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 HORIZON FITNESS Treadmill
WARNING ! 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.
DANGER ! 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 220-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated below may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a properly grounded out-
let is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a proper-
ly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.

exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing.
• Do not wear clothing that might catch on any part of the Treadmill.

To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your treadmill, it is strongly rec-

use of an additional extension cord.
It is essential that your treadmill is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your
treadmill has been exposed to colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly
recommended that the treadmil is warmed up to room temperature before first time use.
Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE USE !
CAUTION ! There are several areas during the assembly process of a Horizon
Fitness treadmill 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 assem-
bly 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 han-
dlebars. 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 cor-
rective actions should be taken.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, ALWAYS CONSULT
YOUR PHYSICIAN. IF YOU EXPERIENCE CHEST PAINS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN
BEFORE CONTINUING.

MOVING
Your Horizon Fitness treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built into the base frame. To
move, make sure the treadmill is folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the han-
dlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll. CAUTION ! 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 upright, folded position with the lock latch secured. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in injury.
FOOT LOCK-LATCH
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the treadmill deck to 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: on some models the foot
lock latch might be on the right hand side. NOTE: when folding the Horizon Fitness
Treadmill the console assembly will tilt away from you, but will return when fully folded
in the upright position. Please allow two additional feet from wall when folding.

LEVELING
The treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the treadmill where
you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located on the treadmill base
frame. Once you have leveled the treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts
against the frame. To assure the treadmill is level, a carpenter's level is recommended.
TURN POWER ON
Make sure that your treadmill is properly connected to a power outlet. The on/off switch is
located next to the power cord. Flip this switch to the 'on' position, so that the switch is lit.
You will hear a beep and the console will light up.
SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed on the safety key holder. Attach
the clip end securely to your clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the
treadmill if you should fall. 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.
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!
