Note: An EXPLODED DRAWING is attached in the center of this manual.

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 in this manual.

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 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 7), plug the power cord into a surge protector (not included) and plug the surge protector 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 UL-listed surge protector, rated at

15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge protector 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 treadmill is not working properly.)

14. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt.

15. Always hold the handrails while running on the treadmill. When walking, hold the handrails or use the included hand weights.

16. CD workout programs make optional use of the included hand weights. Using weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using weights should be attempted only by experienced users.

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

18. During CD workout programs, an electronic ÒchirpingÓ sound will alert you when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change. Always listen for the ÒchirpÓ and be prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline will change before the personal trainer describes the change.

19. During a CD workout program, you can manually override the speed and incline settings at any time by pressing the speed and incline buttons. However, when the next ÒchirpÓ is heard, the speed and/or incline will change back to the programmed settings.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

20. 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.)

21. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 13.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

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

23. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

24. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly.

25. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

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. A phillips screwdriver (not included) may be needed for assembly.

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 Uprights (15) until the treadmill is in the position shown.

2. Make sure that the Lock Knob Sleeve (93) is fully inserted into the left Upright (15).

Remove the Lock Knob (92) from the Lock Pin (97). Make sure that the Lock Pin Collar (95) and the Spring (94) are on the Lock Pin. Insert the Lock Pin into the left Upright (15) and tighten the Lock Knob onto it.

3. Observe the two Rear Feet (120) at the rear of the tread-

mill (see figure 1 above). If there is a space between one of the Feet and the floor, the included spacer will need to be attached.

Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and raise the treadmill to the storage position as described on page 13.

Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the Screw (75) and the Rear Foot (120) from the side that was raised off the floor. Snap the provided Rear Foot Spacer (102) onto the Rear Foot. Reattach the Rear Foot to the treadmill Frame (79).

Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the treadmill as described on page 13.

4. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat under the treadmill to protect the floor or carpet. Note: Keep the included allen wrench in a secure location. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 15).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING 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 platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs 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 protector (not included) with your treadmill.

Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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 protector to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

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 productÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
