IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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 Horizon Fitness 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 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 outlet 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 properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

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 30 in this manual. Never step onto the treadmill when it is moving more than 0.5 mph. 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 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.

is folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll. CAUTION ! Our Tread-
mills are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Do not attempt to move or transport treadmill

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 ex-
cessive 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 elimi-
nate 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 sensa-
tion is gone.
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the fac-
tory 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 adjust-
ment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt re-
mains 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.
