15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

overheating, do not operate the treadmill
continuously for longer than one hour.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key when the
treadmill is not in use.

19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

THE TREADMILL on page 10.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.

23. Do not attempt to modify the incline of the
treadmill by placing objects under the front
or rear of the treadmill.

24. Always unplug the power cord before per­forming the maintenance and adjustment
procedures described in this manual. Never
remove the motor hood unless instructed to
do so by an authorized service representa­tive. Servicing other than the procedures in
this manual should be performed by an

Assembly requires two people. Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials; do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

The following tools (not included) are required for assembly: two (2) adjustable wrenches
and a phillips screwdriver . Assembly will be more convenient if you have the following tools:

A socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

1. Note that the Right Handrail and the Console Base
(not shown) are connected to the treadmill by a Wire
Harness. During assembly steps 1 through 3, be

careful not to pull on or damage the Wire Harness.

With the help of a second person, carefully lay the
treadmill on its side. Position one of the Base Legs
(38) on the base of the Upright (31) as shown. Make
sure that the Base Leg Pads (41) and the Front
Wheel (39) are in the indicated positions. Attach the
Base Leg with two 3/8Ó x 2Ó Bolts (43), two 3/8Ó
Washers (35) and two 3/8Ó Nuts (34).

Carefully turn the treadmill onto its other side.
Assemble the other Base Leg (38) as described.

With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position so that both Base
Legs (38) are resting flat on the floor.

2. Refer to HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR

USE on page 11. Follow step 2 on page 11 to lower
the treadmill.

Cut the plastic ties that hold the cage nuts in each
Handrail (30, 32).

Position the Left Handrail (30) on the left Upright (31)
as shown. Thread a 1/4Ó x 1Ó Bolt (23) into the lower
end of the Left Handrail. Thread a 1/4Ó x 1Ó Bolt (23)
with a 1/4Ó Washer (51) into the upper end of left
Upright and the Left Handrail. Do not tighten the

Bolts yet.

While a second person holds the Console Base (12)
and the Right Handrail (32) near the right Upright
(31), feed the excess Wire Harness (28) into the
upper end of the Right Handrail, and pull it out of
the bottom of the right Upright (31) (see drawing 5).

Attach the Right Handrail (32) in the same way as
the Left Handrail (30). Do not tighten the Bolts yet.

Be careful not to pinch the Wire Harness (28).

the Wrench Clip onto the base of the right Upright (31) in
the indicated location. Press the Allen Wrench (90) into
the Wrench Clip.

Alkaline batteries are recommended. To install batter­ies, open the battery cover as shown at the right. Press
the batteries into the battery compartment, with the neg­ative (Ð) ends of the batteries touching the springs.
Close the battery cover, push up on the tab, and then
push the tab forward as shown in the inset drawing. Be
sure that the tab locks into place.
