with pre-existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions. Use
the treadmill only as described.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill
on any surface that blocks air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

your local WEIDER dealer or call the toll-free
telephone number on the front cover of this
manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.

12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con­trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys­tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.

13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.

14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the

handrails while using the treadmill.

17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

18. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart
rate trends in general.

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included hex key and your own Phillips screwdriver . For help
identifying the assembly hardware, see the drawings below. The number in parentheses below each drawing

is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number following the paren­theses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been preassembled. If a part is

not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preassembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not
use power tools for assembly.

1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.

With the help of a second person, raise the front
of the treadmill and insert the crossbar on the
Base (83) into the cutout in the cardboard stand
as shown. Have the second person hold the

treadmill to prevent it from moving forward
or backward until assembly step 2 is com­pleted.

WARNING: Serious injury

may occur if the treadmill moves for­ward or backward and falls off the card­board stand. A second person must
hold the treadmill until assembly step 2
is completed to prevent the treadmill
from moving, tipping, or falling.
