WARNING!

NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any ap-
pliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving

part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.

If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be af-
fected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low,

contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture.This product is NOT designed for use outdoors,
near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment.The maximum operating

temperature specification is 40 degrees c, and humidity is 95% non-condensing
(no water drops forming on surfaces).

Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents
that can occur when a treadmill is first turned on or even during use. If your treadmill is tripping
the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on

the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush
type.This is not a warranty defect.This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to

control.This part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples:
Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part # Q012OHM.

GROUNDINGI T

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-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.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment=grounding conductor can result in a 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
product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 11O-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below

may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded
outlet is not available.The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded

outlet, (shown below) 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.

IMPORTANT TI T CTI

II NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of

any operational change you request from the computer.

II Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired

speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key.The computer will obey the
command gradually.

II NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household

power supply that could damage treadmill components. Unplug the treadmill during an
electrical storm as a precaution.

II Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as

watching television, reading, etc.These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray
from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury.

II NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. SOLE treadmills start at a

very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on
the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.

II Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).
II Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys.They are precision set to function

properly with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster
or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact

your SOLE dealer.

IMPORTANT TYI ST UCTI

A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used
at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.

To

Use:

1.

Place the magnet into position on the red oval portion of the console control head. Your
treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the

treadmill from unauthorized use.

.

Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note:

The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping.The

clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its
function and limitations.The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two

step coast anytime the magnet is pulled offthe console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch
in normal operation.

IMPORTANT TYI ST LICTI

READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL

Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.

There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from
unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could

spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the
strap is removed.

To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the
treadmill is positioned fiat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the

treadmill. Do not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap.This could
cause the treadmill's folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you
need to grab to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to

grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.
