INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing PaceMaster – your partner in achieving your fitness goals and mastering your well-being.
PaceMaster’s advanced digital technology allows your treadmill to process information instantly, anticipating and adjusting to meet your
needs. Think of it as your own personal trainer.
PaceMaster’s superior components and US manufacture ensure we produce treadmills of the highest quality while also offering excellent
value for your dollar. PaceMaster treadmills have consistently received praise from a wide range of nationally recognized publications.
To get the most from your PaceMaster, please read this owner’s manual carefully before starting to use the treadmill. The manual contains
important information about the assembly, operation and maintenance of the machine.
Please ensure you read and fully understand all safety information. DANGER, CAUTION, or WARNING indicates
important safety warnings throughout the manual. Failure to read and understand these warnings may result in personal injury or damage
to your treadmill.
Tip indicates a useful suggestion when installing, maintaining or using your treadmill.
Your PaceMaster treadmill is capable of varying your workout by changing speed, incline and time. It can also measure the effect of your
workout in a number of different ways. For example “Aerobic Points” (see page 28) is a well tested method to set workout goals based on a
desired level of overall fitness. Your PaceMaster treadmill can automatically calculate Aerobic Points for you. In this way your treadmill acts
like your own personal trainer.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the range of functions available. This will help you work with your PaceMaster treadmill for
maximum efficiency to achieve your fitness goals and master your well-being.
We wish you an enjoyable and rewarding partnership with your PaceMaster treadmill.
This treadmill is in compliance with EN 957-2 class H.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
Installation Requirements
Your PaceMaster should be installed indoors on a flat, level surface near a 120Volt/ 15Amp outlet. PaceMaster requires a dedicated, non-
switched outlet, that is not part of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit, preferably no more than 5 feet from the outlet to eliminate the
need for an extension cord. You must have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any wall or obstruction.
TIP: If you are installing your PaceMaster on a carpeted surface, use a treadmill mat or a scrap piece of carpet underneath the treadmill to
avoid soiling of the carpet. Deep pile carpet is not recommended.
Tools Required for Assembly
•3/16" Allen wrench, t-handle (supplied)
•7/32” Allen wrench (supplied)
•7/16” combination wrench
•Phillips head screwdriver
•Slotted Head Screwdriver
Grounding Instructions
DANGER: This product must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or
become inoperable, 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. See example to the right.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding-conductor can result in a risk of electrical 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 outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is rated for more than 15
amperes and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts. It is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to
permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Attempting to bypass it with an adapter or in any way defeating its purpose can
result in a serious shock hazard.
As a safety precaution, unplug the treadmill during electrical storms or if the treadmill will not be in use for periods greater than one week.
CAUTION: If you need to use an extension cord it must be a 14 gauge, three wire cord, no longer than 12 feet.

Testing Your Treadmill
Your PaceMaster has been adjusted and tested at the factory. However, due to changes that can occur during shipment, it should be
tested prior to use. Once you have assembled your treadmill and it is located where it will be used, proceed as follows. (Do not make any
adjustments unless necessary.) For the purpose of this test, DO NOT stand on the tread belt. Once tested, always start and finish
on the tread belt.
Follow the steps below to confirm proper operation of your treadmill after assembly.
Step One:
After your treadmill is in place and plugged in to the wall outlet, insert the magnetic safety key into the recess on the control panel.
Step Two:
Press the Incline buttons to set your weight, and then press the (ENTER) button.
Step Three:
Set the workout speed by pressing the SPEED button until the SPEED display shows 2.5 mph.
Step Four:
Press the START (QUICK) button. Within a few seconds, the tread belt will begin to move. The speed display will flash until the tread belt
has reached the set speed.
Step Five:
After the treadmill has reached 2.5 mph, observe the tread belt to make sure it is reasonably centered and remains centered for 3 minutes.
If the tread belt is not reasonably centered, press the STOP button and refer to “Centering the Tread Belt” in the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual. Once the tread belt is reasonably centered, run the treadmill again at 6.0 mph for 5 minutes to be
sure it remains centered. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE TREADMILL UNATTENDED DURING THIS PROCEDURE.
Step Six:
To test the elevation, the tread belt must be moving. Press the incline up button to raise the elevation to 5% incline. The elevation
will be displayed in the INCLINE display window. Once it reaches 5%, press the incline down button to reduce the incline to 0%. If
the treadmill does not elevate, or displays “Err” in the incline display consult the troubleshooting section of this manual.
Step Seven:
Press STOP (RESET) you are now ready to use your treadmill.

THE PACEMASTER PLATINUM PROCLUB CONTROL PANEL
Although your PaceMaster has many advanced features to provide versatility in meeting exercise needs, basic operation is extremely
easy. Basic operation involves setting your TIME and SPEED goals, then pressing the START button. Your PaceMaster will gradually
accelerate to the set speed, maintain that speed until the timer counts to zero and then gradually come to a complete stop. During your
exercise, your time remaining, current speed and incline, distance traveled, calories burned, Aerobic Points earned, and heart rate are
displayed.
MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY - The MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY, with its cord and garment clip, is an important safety feature. It is also the
ON/OFF switch. To power up your treadmill, first attach the garment clip to your clothing at waist level then insert the MAGNETIC
SAFETY KEY into the round recess on the control panel. This MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY provides a means of powering down the treadmill
in an emergency situation. This treadmill will not operate unless the MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY is engaged. During exercise, an
emergency stop can be made at any time by pulling on the cord to release the key from its slot.
CAUTION: Using the key to stop the treadmill is an emergency procedure only! To end your exercise routine normally, press
the STOP button or allow the timer to count down to zero. Once the belt has come to a complete stop, remove the MAGNETIC SAFETY
KEY to turn off the treadmill. When not in use, store the MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.
BUTTONS
INCLINE ▲and ▼– 1) When the safety magnetic key is inserted, the Set Weight LED light will flash, prompting you to set
your weight. Use these buttons to adjust weight, then press ENTER. 2) Once the user weight has been entered, use these buttons to
increase or decrease INCLINE in 0.5% increments to simulate exercising up hill. INCLINE can be changed at any time during your
workout. At the end of your workout, the INCLINE setting will automatically return to 0%.
Note: If the magnetic safety key is removed, the incline will not return to 0%. This automatic feature will only occur if the program time has
run out or if the STOP key is pressed.
SPEED + and −Use these buttons to increase or decrease SPEED in 0.1 mph increments. SPEED can be adjusted at
any time during your workout.
Note: Because the treadmill’s computer controls the SPEED during the warm up and cool down phases of your workout., these buttons are
inoperable in those modes.
