1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
7. Do not operate the treadmill until it is prop-
erly assembled (see ASSEMBLY on page 7).
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
9. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
10. The treadmill should not be used by persons

pressor (not included) and plug the surge
suppressor into a grounded circuit capable
of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appli-
ance should be on the same circuit. Do not

suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
15. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
16. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged or if the

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the included
hex key and your own adjustable wrench .
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
shows the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preat-
tached to one of the parts to be assembled. Extra hardware may be included. To avoid damaging plastic
parts, do not use power tools for assembly.
