POWER REQUIREMENTS
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 IT WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET; HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
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. To reduce the
possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single outlet surge protector
with a UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400V or less
and an electrical rating 120VAC, 15 amps.
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. This treadmill comes with an electrical cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector 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 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the
drawing below.

TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS
How to transport the treadmill
:
1. To move the treadmill you will need to first flip
out the Right and Left Transport Wheel Brackets
(34 and 33) located on the underside of the Left
and Right Uprights (17 and 18). You may need
to tilt the treadmill to one side in order to access
the wheels. Be careful when tilting the treadmill
because it is heavy. You may need the
assistance of another person to do this.
2. Be sure both Transport Wheel Brackets (34 and
33) are flipped down and resting firmly on the
floor as shown in drawing 2.
3. Carefully lift the treadmill up slightly from the rear
and roll it to a desired position. Flip the
Transport Wheel Brackets (34 and 33) back up
into their stored position. Follow the instructions
on the STABILIZER ADJUSTMENT page in this
manual to level the frame to the floor.

LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
LEVEL ADJUSTMENT:
Uneven flooring could cause the SPRING KNOBS not to engage and thus prevent the EVO3i from inclining.
To adjust the levelers follow these instructions:
You will need someone to help you with this procedure, as you will need to tip the treadmill on its side.
Tip the treadmill to the left/right. You will then see the LEVEL ADJUSTERS. These will need to be screwed either in or out
to level the treadmill. Repeat for the other side. It may help to use a spirit level when adjusting the level on your treadmill.

MAINTENANCE
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE EVO 3i TREADMILL:
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance
could cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and exceed the LIMITED WARRANTY coverage.
?? Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids
away and keep it out of direct sunlight.
?? Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has been
adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could cause the belt to
shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing damage. To adjust the
belt back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:
?? Walking belt has shifted to the left:First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key
provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into
the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back
towards 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 has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key
provided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into
the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back
towards 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 slipping:First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn
both the left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same distance, usually a 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction.
Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. 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.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING:
Routine cleaning of your treadmill will extend the product's life.
?? Warning: To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the power cord is unplugged
from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
?? Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep
liquids away and keep it out of direct sunlight.
?? After each workout: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to
remove excess perspiration.
?? 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 recommended that the walking board be checked
periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated usually
within the first year or 500 hours of use. For service call your local EVO dealer or contact us directly at 888-800-1167.
Every 3 months of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far as you can
reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.
Please use Lube 'N Walk (can be purchased from your dealer or call the number on the front of the manual), or a non-
petroleum based silicone such as "Napa 8300" (available at most stores).
To apply lubricant to the walking belt:
1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in center of the walking board.
2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6" from the front ofthe treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front
of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.
4. Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.
Spray lubricant from front to back.
