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

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
uppressor could result in damage to the con-

s
trol 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.

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 6 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

14. Read, understand, and test the emergency

stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
TREADMILL OPERATION on page 10).

15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

16. To protect the treadmill and TV during light-

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 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.

10. 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,
or see your local electronics store.

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 move the reset/off circuit
breaker to the “off” position when the tread
mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6
for the location of the circuit breaker.)

equires two persons. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of

r
the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

mall amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or

s
the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or
on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires a phillips screwdriver and the included allen wrench .

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (65) to a vertical position.

Have the second person hold the console assembly near
the Uprights (65) as shown. Look under the console as­sembly and locate the Console Wire Harness (71) and the
TV cable.

Cut the plastic ties securing the Upright Wire Harness
(85) and the Upright TV Cable (100) to the Uprights (65).
Connect the Upright TV Cable to the TV cable in the con­sole assembly. Connect the Upright Wire Harness to the
Console Wire Harness (71).

connectors properly (see the inset drawing). The con­nectors should slide together easily and snap into

snap into place, turn one connector and try again. IF THE
CONNECTORS ARE NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY,
THE CONSOLE MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN THE
POWER IS TURNED ON.

2. Insert the slack in the Wire Harnesses (71, 85) and the
TV cable into the Uprights (65).
