SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this treadmill. When using an electrical product, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this treadmill. It is the
responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings
and precautions. If you have any questions after reading this manual, contact Customer Tech Support at the
number listed on the back panel of this manual.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding
instructions.
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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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-volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration
to the right. 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. It is recommended that the treadmill be used
with a 20 amp circuit for optimal performance.

ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: READ THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
During the assembly process of the treadmill there are several areas that special attention must be paid.
It is very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly
tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the treadmill could have frame parts that
are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. There should be no side-to-side play
in the console masts or any forward and back play in the console assembly or handlebars. If there is any
play in these areas, the treadmill has not been properly assembled. To prevent damage to the treadmill, the
assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.
UNPACKING
Place the treadmill carton on a level flat surface. It is recommended that you place a protective covering on
your floor. Take CAUTION when handling and transporting this unit. Never open box when it is on its side.

and in the upright folded position, with the lock latch secure. Unpack the unit where it will be used. Never
grab hold of any portion of the incline frame and attempt to lift or move the treadmill. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY!
Before proceeding, find your treadmill’s serial number

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.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
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.
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
Place the treadmill on a level surface. 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.
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!
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.
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 in 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.
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.
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully
lift the end of the treadmill deck into the upright
position until the foot lock 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 down on the foot lock latch with your foot until
the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck
to the ground. NOTE: The foot lock latch is located
on the bottom left side of the deck.
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.
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.

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.
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 over-tighten 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.
