I.IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be followed. Read all
instructions before using this treadmill.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded! If treadmill should malfunction or break down, 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. This plug must be connected to 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 electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service technician 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or injury to persons, take the following
precautions.
DO NOT leave the treadmill unattended at any time when plugged in. Unplug the treadmill
from the power source when it is not in use.
DO NOT use the treadmill if the unit is wet or the plug or cable is damaged or the treadmill is
not working properly. DO NOT use damaged or defective equipment. Keep equipment
out of use until unit is repaired by trained technician.
Keep the power cable and plug away from heated surfaces.
NEVER place the power cord under carpeting or have any object on top of the power cord.
ONLY use the power cord provided with this treadmill.
To disconnect, turn the switch to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.
This exercise equipment is designed and built for optimum safety for the home use. However,
certain precautions always apply whenever you operate any exercise equipment. Be sure to
read the entire manual before assembly and operation of this machine. Also, please note the
following safety precautions.

of the exercise equipment, DO NOT use a faulty device.
Replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
Inspect the equipment prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts are fully tightened
before each use.
DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.

part of the treadmill.

shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes and remove any dirt and
embedded stones.

II. SETTING UP YOUR TREADMILL:
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the treadmill should be placed in a
comfortable and convenient setting. This treadmill is designed to use a minimal amount
of floor space and to fit nicely in your home.
zDO NOT place the treadmill outdoors.
zDO NOT place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.
zMake sure power cord is not in the path of heavy traffic.
zIf your room is carpeted, check the clearance to make sure there is enough space
between the carpet fiber and the treadmill deck. If you are uncertain, it is best to
place a mat beneath your treadmill.
zLocate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.
zAllow a safety area of 5 feet X 3 feet behind the treadmill so that you can easily get
on and off the treadmill without being trapped during an emergency.
Occasionally after extended use you will find a fine black dust below your treadmill. This is
normal wear and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your treadmill. This dust can
be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this dust from getting on your
floor or carpet, place a mat beneath your treadmill.
LEVELING THE BASE
It is important that you place the treadmill on a firm level surface.
Check the treadmill to ensure the frame is level once you have moved the treadmill into
the position of your choice.
USE DEDICATED CIRCUIT
The outlet selected should be a dedicated circuit. It is particularly important that NO
sensitive electrical equipments, such as computer or TV, share the same circuit.
CAUTION!
Make sure the
running deck is level
to the ground.
If the deck is
positioned on uneven
surface, it would
cause premature
damage to the
electronic system.

III. HANDLING YOUR TREADMILL:
FOLDING THE TREADMILL
Folding and unfolding of this treadmill is made easy with the assistance of gas shock.After the
treadmill has come to a complete stop, it is important to make sure the elevation is lowered all
the way to the lowest level before folding the treadmill. The display console will indicate “0%
elevation” in the lower left window when positioned at the lowest level. With caution, fold up the
deck slowly with both hands. Fold the deck vertically upright until you hear a click, then the
folded deck is locked in place. Please note that if you failed to lower the elevation to the lowest
level (0% elevation) then the folding safety lock will not click nor lock in place. Be certain the fold
lock clicks and locks in place,
UNFOLDING THE TREADMILL
Pull out the lock pin on the upright post (L) with your left hand. At the same time, press the
deck slowly with right hand. Use both hands to bring the deck slowly to the ground. As the
deck gets closer to the ground, it will drop at a faster rate and feel heavier. Please handle with
caution.
MOVING THE TREADMILL
This treadmill is easy to move around safely.
To move the treadmill:
1. Turn power switch off.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Make sure the deck is at 0% grade elevation.
4. Fold the treadmill and make sure lock is engaged. You should hear a click to indicate
positive engagement.
5. Simply roll the treadmill on four wheels to the desired location.
STORING THE TREADMILL
For safety precaution, especially when you have children in the house, we recommend that you
follow these steps to keep the treadmill out of potential harm.
1. Turn off the power switch when you have finished workout.
2. Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
3. Remove the safety tether key and store out of reach of children.
