Assembly
1. Remove top cover of box, and break
the sides of the box to create a level
assembly surface. After opening the box,
remove any packing material from the
treadmill. Carefully cut the strap sur-
rounding the treadmill, only while the
treadmill is laying flat.
2. Locate the left upright. Connect the
console harness together. One side of
harness is located near the motor cover
on the bottom left side. The other end is
located inside the left upright.
Slide the left upright onto the base frame.
Secure the left upright to the base frame
by using four bolts M10x25 and four wash-
ers 10.
Figure 2: Left Upright Installation
Assembly requires the included Allen wrench and Phillips screwdriver. Leave the unit on the
original packing material to assemble all parts.
Do not plug in the power cord until all assembly steps are completed.

Moving Instructions
Caution! To Avoid The Risk Of Injury, Never Attempt To Move The Treadmill While It
Is In The Unfolded Operating Position.
With the treadmill in the folded locked position (safety latch is engaged) grasp the handlebars
and simply start rolling to desired location. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over an
uneven or rough surface.

11
Power Requirements
Improper connection of the equipment grounding connector can result in a risk of an
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service man if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product. If plug will does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical
power. Voltage spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or
from other appliances being turned on or off. To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage,
always use a dedicated surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends
a single outlet surge protector with UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor
(TVSS) with UL suppressed voltage rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC,
15 amps.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill
comes with an electrical cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. Do not connect other equipment to the surge protector or this could cause permanent
damage to your treadmill.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in the drawing below.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to
work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this tar-
get as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your
maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from
one person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For
example, the maximum heart rate for an average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart
rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety below.
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly
against your neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count
the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your
pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your heart rate at these times; at rest, after
warming up, during your workout and two minutes into your cool down, to accurately track
your progress as it relates to better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part
of the target heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.
According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenu-
ous unless you are in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result
in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop
exercising, or if it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have
been too strenuous for your current fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A
variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other condi-
tions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care
professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and
condition.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHR)
MHR x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHR x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as
follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHR)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHR)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.

TARGET HEART RATE ZONE

Workout Information
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Target Heart Rate Zone
The exercise practices include four major variables: frequency, intensity, time, target heart rate
zone. A continuous workout will help to improve your cardiovascular functions and increase the
ability of your muscles to obtain the oxygen and nutrition. A good workout provides a greater
advantage to extend the endurance of muscle and body flexibility.
Frequency: How Often Should You Exercise
Three to five times a week is highly suggested to improve your cardiovascular and muscle fit-
ness.
Intensity: How Hard Should You Exercise
The intensity of an exercise is reflected in your heart rate. Exercise must be sufficient to
strengthen your heart muscle and condition your cardiovascular system. Only your doctor or
an authorized coach can prescribe the target training heart range appropriate for your particular
needs and physical condition.
Start with an exercise that stimulates you to breathe more deeply. Alternate periods of mod-
erate and easy exercise to help your body adapt to new levels of exertion without unnecessary
strain. The inability to maintain a smooth, rhythmic motion is a sign that your pace and/or your
elevation is too high . If you feel out of breath before you have exercised 12 minutes, you are
probably overdoing it.
As your fitness level improves, you will need to increase your workload to reach your target
heart rate. The first increase may be necessary after two to four weeks of regular exercise.
Never exceed your target heart rate zone.
Weight Management
Consistent aerobic exercise will help you change your body composition by lowering your per-
centage of body fat. For weight control, how long and how often you exercise is more important
than how hard you exercise.
 Exercise at least four to five times a week.
 Reach and maintain 60-75% of your maximum heart rate with moderate exercise.
 Exercise for 30-45 minutes at 60-65% of your target heart rate.
Here are some tips to achieve your weight management goal.
 Consume most of your dietary calories at breakfast and lunch, and eat a light dinner.
 Do not eat anything near the bedtime.
 Moderate exercise will help suppress your appetite.
 Take regular breaks and rests to help increase metabolism.
Warning!
If you have any questions or concerns about your target heart rate, consult your physician.
Medications may affect your heart rate. Stop exercise if: you feel faint or dizzy, acute illness
(cold or fever), any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat, of if you exceed
your maximum heart rate set by your physician.
