Safety Tips
1-2
1. Always use safety key and attach
lanyard to your clothing at about
waist height.
2. Wear comfortable, good-quality
walking or running shoes.
3. Warm-up and cool-down periods are
important for a complete workout.
4. Always straddle the belt and allow it to
start moving before stepping onto it.
5. Hold the grab bar while adjusting the
controls.
6. Keeping your eyes focused straight
ahead will help you maintain your
balance.
7. Adjust your own speed and grade.
Never make adjustments for another
person or allow someone else to make
adjustments for you.
8. Always allow the belt to stop completely
before dismounting. Gradually slowing
down also minimizes the sensation of
feeling like you are still moving after you
stop.
9. Allow space behind treadmill and sides
in the event you lose your balance.
10. Always inspect your treadmill to
ensure there are no foreign objects
obstructing the moving parts.
11. To avoid any possibility of being struck
or caught between moving parts,
bystanders should not be within reach
of the treadmill while it is in motion.
12. For safety reasons and to prevent
damage to your treadmill, allow only
ONE person at a time on your machine.
13. Never leave unsupervised children
near your treadmill.
14. Animals should never be allowed on or
near your treadmill.
15. Keep the power cord clear of the
incline system. Allow extra slack for
inclining the machine. Do not run the
power cord under the treadmill.
16. Your treadmill is designed for indoor
use only.
17. Never use your treadmill around water
or while you are wet. Using the unit
around a pool, hot tub or sauna will
void the warranty.
18. Do not operate treadmill while using
bottled oxygen.
Congratulations on your purchase of a TRUE treadmill. You
have chosen a premium piece of exercise equipment
designed to meet your fitness needs.
Before using your treadmill, please review this manual to
learn about the unit’s features, functions, maintenance
procedures, and safe operation.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::
Do not use an extension cord or
an ungrounded outlet. The ground helps
prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and
enhances your safety by preventing shock.
This grounded outlet is critical for the HRC
system to function properly.
NNOOTTEE::
Units
produced for use outside of the U.S.A. will have
voltage indicated on the identification tag.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Your treadmill’s running belt has been
properly aligned at the factory. However,
when the treadmill is used on an uneven
surface, please follow these instructions:
PPRREEFFEERRRREEDD MMEETTHHOODD
Level the treadmill by placing shims 1/8” to
3/8” thick under the front wheel and rear
shock absorber on one side.
NNOOTTEE::
This
method will provide extended belt life by
keeping both rollers parallel. Adjusting the
belt tracking by using the roller bolts will
cause the belt to stretch on one side.

SETTING UP YOUR
TREADMILL
Place your treadmill on a clean, level surface.
Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a
grounded three-pronged outlet and has
enough slack to allow the deck to incline
unhindered by the cord. Do not allow the
treadmill assembly to rest on the cord.
Although your treadmill is designed to
operate on most carpeted surfaces, some
deeply padded or heavy shag carpets can
cause damage to the unit. To prevent
damage to your treadmill or carpet, have
someone stand on the deck and make sure
the treadmill belt doesn’t touch the carpet at
any point.
Your TRUE treadmill is designed for indoor
use only. Always keep the control panel out of
direct sunlight.

Your treadmill is made up of two main sections: the base and
the pedestal.
The base of the treadmill consists of a metal frame, a
shock-absorbing deck system and a powerful
continuous-duty horsepower DC motor. The motor powers
a pulley system which moves the running belt over the deck.
(See figure 1, page 1-4)
The pedestal mounts on the top of the frame. It places the
displays, information readout and touch keys within easy sight
and reach.

1. Stand beside the treadmill, insert the safety
key into the bottom of the control panel and
follow operating instructions for running the
treadmill at 5 mph. (Section 2.5)
2. If the belt is off-center to the right, turn the
left roller adjustment bolt counter clock-wise
1/4 turn. If the belt is off-center to the left,
turn the left roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise. (Figure 1 Detail 1)
3. Let the machine run for several minutes to
check the alignment. (Belt alignment does
not need to be perfect). If more correction is
needed, turn the adjustment bolt 1/4 turn
and check again.
TREADBELT TENSION:
To assure maximum life of the treadbelt, roller
and drive motor, make sure the treadbelt
tension is set correctly. (Your treadbelt has
been properly tensioned at the factory.)
•Turn both rear roller adjustment bolts
(Detail 1) counter-clockwise until treadbelt
just begins slipping when walking on it, then
turn both rear roller adjustment bolts
clockwise in equal quarter turn increments
until treadbelt stops slipping. NOTE: Be
sure to run on treadbelt to ensure that the
treadbelt does not slip while under load.
SAFETY FEATURES
PPAADDDDEEDD HHAANNDD RRAAIILL
The padded hand rail is mounted to the rear
of the control console. The bar provides a
convenient support to use throughout your
workout.

The on/off switch is located to the right of the
power cord on the front of the machine. It
completely removes AC power from your
treadmill. It is recommended that you use this
switch to turn the machine off after each
workout.
CCIIRRCCUUIITT BBRREEAAKKEERR
Your TRUE treadmill is protected from
overload by a 20 amp circuit breaker that can
be reset in the event of a power overload. It is
located to the left of the power cord.
SSAAFFEETTYY KKEEYY AANNDD LLAANNYYAARRDD
You can protect yourself from injuries resulting
from unexpected loss of balance by attaching
the lanyard to your clothing at about waist
height when you use your treadmill. When the
safety key is detached, your treadmill will not
operate.
RREEAARR RROOLLLLEERR SSHHIIEELLDDSS
Steel guards over the ends of the rear roller
prevent towels and other items from getting
caught in the running belt.

This unique, simple, and safe system is
easy to use and understand.
The user first sets their personal maximums
for
bbootthh ssppeeeedd aanndd ggrraaddee..
This allows the
user to customize and create a variety of
workouts. By setting personal maximums
for speed and grade, the user is provided
safe workouts that fit their capabilities. Once
this data is entered, along with target heart
rate and workout time, the user is ready to
start their Heart Rate Control workout.
The initial stage of the Heart Rate Control
workout is the warm-up stage and allows the
user the flexibility to adjust their speed or
grade at anytime. The warm-up stage is not
predetermined by the amount of time input
prior to workout, and the user may take as
much time as they wish to approach their
target heart rate. The warm-up stage ends
when the user’s heart rate is ten beats below
the pre-set target heart rate.
At this point, the user enters the Heart Rate
Control stage, and the treadmill takes control
of both the speed and grade (hands free).
The treadmill software gradually increases
the user’s heart rate to within 10 beats of the
target heart rate.
In the situation where workload needs to be
increased in order to elevate the heart rate,
the speed will be increased first in 1/10 mph
increments.
If needed, the speed will continue to
increase up to the pre-set maximum. If the
user still requires additional workload to raise
the heart rate, the grade will be raised in .5%
increments up to the maximum pre-set grade
(unless zero grade was entered).
Conversely, whenever the workload needs
to be reduced in order to lower the heart rate,
the grade is always reduced first. The grade
will be reduced to zero (if required), before
speed is reduced.

True Target Heart Rate Control: How It Works
2-10
IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN
You are now the owner of the most sophisticated
Heart Rate Control treadmill available. The TRUE
HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates
users in rehabilitation to world class athletes, and
all those in between. The TRUE HRC treadmill
allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate
controlled workout using speed, grade or both. The
user determines all the key parameters of the HRC
workout, including speed, grade, time, and target
heart rate.
By training at a specific target heart rate, you can
exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because you
can enter the key parameters of your workout,
target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade,
and time, prior to beginning your HRC workout. As
you approach your target heart rate, the treadmill
software takes over and changes speed and/or
grade to keep you near your target heart rate. This
gives you a completely “hands free” workout.
RREECCOOMMMMEENNDDAATTIIOONNSS
Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it
is important to use the treadmill for several workouts
in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate.
You can monitor your heart rate during workouts by
wearing the heart rate transmitter included with your
treadmill. Your heart rate will automatically appear in
the lower right hand window, and the heart shaped
light will blink to indicate a signal is being received.
After you have spent some time learning how your
heart reacts to different levels of speed and grade,
you will have a better understanding of how to select
the maximum speed and maximum grade required to
reach your target heart rate.

The treadmill will operate in the manual mode
during the warm-up stage so you can control
both speed and grade. It is important that
you start at a low level of perceived exertion
and gradually increase your work load over
several minutes until you approach your
target heart rate. This allows your body to
adapt to your workout. Increasing work load
gradually will allow you to enter the heart
rate control stage without overshooting your
target.

Before beginning operation of the treadmill in
Heart Rate Control, you must first attach the
heart rate transmitter around
your chest. The radio
frequency transmitter strap
provided with your treadmill
should be worn directly
against your skin,
1-2 inches below the
pectoral muscles/breast line.
Women should be careful to
place the transmitter below
their bra line. Initially, the transmission signal for
heart rate may be erratic or non-existent.
Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper
transmission. In most cases, by the end of your
warm up, transmission becomes consistent and
accurate. If not, saline solution should be used to
moisten the sensors on the back of the strap.
The Heart ( ) LED will flash, showing that the
heart rate signal is received.
