1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons
with pre-existing health problems.
3. The treadmill is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the treadmill by someone responsible for
their safety.
4. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
5. The treadmill is intended for home use only.
Do not use the treadmill in any commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
6. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
7. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it
and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
8. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
9. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the treadmill at all times.
10. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 400 lbs. (181 kg) or less.
11. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
12. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the
treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women. Always
wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill
with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in
sandals.
13. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included), and plug the surge suppres-
sor into an appropriate outlet (see page 24).
To avoid overloading the circuit, do not plug
other electrical devices, except for low-power
devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the
same circuit.
14. Use only a surge suppressor that meets all
of the specifications described on page 24.
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your
local FREEMOTION dealer, call the telephone
number on the front cover of this manual, or
see your local electronics store.
15. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the
control system of the treadmill. If the control
system is damaged, the walking belt may
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which
may result in a fall and serious injury.
16. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
17. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill
if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if
the treadmill is not working properly. (See
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
on page 41 if the treadmill is not working
properly.)
18. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill
(see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 26). Always wear the clip while using the
treadmill.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before
using your treadmill. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus-
tained by or through the use of this product.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

4
19. Always stand on the foot rails when starting
or stopping the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
20. When a person is walking on the treadmill,
the noise level of the treadmill will increase.
21. Keep fingers, hair, and clothing away from
the moving walking belt.
22. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
23. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
24. Never leave the treadmill unattended while
it is running. Always remove the key, press
the power switch into the off position (see
the drawing on page 8 for the location of the
power switch), and unplug the power cord
when the treadmill is not in use.
25. Do not attempt to move the treadmill until
it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY
on page 10 and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE
THE TREADMILL on page 40.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg) to move the
treadmill.
26. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is holding the
frame securely in the storage position.
27. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
28. Never insert any object into any opening on
the treadmill.
29. Inspect and properly tighten all each time the
treadmill is used.
30. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before clean-
ing the treadmill, and before performing the
maintenance and adjustment procedures
described in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized ser-
vice representative only.
31. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
32. Do not store the television in temperatures
below -40°F (-40°C) or above 140°F (60°C).
Do not operate the television in temperatures
below 23°F (-5°C) or above 90°F (32°C).
33. To protect the treadmill and television dur-
ing lightning storms, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable
system. This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power line surges.
34. If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected, make sure that the antenna or
cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, or
your local codes and ordinances provide
information with respect to proper ground-
ing of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conduc-
tors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

5
35. An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, use extreme care to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.
36. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the cover or the back of the televi-
sion. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
37. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the treadmill or the television, ask the ser-
vice technician to perform safety checks to
confirm that the unit is in proper operating
condition.
38. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2)
copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger as
a ground wire.
39. Secure an antenna lead-in and ground wires
to the house with stand-off insulators spaced
from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83 m) apart.
40. Mount an antenna discharge unit as close
as possible to where the lead-in enters the
house.
41. Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6
AWG (13.3 mm2) copper, or the equivalent,
when a separate antenna-grounding elec-
trode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j) or
your local codes and ordinances.
42. Note to CATV system installer: This reminder
is provided to call the CATV system install-
er’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC or
your local codes and ordinances that provide
guidelines for proper grounding and, in par-
ticular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
