TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INjURY
TO PERSONS:
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

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your treadmill, it is

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.
Once the banding straps have been removed, do not lift or transport this unit unless it is fully assembled
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

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.
WARNING

6 feet
3 feet
1 foot
WARNING
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 31 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.
UNFOLDING
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 at 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.
