OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
_'HEPERFORMANT LUBE r=WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-pedormance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
_lectronic equipment, can be sedously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use asurge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed yoltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
_utlet that is properly installed and grounded in
_ccordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. Atemporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustratedin drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a pmpedy
grounded outlet is not available.

&_,,_da.__, pter Surge Suppressor
I
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a propedy grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact aqualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover Is
grounded before using an adapter.

position, and then lower it. CAUTION: Before exercis-
Iing, push on the back of the treadmill to make sure
that the incline legs are locked in posilci0n. Do not
place objects under the treadmill to change the In-
cline; change the incline only as described above.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at
1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays).
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON
at Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged
intoa properly grounded outlet (see page 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449
listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed
voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor
must be electdcally rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. See step
1 on page 9.
C. Check the cimuit breaker locatedon the treadmill near the
power cord. If the switch protrudesas shown, the circuit
breaker has tdpped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five
minutes and then press the switch back in. c
Tripped Reset
2. SYMPTOM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE
a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 1. c. above), if the circuit
breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in.
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. See step 1 on page 9.
d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.
3. SYMPTOM: THE DISPLAYS OFTHE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Check the batteries in the console. See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 8. Most problems are the result
of drained batteries.
b. Remove the six screws from the hood. Carefully remove the
hood. Locate the Reed Switch (86) and the Magnet (87) on the
left side of the Pulley (85). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is
aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that the gap between
the Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8". If necessary,
loosen the Screw (35) and move the Reed Switch slightly.
Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood, and run the treadmill
for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
