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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

ASSEMBLY
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 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.

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 handlebars, 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!
