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 change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.

14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.

6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

page 5 for the location of the circuit
breaker.)

21. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call toll-free 1-800-445-2480. Assembly
requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove the packing materials; do not dispose of the
packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with

shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top
of the walking belt, wipe it off with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver , rubber
mallet , adjustable wrench , and wire cutters .

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 the manual. The number after the parentheses
