Important Operating Safety Instructions
WARNING: Failure to observe the following operating instructions can result in serious
injury!
1 If you are suffering from any illness, condition, or disability which affects your ability to
run, walk or exercise, do not use this product without consulting your doctor first.
2 If you are suffering from any illness, condition, or disability which affects your ability to
run, walk or exercise, do not use this product without supervision present. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury should you fall while the treadbelt is moving.
3 Failure to leave ample clearance around the treadmill could result in the user becoming
trapped between the treadmill and a wall, resulting in burns or other serious injury from
the moving treadbelt.
Allow a minimum clearance of 18 inches on each side of the treadmill.
Allow a minimum clearance of 4 feet at the rear of the treadmill.
4 Never stand on the treadbelt when starting the treadmill. A sudden start could cause you
to lose your balance. Always stand with one foot on each side rail until the belt starts
moving.
5 Always wear the emergency stop safety strap securely around your wrist while
exercising. Failure to do so can result in severe injuries should you accidentally fall while
exercising.
6 Test the emergency stop safety key on a regular basis by pulling on the cord and
ensuring that the treadbelt comes to a complete stop.
7 Always remove the safety key from the treadmill when you are through exercising,
especially if children are present. This will prevent them from accidentally starting the
treadmill.
8 Be sure to familiarize yourself with the owner manual. Look it over carefully. Be sure you
understand the control panel operation before using the treadmill.

DANGER
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet
immediately after using. Always unplug the treadmill before cleaning or removing the
motor cover.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1 Treadmill should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not
in use.
2 Close supervision is necessary when this unit is used by or near children or disabled
persons.
3 Use this treadmill only for its intended use as described in this manual.
4 Do not operate this treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it
has been damaged. Call your selling dealer immediately for examination and repair.
5 Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Be sure the line cord has plenty of
slack and does not get pinched underneath the treadmill when it elevates and lowers. If
an extension cord must be used do not use one longer than 6 feet with 12 gauge wire.
6 Never operate the treadmill with the air openings blocked. Keep the air openings free of
lint, hair, and the like.
7 Never drop or insert any object into any opening. Be sure no objects are near or
underneath the moving treadbelt when using the treadmill.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered.
10 Connect this appliance to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not use a GFI outlet.
11 To disconnect, press the OFF button, remove the SAFETY LANYARD, and unplug the
unit from the wall outlet.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. We do not recommend using a GFI outlet.
120 Volt Treadmills (15 Amp dedicated line)
Treadmills marked 120 VAC are intended for use in a nominal 120-volt circuit with a
grounding plug. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

9
200 - 250 Volt Treadmills (15 Amp dedicated line)
Treadmills marked 200-250 VAC are intended for use on a circuit having a nominal rating
more than 120V and are factory-equipped with a specific cord and plug to permit connection
to a proper electric circuit. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must
be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made
by qualified service personnel.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding connector 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 in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

8700 COMMERCIAL LOWER WIRING SCHEMATIC

LED (light emitting diode) configurations: SCR lower board
The SCR lower board is designed with diagnostic LED lights. The LED’s are color coded according to
their specific function. Green indicates a properly operating treadmill; the green lights should always
be ON when power is supplied to the treadmill. Yellow indicates a treadmill function. Red indicates a
treadmill malfunction. Here is a list of each LED and what it signifies:
MOTOR (yellow) – The MOTOR LED illuminates when dc (direct current) voltage is sent to the drive
motor. The LED gets brighter when the dc output is increased.
RLC (yellow) – The RLC (R = Reactance / L = Inductance / C = Capacitance) LED illuminates when
the filtering system is properly working. The filtering system includes the capacitor and filter choke. If
there is a short in either component then the RLC light will not come on.
DN & UP (yellow) – The DN and UP LED lights tell us if the elevation DN and UP relays are
functioning properly. When the LED lights, it tells us that the relay has energized and is sending high
voltage (110vac or 220vac) to the elevation motor.
AC PWR (green) – The AC PWR (Alternating Current Power) illuminates when AC line voltage is
delivered to the treadmill. It then passes through the in-line fuse (110)/s(220) and lights the AC PWR
LED.
+12V (green) – When the proper AC voltage is delivered to the treadmill, passes through the in-line
fuse/s, through the full wave bridge rectifier (changes AC to DC), through the transformer (steps down
DC to +12vdc) then the +12V LED lights.

20
C. LIM (red) – The C.LIM or Current Limit LED should NEVER come on. This diagnostic light is used
to determine the condition of the treadbelt and deck. The SCR board has a built-in amp meter. When
the treadbelt belt and deck system wears, the amperage will increase. When this amperage reaches
its max limit, the lower board will shut down its power (treadbelt will slow down / low torque) to the
drive motor and the C.LIM LED will illuminate.
SPD (yellow) – The SPD LED flashes on and off (relative to speed) when the speed sensor is
operating properly.
GRD (red) – The GRD LED should NEVER come on. It illuminates only when the elevation
potentiometer becomes out of calibration.
SERIAL (red) – The SERIAL LED should NEVER come on. It illuminates only when there is a serial
error. This could be a loose or pushed pin on the main wire harness.
+5V (green) – The +5V light comes on when there is power going to the Upper Display. If the light is
not on check wire harness for connections. If it ‘s not the wire harness then the MCB is defective.
