Basic Guidelines for Setting Up Your Treadmill
After removing the treadmill from the packaging, place your treadmill on a clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord
easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet and has enough slack to allow the deck to incline without tightening the cord.
Do not allow the treadmill assembly to rest on the cord.
Important Electrical Requirements 110V s
nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 110V AC 15 amp requirement, but you
must ensure the treadmill does not share the circuit with anything else.
Important Electrical Requirements 220V (INTERNATIONAL ONLY)
ns
nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit.
Danger: Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet.
The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by helpingto prevent shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the treadmill is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the treadmill if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury, it is imperative to connect each product to a properly grounded
ck with a
qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will
not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Your Mobility Research product must be properly
grounded to reduce risk of shock if the treadmill malfunctions. Your treadmill is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter cannot be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded 120 Volt/20 Amp outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.

POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR GAITKEEPER PRODUCTS
Read and understand all instructions on this sheet
power cord into an electrical outlet. This informa-
tion sheet will help you identify the voltage and
cords you need where you live and will outline
requirements for:
Voltage
Power cords
Power adapters
Extension cords
NOTE:
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with qualified electrician or service
provider if you are in doubt as to whether the
equipment is properly grounded or installed on a
dedicated line. Seek qualified electrician to per-
form any modifications to the cord or plug. Mobil-
ity Research is not responsible for any injuries or
damages as a result of cord or plug modification.
CAUTION! Place cords away from heat (such as baseboards).
Use care to arrange any cord so it does not be-
come an obstacle.
Extension Cords
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to
any GaitKeeper product.
GaitKeeper equipment must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. Gait-
Keeper cords (except for cycle adapters) have an
equipment grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances where you live. Do not use a ground
plug adapter to adapt the power cord to a non-
grounded outlet. Do not use a GFCI outlet or GFCI
circuit breaker. A dedicated line will assure that
adequate power is available for safe operation
over the life of your GaitKeeper Product
Voltage
Voltage required for your unit is located on the
serial number decal (usually on the front of the
unit). Depending on where you live voltage re-
quirements differ.
and 2000T treadmills require a dedicated circuit rated 115
VAC, 60 Hz and 15 amps. See Figure 1. However, a home

Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the
treadmill as described here could void the Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the
unit from its powersource before cleaning or performing anymaintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the treadmill daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and
any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service.
IMPORTANT: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used
inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then let users know that the treadmill needs service.
Cleaning the Equipment:
MOBILITY RESEARCH recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and
water to dampen asoft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. Thishelps remove any dust or dirt.
Clean the display console regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper
towels, ammonia oracid based cleaners. *
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely
before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt,
which canaffect the smooth operation of the unit.
*When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be
applied directly to any part of the equipment; use nonabrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the unit.
Long Term Storage:
When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure the power cord is unplugged from
the power source and position the power and data cords so that they will not become damaged or interfere
withpeople or otherequipment.
TREADBELT LUBRICATION
For average use of the treadmill, we recommend you lubricate under the tread belt once per year. For heavy
use, which is more than 10 hours per week, we recommend that you lubricate every six months. Contact
