IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
A
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. 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 mois-
ture 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.
pation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor
must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and
15 amps. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-999-
3756 and order part number 146148.
12.
Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
13.
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 tread-
mill is not working properly.)
14.
Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
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 cloth-
ing 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 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.
15.
The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
16.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the users move-
ment, 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.
17.
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 loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
18.
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 21.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in
order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
11.
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 dissi-
19.
Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETm WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
Before operating the
Key
The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
Note: See page 20 for information about an optional
chest pulse sensor.
Four certified personal trainer programs are also
offered. Each program automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also fea-
tured. Each program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
during your workouts.
