GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If a treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and
ordinances.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly.
Never operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been immersed in water.
Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.

DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service provider 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 product is for use on a nominal 110-120 Volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make sure
thatthe product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and
observe if any other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit. Note: There are usually multiple outlets on one circuit.
Thistreadmill should be used with a minimum 15-amp circuit.

HOW TO PROGRAM AND USE CUSTOM INTERVAL BUTTONS
The programmable interval buttons located on the pulse rate grips are designed to help you customize this machine to match whatever
workout you like to do the most.1
The LEFT and RIGHT INTERVAL BUTTONS are programmable for speed and incline.
To program the INTERVAL button, you must select a user, start the machine, set the desired speed and incline, press and hold the
desired INTERVAL button for three seconds until the treadmill beeps. Now the INTERVAL button is programmed to your settings. After
programming the INTERVAL button, it will remember the setting for that user until reprogrammed.
Now when the INTERVAL button is pressed, the treadmill speed and incline will change to the settings you programmed for that button.
The most common type of workout these keys will help with is interval training. We suggest programming one of the INTERVAL buttons to
your high intensity segments and the other to your recovery segments.
Another common use is to set one INTERVAL button to your warm up and cool down settings and the other to your desired workout
settings.
These buttons should allow you to customize the settings of your treadmill to quickly fit the type of workout you enjoy most.
