom of the Console Base.
Plug the Wire that has a red connector into the corre­sponding connector in the Console Base. The connectors
should fit together without being forced; if they do not, ro­tate the red connector on the Wire and try again. Do not
force the connectors together. Next, plug the other
Wire into the other connector on the Console Base.

Important: Make sure that both Wires are fully in­serted. WARNING: Do not disconnect or connect the
Wires while the treadmill power cord is plugged in. Pull

the plastic tie tight and cut off the end.
Refer to drawing 3b. Thread six Console Screws (88) into

the Uprights (11) and the Console Base (46). After all six
Console Screws have been started, tighten the Screws

until they are snug. Do not overtighten the Screws.
