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.

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

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 22 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 12).

16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

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

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women.

shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

When connecting the power cord (see page

10.

10), 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 10. 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,

17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
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. 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.)

20. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 20.)

AND
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20

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 wrench and your own phillips screwdriver (with
a shaft at least 6" long) 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. To avoid damaging plastic
parts, do not use power tools for assembly.
