BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Congratulations on choosing your treadmill! You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining
an exercise program! Your treadmill is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness
goals. Regular use of your treadmill can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you eliminate
obstacles that prevent you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won’t interfere with your
workout when you use your treadmill in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic
information for using and enjoying your new machine.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
Place the treadmill on a level surface. We advise there should be 6 feet of
clearance behind the treadmill, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front
for folding and the power cord. Do not place the treadmill in any area that
will block any vent or air openings. The treadmill should not be located in a
garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.
SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to your
clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation
of the safety key every 2 weeks.
WARNING
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
While you are preparing to use the treadmill,
do not stand on the belt. Place your feet on the
side rails before starting the treadmill. Start
walking on the belt only after the belt has
begun to move. Never start the treadmill at a
fast running speed and attempt to jump on! 6 feet
3 feet3 feet
1foot
WARNING Never use the treadmill without securing the safety key clip to your clothing.
Pull on the safety key clip first to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
PROPER USAGE
Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the
speed in small increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is
running. When not in use, remove the safety key, turn the on/off switch to off and unplug the power cord.
Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule located towards the back of this manual. Keep your body
and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backwards while the treadmill is running.
Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath.
FOOT LATCH
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill.
Carefully lift the end of the treadmill deck into the
upright position until the FOOT LATCH engages
and securely locks the deck into position. Make
sure the deck is securely latched before letting
go. To unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the
treadmill. Gently press the FOOT LATCH with your
foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully
lower the deck to the ground.
MOVING
Your treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built
into the frame. To move, make sure the treadmill
is folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp
the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll.
NOTE: Do not attempt to disassemble and
transport treadmill.
WARNING Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged.
If the treadmill appears to not be working properly, do not use the treadmill.
WARNING
Our Treadmills are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when
moving. Do not attempt to move or transport treadmill unless it is in the upright,
folded position with the lock latch secured. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in injury.

ASSEMBLY
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment. Before operating the
treadmill, make sure the belt is centered and remains
centered to maintain smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph while
centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing away from
belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right
adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at a time (using
the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment.
Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment
is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains
centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right
adjustment bolt counter- clockwise 1/4 TURN at a
time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt
alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more
adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the
belt remains centered during use.
Note: There is a thin protective sheet of clear plastic on the overlay of the console that should be removed.
Belt is too far to the right side
Belt is too far to the left side
TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during
tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt can
cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never overtighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the
treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most
cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the
belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment.
To eliminate this slipping, TURN THE TREADMILL OFF
and tension BOTH THE REAR ROLLER BOLTS using the
supplied Allen wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the
right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for
slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the
roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly
tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.
