IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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.
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

shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 8),
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 8. 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

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, unplug
the power cord and move the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 4 for
the location of the circuit breaker.)
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 5, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 21.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed of the treadmill is about to
change. Always listen for the “chirp” and be
prepared for speed changes. In some instances, the speed may change before the
personal trainer describes the change.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you
can manually override the speed setting at
any time by pressing the speed buttons.
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the
speed will change to the next setting for the
CD or video program.
22. Remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your
CD player or VCR when you are not using
them.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.

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
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 on pages 26 and 27. 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.
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (97) to the position shown. Insert one of the
Extension Legs (92) into the right Upright. (Note: It may
be helpful to tip the Uprights forward as you insert the
Extension Leg.) Make sure that the Warning Decal (91)
is in the indicated location.

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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 20).
In addition, the console offers six preset workout programs. Each program automatically controls the speed
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an
effective workout. Two pulse programs are also offered.
Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a target range while you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFIT.com CD and video programs (one iFIT.com CD is
included; additional CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill
as a personal trainer guides you through every step of
your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
