IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TREADMILL
CAUTION: Before starting any exercise program, it is recommended that you consult your physician.
WARNING: Connect this unit to a properly grounded outlet only.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet immediately after
using and before cleaning.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1. Use 120 volt a.c. household current on a dedicated circuit.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. See diagram below for
grounding methods.
2.The use of an extension cord with this product is not recommended. If an extension cord is needed, use a short (less than 10 feet) heavy gauge
(14 gauge or better) extension cord with a three prong (grounded) plug and receptacle.
3. Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before removing or replacing parts.
4. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to water.
5. Do not pull the treadmill by the power supply cord or use cord as a handle. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and open flames.
6. Fitness equipment must always be installed and used on a flat surface. Do not use outdoors or near water.
7. Do not insert any objects into any openings.
8. Keep children and pets away from this equipment at all times while exercising.
9. Handicapped individuals should have medical approval and close supervision when using this treadmill.
10.Do not place hands or feet under the treadmill. Always keep hands and legs off of the treadmill when others are using it.
11.Never turn on treadmill while standing on treadbelt. Always return the treadmill to slow speed to provide for safe dismount and low speed
restart.
12.To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
13.Use the treadmill only for it’s intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer.
14.Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward. This allows your heart rate to gradually increase and
decrease and will help prevent straining muscles.
15. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the level of exercise being performed.
16. Start your program slowly and very gradually increase your speed and distance.
17. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear while exercising. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become entangled with the moving
parts of your treadmill.
18. Do not walk or jog barefoot, in stocking feet or loose fitting shoes or slippers.
19. Care must be taken when lifting or moving the equipment, so as not to injure your back. Always use proper lifting techniques.
WARNING: Before beginning any exercise program consult your physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using any
fitness equipment. We assume no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use
of this product.

Monitor Operation
Dot Matrix Center Display (Manual Operation):
Twenty rows of Red “dots” (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The dots are only to show an
approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an
approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the Speed / Incline dot matrix
window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.
Next to the Dot Matrix window are three LEDs labeled: Track, Speed and Incline, along with a Display button.
When the Track LED is lit the Dot matrix displays the Track profile, when the Speed LED is lit the Dot matrix
displays the Speed profile and when the Incline LED is lit the Dot Matrix displays the Incline profile. You may
change the Dot Matrix profile view by pressing the Select button. After scrolling through the three profiles, by
pressing the Select button, the Dot matrix will automatically scroll through the three displays showing each
one for four seconds. The LED associated with each profile wil l blink while that view is displayed. One more
press of the Display button will return you to the Track profile.

Counts down from your preset target time to 00:00 during your workout
Speed: Display the current speed in miles per hour

Calories: Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.
Note: This is a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which
cannot be used for medical purposes. No exercise machine can give you an exact
calorie count because there are too many factors which determine exact calorie burn
for a particular person. Even if someone is the exact same bodyweight, age and
height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to
be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout.
Pulse: Displays the user’s current heart rate in beats per minutes during the workout.
To display your heart rate, you must hold both handrails.
Note: This is a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which
cannot be used for medical purposes.
Incline: Displays the incline position from 0 to 15
Program: Displays your current program.
