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

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 the toll­free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual

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 24 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. 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
page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)

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 and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in
cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per­sonal trainer describes the change.

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 hardware used during assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag,
check to see if it has been 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 (72) to the position shown.

Next, orient the Pulse Wire (69) so the slots are in the
position shown in the inset drawing, and orient the con­nector in the Pulse Bar (78) so the ramp is in the posi­tion shown. Insert the connector into the Pulse Wire.
Then, insert the excess wire into the Pulse Bar.

Cut the plastic tie off the Pulse Wire (69). Attach the
Pulse Bar (78) to the Uprights (72) with two Pulse Bar
Bolts (75) and two Star Washers (84).

Bracket with a 3/4” Screw (2). Attach the other Handrail
Bracket to the left Upright (not shown) in the same way.

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.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
