between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.

Important Electrical Information

WARNING!

NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill.
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 affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If y ou suspect
the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for
proper testing. See Diagnosis Guide, page 26.
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.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding 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 120-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 (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 Operation Instructions

NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the

●

results of any operational change you request from the computer.

● 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.

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

household power supply that could damage treadmill components.

● Use caution while participating in other activities while walk ing 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.

● NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. Sole treadmills start

with 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.

Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline,

speed, etc.).

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.

Safety Tether Cord

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 round metal portion of the console control

head. Your treadmill will not st art and operate without this. Removing the magnet also
secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.

2. 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
it’s function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to
two step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause
switch in normal operation.
