IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Caution!
Do not attempt to plug in or operate your treadmill before reading the Important Precautions.
Important Precautions
Power Source
Plug the treadmill power cord into a dedicated (not shared) 110 volt, alternating current (AC), 15 amp
grounded outlet circuit. Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet.
Do not modify the plug to fit an existing outlet. If it will not fit your outlet, have the correct outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Never operate your treadmill if the power cord has been damaged. Keep the power cord away from
any heated surfaces.
Do not run the power cord under the treadmill. Make sure that the power cord has enough slack to
allow the walking deck to fully elevate.
Treadmill Placement
Select a location that is:
•Indoors, away from a water source (pool, hot tub, sauna etc.)
•Away from the use of aerosol sprays or the administration of oxygen.
•Level, free of obstructions, and offers clear access on all sides.
You may place the treadmill on a carpeted floor, but deep pile shag carpeting could interfere with
proper ventilation. Use a treadmill mat (usually available from your retailer) if you have deep pile carpeting.
Treadmill Operation
Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Do not overexert yourself during a workout. If you feel any pain or discomfort, consult your
physician immediately.
Close supervision is required whenever your treadmill is in use. This is especially important when
in use around children, invalids, disabled persons and pets.
Wear clothing appropriate for exercising on your treadmill. Always wear running or training shoes
with rubber soles. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may become caught in the treadmill. Keep
fingers, jewelry, towels and long hair away from any moving parts.
Always attach the Safety Key lanyard clip to your clothing so that the unit will shut down if you
stumble or fall.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Never power up the computer or start the treadmill while standing on the walking belt. You should
straddle the walking deck by standing on the side rails until the belt starts moving. Don’t wait for the
treadmill to ramp up to full speed before stepping onto the walking belt.
Make sure that all users are familiar with the instructions and precautions in this manual. Allow only
one person at a time on your treadmill. Always keep your body facing forward when the walking belt
is moving. Use the handles when mounting, operating and exiting your treadmill.
It’s a good idea to remove the magnetic Safety Key when you finish your workout to prevent
unauthorized use. If your treadmill is going to be left unattended, remove the Safety Key and
unplug the power cord.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Programs
Caution !
You should consult your physician to determine your target heart rate.
After determining your target heart rate, monitor your heart rate while using the Manual Program
to help choose the optimal walking belt speed. The speed should be set at a comfortable pace that
slowly brings your heart rate to approximately 10 BPM (beats per minute) below your target.
While walking at your optimal speed, the 935 computer will automatically adjust the incline to help
you reach your target heart rate.
If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop and consult your physician immediately.
Treadmill Maintenance
Allow only trained personnel to service your treadmill.
Do not modify your treadmill, use any parts or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer,
or attempt any service other than the assembly and maintenance recommended in this manual.
Always unplug the power cord before attempting to move or perform any maintenance on your treadmill.
When folded, make sure that the Safety Lock is fully engaged. Refer to the Folding And Lowering The
Treadmill section of this manual for the proper folding and lowering procedure.
Regularly inspect and tighten any of the hardware used in the treadmill assembly process.

USING YOUR TREADMILL
HOW TO START: First of all, start out slow and easy. Just walk for 10 minutes. Do this every
day for a week. If this was easy for you, add five minutes to your exercise for week 2. Keep
adding 5 minutes until you are running as long as desired.
WATCH YOUR POSTURE: Think of elongating your body. Hold your head up and eyes forward.
Your shoulders should be down, back and relaxed. Tighten your abdominals and buttocks.
Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise. Incorporate a warm up, cool
down and stretches into your routine. Start your walk at a slow warm up pace, stop and do a
few warm up stretches. Then exercise for the desired length of time. End your exercise with
the slower cool down pace and stretch well. Stretching will make you feel great and assist in
injury prevention.
The toughest thing about starting a fitness program is developing a habit. Walking daily will
help (a minimum of 5 days a week is a good goal). You should walk fast enough to reach your
target heart rate, but you should not be gasping for air.
After you have formed the habit you will want to evaluate your program and your goals.
To improve cardiovascular fitness walk 3 to 4 days a week, 20 to 30 minutes at a very fast pace
- breathing hard but not gasping for air.
If you are exercising for weight loss you should walk a minimum of five days a week, 45 to 60
minutes at a "purposeful" pace.
If you're new to exercise, start off with slow, short sessions and build your way up gradually.
If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, be sure to check with your doctor for
advice before you begin a routine.

17
STRETCHING
Stretching is one of the most important elements of a good fitness, many users don't stretch
enough, or stretch incorrectly. Stretching can be time consuming, but it is important for good
exercise form and injury prevention.
Important rules for stretching:
1. Always warm up prior to stretching.
2. Do not bounce. A stretch should be a gentle movement. Slowly go to the point where you
feel tension in the muscle.
3. A good stretch should not hurt. If you are stretching to the point of pain you are stretching
too hard.
4. To lengthen the muscles hold the stretch for 30 to 40 seconds.
Stretching Routine
Toe points -- Lift one foot off the floor and gently point the toe. Hold for a few seconds. Now,
flex your foot pointing your toe up. Do about five of these on each foot.
Ankle Circles -- Stand with your weight on one foot. Lift one foot off the floor and gently point
the toe. Rotate your ankle and do about ten circles in each direction. Then change feet. Do this
two or three times with each foot.
Arm Circles -- Hold your arms straight out to the side. Make small circles going backward,
gradually getting larger and larger. Rest for a second and do the same thing in the forward
direction. Do this a couple of times until your arms, shoulders and upper back are warmed up.
Hamstring and Lower Back -- Slowly bend forward from your waist with your knees slightly
bent. Reach for the floor and hold. Only bend as far as comfortable.
Lower back -- While lying on your back, bring both knees up towards the chest with the hands.
Round the lower back and relax into the stretch. Don't do this stretch on a hard surface...use a
stretching mat, which will provide the required support.
Shoulder Stretch -- Standing upright, cross left arm over chest. Place your right hand on your
upper arm and pull arm in tight to chest. Be sure to keep shoulders down and do not pull at
the elbow. Hold, and then repeat stretch with other arm.
Neck Relax -- Turn and look over your right shoulder and hold. Repeat on the left side. Don't
hyper-extend the neck, or tilt it backwards.

BELT ADJUSTMENT
19
NOTICE: The treadmill should be placed on a level surface. If the treadmill is not
level, the belt will continuously track to the low side of the treadmill.
WALKING BELT TENSION
As walking belts tend to stretch slightly with use, the belt may occasionally need to be tightened.
If belt is too loose, you may find the belt stops while running or walking, while the motor continues
to run. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BELT. This will cause reduced motor performance and roller
damage.
When properly tensioned, you should be able
to lift the side of the belt about 2-3 inches
(5-7.5 centimeters). A quick test for belt tension:
you should be able to fit three fingers under the
edge of the belt.
To tighten belt:
Use allen key provided with the treadmill, place
it in the hole in rear end cap and into the socket
of the adjustment screw. Turn key one full turn
clockwise. Then place allen key in hole in right
end cap and turn key one full turn clockwise.
Check the tension of the belt. Continue back
and forth until belt is at the correct tension.
Make sure to adjust both sides equally to
ensure correct belt alignment.
