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 300 pounds or less.

8. Never allow more than one person on the

wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

When connecting the power cord (see page

10.

9), 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

o reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call the toll­free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.

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, accelerate, 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 TROU­BLESHOOTING on page 19 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)

15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11).

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

Always wear athletic

sudden jumps in speed.

18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

19. Use the included dumbbells only as de­scribed in this manual. Properly store the
dumbbells in the dumbbell holders on the
console when you are not using them. If the
dumbbells are improperly stored, they may
fall off the console, causing the user to trip.

20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir­cuit breaker to the off position when the
treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on

age 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)

p

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 high-performance lubri-

ant. During shipping, lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or to the shipping carton. This is

c
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 .

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 on pages 22 and 23. The number after the parentheses shows
the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is preattached to one of
the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

T

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high­performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call the toll-free
telephone number on the front cover of this man­ual and order part number 146148, or see your local
electronics store.

ric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

t
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.

Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus­trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

Surge Suppressor

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup­pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni­toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. 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.
