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.

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 located on page 33 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.
MOVING
Your treadmill has 4 transport wheels built into the frame.
To move, make sure the treadmill is folded and securely
latched. To unlock wheels, push down on the top lever of all
4 wheel locks located on the corners of the base frame. Then
firmly grasp the handlebars, and slowly move the treadmill.
After moving to the desired location, push down on the
bottom lever of all 4 wheel locks.
NOTE: All 4 wheels MUST be locked before using the treadmill.
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.

PRECAUTIONS
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.

HEART RATE
HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart
rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping
the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose,
cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure
to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained. (See page 32).
WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER
(Chest strap included with PST8 only)
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your
chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center
the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE:
The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive
an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too
loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic
or inconsistent heart rate readout. WARNING! The heart rate
function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect
the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading
is intended only as an exercise aid.
