Treadmill Location
Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup process. In order to easily move the
treadmill, lift up on the rear of the treadmill base and push the treadmill forward on the front wheels.
Adjusting the Levelers
Your treadmill has a right and left leveler attached to the rear base of the treadmill.
The levelers act as feet. After placing your treadmill in the desired location, adjust
levelers so that both levelers are touching the floor and so that the treadmill is
completely stable. To adjust the levelers, loosen the jam nut and turn the leveler leg
until the rocking motion or instability ceases and both levelers rest firmly on the floor.
Note: It is extremely important that the levelers be correctly adjusted for proper
operation of the treadmill. An unbalanced unit may cause the striding belt to be
misaligned.
Electrical Requirements
Most Life Fitness Treadmills are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada.
Below is a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the
treadmill model supports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet.
