Power Requirements
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING
CONNECTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF AN ELECTRIC
SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE MAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE
PRODUCT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE
PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE PRODUCT. IF PLUG WILL NOT

This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage
changes in your home’s electrical power. Voltage spikes, surges,
and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from
other appliances being turned on or off.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current should the treadmill malfunction. Always plug the power

cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 220-volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the drawing
below.
Warm Up Exercises
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program,
you should consult your physician. This is especially important
for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with
pre-existing health problems.

Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing
circulation, supplying more oxygen to the muscles and raising body
temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exer-cise to warm up. The photos on this page show
several forms of basic stretching you may perform before your
workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each
stretch three times.
TOE TOUCH STRETCH
Stand, bending your knees slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then
relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
This will stretch your hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
CALF/ACHILLES STRETCH
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. To cause
further stretching of the Achilles tendon, bend your back leg as well.
This will stretch your calves, Achilles tendons, and ankles.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. This will
stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.
INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. This will stretch your quadriceps and hip
muscles.

Belt Adjustment
WARNING! Do not over-tighten rollers! This will cause
premature roller bearing failure!
Note: The treadmill pictured below may not be identical to your
particular model.
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for
tension and centering. Your new treadmill comes pre-adjusted from
the factory for tension and centering. Please follow the procedures
below if the belt shifts to the left or right while walking:
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT (Diagram 1) First,
turn treadmill on to run at 1 KPH. Using the hex key provided, turn
the left rear roller adjustment bolt turn in the clock-wise direction.
Next, run the treadmill at 4KPH. You should see the belt start to
correct itself by moving back toward the center. Repeat the above

procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to
set walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if
the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the
“Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT (Diagram 2) First,
turn the treadmill on to run at 1 KPH. Using the hex key provided,
turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt turn in the clockwise
direction. Next, run the treadmill at 4 KPH. You should see the belt
start to correct itself, moving back toward the center. Repeat the
above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be
necessary to set walking belt tension once you have com-pleted
this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walk-ing. Refer
below to the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.

WALKING BELT IS SLIPPING DURING USE (Diagram 3) First,
unplug the power cord from the grounded outlet. Using the hex key
provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the
same distance, usually a turn, in the clockwise direction. Plug the
power cord back into the grounded outlet and run the treadmill at 4
KPH. You should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still
slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is not
slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to slip.
Note: Turning the hex key counter clockwise brings the rear rollers

and belt towards you. Turning the hex key clockwise pushes the
rear roller and belt away from you.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill,
always unplug the power cord from the grounded outlet.
CLEANING: Routine cleaning of your treadmill will extend the life of
your unit. WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, be sure the unit
is unplugged from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any
cleaning or maintenance.
AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other
treadmill surfaces with a clean, water damp-ened soft cloth to
remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.
WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of
cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and eventually
makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill
once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION: The walking belt has been pre-lubricated
at the factory. However, it is recom-mended that the walking board
be checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill
perfor-mance. Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides
of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as
