2. Use the treadmill only as described.

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 not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

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

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing 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 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 page 9. 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 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.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)

19. 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 15.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.

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 your own Phillips screwdriver and rubber mallet .

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.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side slightly and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (103) into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so the Thick Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs (103) are resting flat on the floor.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the treadmill frame and then tip the Uprights (82) down as shown. Note: It may be helpful to place your foot on the wheel as you tip the Uprights. Make sure that the

Extension Legs (103) remain in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (103) with two Screws (101) and a Base Pad (119) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (119) and Spacer (not shown) may be included. If a Base Pad becomes worn and needs to be replaced, use the replacement Base Pad. If a Thick Base Pad (97) needs to be replaced, use the replacement Base Pad with the Spacer.

Attach the Right Foam Grip (not shown) and the other Handrail Extension (not shown) as described in step 4 and this step.

Note: Extra screws may be included.

4. Insert a Handrail Extension (85) into the post on the left Upright (82). Align the holes in the Handrail Extension with the holes in the post. If necessary, tap the Handrail Extension with a rubber mallet to fully insert it. Next, attach the Handrail Extension by tightening three Small Screws (76) into the indicated holes. Note: If there is only one

hole in the top of the post, tighten the third Small Screw into the hole in the left side of the post.

Identify the Left Foam Grip (110), which has a large cutout in the right side. Slide the Left Foam Grip as far as possible onto the post on the left Upright (82). It may be helpful to apply soapy water to the Handrail Extension (85).

3. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the

Uprights (82) back to the vertical position. Attach the Latch Assembly (9) and the Latch Spacer (56)

to the left Upright (82) with two Screws (101) as shown.

6. Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and raise the treadmill to the storage position as described on page

15. If the latch pin does not align with the hole in the Catch (not shown), it will be necessary to remove the Latch Spacer (56). Remove the two Screws (101), the Latch Assembly (9), and the Latch Spacer. Reattach the Latch Assembly with the two Screws. Make sure that the latch pin engages the Catch.
