IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the
following important safety precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. Position the treadmill on a level surface, with at least 8 feet of clearance behind the
treadmill. Do not place the treadmill on thick carpet, near water or outdoors. Do not
operate where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.
=Plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit carrying 12 or more amps. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit. (See the OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT section
of this manual for proper grounding instructions.) Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces. If an extension cord is required, use only a 14-gauge, general-purpose cord of
six to ten feet in length with a three-wire conductor.
3. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug are damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (Refer to
the BEFORE YOU BEGIN section of this manual if the treadmill is not working properly.)
.Wear appropriate exercise attire when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that
could become caught in the treadmill. Always wear running or aerobic shoes. Never use
the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals. Athletic support clothes
are recommended for both men and women.
5. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrail when exercising on the treadmill.
6. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time. Use the treadmill only as
described in this manual.
7. Keep small children away from the treadmill during operation. Never leave the treadmill
unattended while it is running. Always turh the power off when the treadmill is not in use.
8. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
1Always unplug the power cord before performing the maintenance and adjustment
procedures described in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to
do so by an authorized service representative. Servicing other than the procedures
described in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.
10. This treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed slowly to avoid sudden jumps in
speed.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program consult your physician. This
is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems. Read all instructions before using. Sears assumes no responsibility for personal

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
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 the 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 appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improperconnection of the equipment-grounding conductor 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 the
cutlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Drawing 1. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Drawing 2 may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. 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 properly 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 a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

SILICONE APPLICATION
To maintain the low-friction quality of the walking belt and
reduce treadmill wear, a non-oil, non-petroleum base
silicone lubricant should be applied generously to the
walking platform. (Silicone lubricant is available at most
hardware and automotive stores.) It is very important to
apply silicone lubricant before initial use of the treadmill.
Lubricant should also be applied after every 10 hours of use
or whenever a decrease in performance is noticed. Unplug
the power cord, lift each side of the walking belt and apply
the lubricant generously to the area indicated in the drawing.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
This treadmill is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Outside surfaces of the treadmill can be
cleaned using a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not allow liquids to come in contact
with the console.
WALKING BELT ADJUSTMENT
The walking belt should always be kept centered on the walking platform. If the belt shifts to the right
or left sides of the platform, the belt may be damaged by the roller guard screws. The belt can be
adjusted using the rear roller adjustment bolts and the allen wrench included. CAUTION: ALWAYS
TURN THE POWER OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE WALKING BELT.

a turn. Turn the power on. Repeat as necessary until the
belt does not slip. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts.
Overtightening can stretch the belt, cause excessive roller
noise, and reduce motor performance.
To check the walking belt for proper tension, TURN THE
POWER OFF, and lift the edges of the walking belt. You
should be able to lift each edge 2-3 inches off the walking
platform. The center of the belt should remain just at the
surface of the platform.
The allen wrench can be stored conveniently on the self-
adhesive wrench clip.
ROLLER GUARD A[)JUSTMENT

touching the rear roller. To adjust the roller guards, loosen
the screws in the roller guards, slide the roller guards
forward or backward, and retighten the screws.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program. Remember
that adequate rest and good nutrition are also essential to the success of any fitness program. Before
•beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits from exercising, your level of exertion must exceed mild demands while
falling short of causing breathlessness and fatigue. The proper level of exertion can be determined
using the heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, the heart rate must be maintained at a
level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate: This is your "Training Zone." You can
determine your Training Zone by consulting the table below. Training Zones are listed for both
conditioned and unconditioned persons according to age. Use the column that is appropriate for you.

During the first few weeks of your exercise program, you should keep your heart rate near the low end
of your Training Zone. Over the course of a few months, gradually increase your heart rate until it
reaches the_igh end of your Training Zone. As your condition improves, a greater workload will be
required in order to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone.
