SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this treadmill have read the Owner’s Manual and are familiar
with warnings and safety precautions.
All treadmills have a user maximum capacity of 400 pounds.
The treadmill should only be used on a level surface and is intended for indoor use only. The treadmill should not
be placed in a garage, patio, or near water and should never be used while you are wet. Smooth recommends a
treadmill mat be placed under the treadmill to protect floor or carpet and for easier cleaning.
Follow safety information in regards to plugging in your treadmill. Keep the power cord away from the incline wheels
and do not run the power cord underneath your treadmill. Do not operate the treadmill with a damaged or frayed
power cord.
Wear comfortable, good-quality walking or running shoes and appropriate clothing. Do not use the treadmill with
bare feet, sandals, socks or stockings.
Always straddle the belt and allow it to start moving before stepping onto the belt.
Hold on to handrails when adjusting speed, incline, or other controls.
Always examine your treadmill before using to ensure all parts are in working order.
Allow the belt to fully stop before dismounting.
Pets should never be allowed near or on the treadmill.
Do not leave children unsupervised near or on the treadmill.
Never operate the treadmill where oxygen is being administered, or where aerosol products are being used.
Never insert any object or body parts into any opening.
For safety and to prevent damage to your treadmill, no more than one person should use the treadmill at a time.
Always unplug the treadmill before cleaning and/or servicing. Service to your treadmill should only be performed by
an authorized service representative, unless authorized and/or instructed by the manufacturer. Failure to follow
these instructions will void the treadmill warranty.
Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running.

This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health
problems.
gen to the muscles and raising body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching and light exercise to warm up. The photos on this page show several forms of basic
stretching you may perform before your workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each stretch three times.
TOE TOUCH STRETCH
Stand bending your knees slightly and slowly
bend forward from your hips. Allow your back
and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, back of knees , and back.
HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the
opposite foot toward you and rest it against the
inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward
your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
CALF/ACHILLES STRETCH
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward
and place your hands against a wall. Keep your
back leg straight and your back foot flat on the
floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and
move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. To cause further stretching
of the Achilles tendons, bend your back leg as
well. This will stretch your calves, Achilles tendons, and ankles.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
With one hand against a wall for balance,
reach back and grasp one foot with your other
hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks
as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.

Power Requirements
WARNING!
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONNECTOR CAN RESULT
IN A RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE MAN 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.
This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power. Voltage
spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or
off. To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single outlet surge
protector with a UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with a UL suppressed voltage
rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC, 15 amps.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current, should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill comes with an electrical cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Always 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 the
drawing (1) below.

Heart Rate Interactive Programming Introduction and
Overview (HR models only)
INTRODUCTION
The Smooth Heart Rate Interactive system is designed to maximize your workout by monitoring
and adjusting the treadmill incline grade to maintain your target heart rate. Once you enter your
individual parameters for target heart rate, time,
distance, or maximum incline, the treadmill’s
computer takes over and automatically changes
the incline grade to keep you near your target
heart rate.
Warning: Consult your physician to determine your target heart rate.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before selecting a Heart Rate Interactive program or workout, it is important to use the treadmill several times in Manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. A Heart Rate Chest Strap
Transmitter is included with all HR models.
It is suggested for the Chest Strap
Transmitter
transmitter as close to your heart as possible,
against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral
muscles. For best results, moisten the back of
the transmitter with saline solution for a better
contact. The PULSE diode on the console will
blink when the unit is receiving from the Chest
Strap Transmitter.
Smooth Heart Rate Programs Overview
There are a total of 14 different Heart Rate Programs, divided into 3 groups, available on the
Smooth HR treadmills. The following is a brief
description of each the 3 groups.
Group 1—Time Based Target Heart Rate
Training
(HR Workouts 1 through 5)
These 5 programs are time based. You may
preset your target heart rate, maximum incline,
and time of workout. The distance traveled will
vary depending on speed.
Group 2—Distance Based Target Heart Rate
Training
(2 Mile, 4 Mile, 5K, and 10K)
These 4 programs are distance based. You may
that you position the rectangular
your target heart rate, and maximum incline.
The duration of the workout will depend upon
your speed.
Group 3—Interval Time Based Target Heart
Rate Training
(Interval HR Programs 1 through 5)
Interval heart rate training takes your workout to
a new level. This type of training allows you to
program periods of rest between periods of
work. For each workout, you enter target heart
rate, maximum incline, duration of workout, and
duration of work and rest intervals. These time
based workouts will vary the distance traveled
depending upon your speed.
Heart Rate Monitoring Available in all other
programs (not interactive)
In addition to the Heart Rate Interactive programs in Groups 1 through 3, all other programs
allow heart rate monitoring. Whether you
choose Manual, Hill or Speed Intervals, Cardiovascular Workout, or User Programs, the Chest
Strap Transmitter will send a signal to allow
heart rate monitoring.
How the Heart Rate Interactive System
Works: Incline Grade Changes
To increase your heart rate toward your target,
the treadmill will gradually increase incline to the
maximum you set, in .5% increments.
To decrease your heart rate toward your target,
the treadmill will gradually decrease incline to
0%, in .5% increments.
Note: The Heart Rate Interactive programs
store your parameters once you have completed
a HR program. You do not need to re-enter data.
To quick start a previously completed program,
insert the Safety Key, select the program, and
press START.
20
Page 21
Smooth Heart Rate Interactive Programming: How it Works
(HR models only)
The Smooth Heart Rate Interactive System is safe and simple and easy to understand. The user
first sets the maximum for grade. This allows the user to customize and create a variety of workouts
in a safe way. Once the data is entered, along with workout time and target heart rate, the user is
ready to start their Heart Rate Interactive workout.
The Heart Rate Interactive System is divided into 3 stages: Warm Up, Heart Rate Interactive,
and Cool Down. In the Warm Up stage, the treadmill is basically in manual mode while the user adjusts speed and incline. The user can take as much time during the Warm Up stage to approach
their Target Heart Rate. The Warm Up stage ends when the user’s pulse or heart rate is within 10
beats of the pre-set target heart rate.
Upon reaching within 10 beats of the pre-set target heart rate, the user now enters the Heart
Rate Interactive stage. The treadmill’s computer takes over from here, adjusting incline to maintain
your heart rate near the target heart rate. To increase your heart rate toward your target, the treadmill will gradually increase incline to the maximum you set, in .5% increments. To decrease your
heart rate toward your target, the treadmill will gradually decrease incline to 0%, in .5% increments.

Belt Adjustment and Tension
WARNING! Do not overtighten rollers! This will cause premature roller
bearing failure!
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension
and centering. Your new treadmill comes pre-adjusted from the factory for
tension and centering. Please follow the procedures below if the belt shifts
to the left or right or while walking:
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT (Diagram 1)
First, turn treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provided, turn
the left rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Next,
run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself,
moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the
walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension
once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping
while walking. Refer below to the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT (Diagram 2)
First, turn the treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provided, turn
the right rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Next,
run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself,
moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the
walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension
once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping
while walking. Refer below to the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.
WALKING BELT IS SLIPPING DURING USE (Diagram 3)
First, unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key
provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same
distance, usually a ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord
back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should
now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the
above procedure until the walking belt is not slipping. The tension should
be just tight enough not to slip.
Turning the hex key counter clockwise brings the rear rollers and belt
♦
towards you. Turning the hex key clockwise pushes the rear roller and
belt away form you.

Maintenance Instructions
WARNING!
protector.
CLEANING
Routine cleaning of your Smooth treadmill will extend the life of your treadmill. WARNING! To prevent electrical
shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit unplugged from the wall electrical outlet before
attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft
cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.
WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and
eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be
checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance.
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board
as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch,
follow the instructions below.
Smooth recommends “Lube N Walk” for cleaning and lubricating the treadmill belt and deck. You may also use
silicone such as “Napa 8300” (available at most stores).
TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD
1) Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the center of the walking board.
2) Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3) While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6” from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front of
the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.
4) Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.
WARNING: Do not overlubricate the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean towel
Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill, always unplug the power cord from the surge
.
