IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded. If it malfunctions or breaks down, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
currents. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Insert the plug into a dedicated 110-120 VAC~
electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter or extension cord with this
unit.
WARNING! – An improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in
a risk of an electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the unit is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided to
you. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Please save these instructions

TREADMILL AND CONSOLE
MOVING THE TREADMILL
Use the front wheels to move the treadmill. Elevating the treadmill
(incline) may help make the wheeling of the unit easier. Always be
sure to use proper lifting form / technique. Grasp the end caps with
two hands and slowly lift deck up until you are in an upright position.
Keep the treadmill at that angle and wheel the unit as required.
SAFETY KEY & CLIP

the treadmill if it is not in place. User should attach the clip end to
clothing. The magnet end goes into the recess in the center of
the console. If at any time you need to stop the treadmill, pull the
safety key quickly off the console. This will cut all power to the
treadmill and it will come to a complete stop. To restart the treadmill,
place the safety key back in place. Previously input program and data
will have to be re-entered.
BEFORE STARTING
Straddle the running belt and stand on the side rails. Insert the safety
key and attach the clip to your clothing. Do not stand on the walking
belt while starting or stopping the treadmill.

SECTION 5
CALCULATE YOUR TARGET HEART RATE
Heart Rate (HR) training has become one of the most popular forms of
monitoring your workouts. Nothing tells you how your body is feeling like your
own heart. By using your heart rate to tell you how hard to train, you can
maximize your workout results.
STEP ONE
Determining your Maximum Heart Rate:
The standard calculation for determining your maximum heart rate, Beats Per
Minute (BPM), is to take your age and subtracting it from the number 220.
Example: If you are 30 years of age, your maximum heart rate is:
220 – 30 = 190 BPM.
STEP TWO
Select your ideal workout HR Zone:
Once you have your maximum heart rate you can use it to determine your target
HR Zone based on your fitness goal(s).
Recent studies have shown:
60-70% of your maximum HR will allow you to loose weight.
70-80% of your maximum HR will improve your aerobic fitness.
80-85% of your maximum HR will increase your athletic performance.
Note : DO NOT exceed 85% of your maximum heart rate.
STEP THREE
Calculate your ideal Target HR:
Using the above percentages, you can calculate your ideal target Heart Rate for
your specific goal.
As an example, the average 30 year old can:
Maximize burn fat / weight loss, by maintaining ~123 BPM during a workout
190 * 0.65 =123 BPM.
Improve aerobic fitness, by maintaining ~142 BPM during a workout
190 * 0.75 =142 BPM.
Remember to consult your family physician or health care professional to
develop a well-planned exercise program to fit your health needs.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The running belt can shift to one side or simply ‘skid
over’ when running. Run the machine at 3 mph for a
few minutes to determine which side the belt is
drifting towards, left or right. Center the belt using
the 8 mm Torque wrench.
If the belt is drifting left.
i) Turn the treadmill off and unplug from the machine.
ii) Tighten the left hexagonal head socket a ¼ turn
(clockwise).
iii) Loosen the right hexagonal head socket a ¼ turn
(counterclockwise).
iv) Run the belt at 3 mph again for a few minutes.
If the belt drifts to the left, repeat steps.
If the belt is drifting right.
i) Turn the treadmill off and unplug from the machine.
ii) Tighten the right hexagonal head socket a ¼ turn
(clockwise).
iii) Loosen the left hexagonal head socket a ¼ turn
(counterclockwise).
iv) Run the belt at 3 mph again for a few minutes.
If the belt drifts to the right, repeat steps.
Once the running belt has been adjusted, closer to
the center, the treadmill can be powered on again.
WARNING!
Do not use cleaner under the running belt.
i) Use 8 mm Torque wrench to loosen the hexagonal
head socket in the end caps. Remove excessive
accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances
from running deck. ONLY use a clean soft cloth.
ii) Gently pull up the side of the running belt.
Dispense a thin layer of the lubricant on deck, and
spread evenly. DO NOT over lubricate.
iii) Center the belt (using the instructions above), and
tighten the hexagonal head socket.
Check belt condition and if necessary adjust using
the instructions above.
