each machine. The treadmill ships with the appropriate cord and plug to permit
connection to the proper electric circuit. The treadmill must be plugged into an
outlet designated to accept the appropriate plug and voltage configuration. Do
not, under any circumstances, use an adaptor to make this connection. Do not
modify the plug provided with the treadmill. If it will not fit the outlet, contact an
electrician to have the circuit and outlet changed to accept the plug. The voltage

1. Lift the treadmill from the rear. Locate the handle
below the rear roller. Grab the bar with both hands and
lift. It is recommended that two people lift the treadmill
together.
2. Move treadmill into position in the facility. Make
sure that the floor is flat and level, with no bumps or
level changes, where the treadmill is.
3. Power up the treadmill. Plug the treadmill in and turn
on treadmill using the power switch, which is located
near the front right corner of the treadmill. Be certain
that the power cord is routed to the front of the tread-
mill and that it is clear of the liftframe. The treadmill will
automatically adjust to its ‘home’ position.
4. Check level on the right side. Place a carpenter’s
level on the right side rail to determine if the right side
is level.
5. Locate the right side leg. The top nut on the leg is
the level-locking nut (26mm), the bottom nut is the
level-adjusting nut (22mm).

tion bolt one eighth-turn. To shift the walking belt to the
left, loosen the left retention bolt one eighth-turn, and
then tighten the right retention bolt one eighth-turn.
Adjust the belt tracking until the belt is centered on the
rear roller.
