Grounding instructions
This product must be grounded. In the unlikely event that the
treadmill’s electrical system should malfunction or breakdown
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current,
reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-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
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied 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 t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.

10
• Never use the treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur
in your facility power supply that could damage the treadmill’s
components.
• All users should have medical clearance before starting any rigorous
exercise program.
• Start the user at a safe exercise level. Do not allow the user to be
over exerted. Symptoms to watch for, but not limited to, are:
Shortness of breath or diculty in breathing, pain or discomfort,
feeling faint.
• Make sure the user warms up and cools down properly to avoid over
taxing the cardio vascular system. Allow three to ve minutes of
warm up and cool down during each exercise session.

The operator will start the device and use the speed and incline keys
to control motors. When the speed key is pressed a signal is sent to
the AC motor inverter to request a change. The inverter will then send
the appropriate amount of power the AC drive motor to reach the
requested speed. The motor drives the front roller (which in turn
moves the walking belt) through pulleys and fan belt. The incline
motor is operated when the operator presses the incline keys. A
command is generated that is transmitted to the incline control board
where a relay is energized sending AC power to the motor until it
reaches the desired position.

The 7.0 T is an easy product to set up and use, from the adjustments to
the intuitive interface. This section explains how to set up, adjust and
operate your 7.0 T.
Leveling the 7.0 T
Once the 7.0 T is assembled, and placed on a at level oor, it may be
necessary to adjust the four leveling glides on the bottom of the rear
incline unit to ensure proper stability of the 7.0 T. Use a 1/2” wrench
to loosen the top nut of the leveler. Adjust the levelers by hand as
necessary to remove any wobble in the unit. Then tighten the top nut
against the bottom of the stabilizer tube. Make sure the bottom nut
remains cinched against the leveling foot.
Connecting to A.C. power
The 7.0 T A.C. mains input connector is located in the front of the unit.
The input module has an input connector for the line cord, a power
switch and a 20 amp circuit breaker. Turn the power switch to o
when the 7.0 T is not in use.
Lift bar
Vertical adjustment Horizontal adjustment

20
Adjusting the hand rail vertical position
• To lift: Turn both the left and right vertical adjustment knobs
counterclockwise one or two rotations. Then just grab the lift bar
and pull up. The locking pins in the knobs will automatically ratchet
into the indexing holes in the tubes. Tighten the knobs when
desired position is set. There is a numbered scale on the tubes for
repeatable settings.
• To lower: Loosen the two knobs and then pull them out and rotate
slightly until the knob remains out on its own. The pin should now
be disengaged from the tube and you can use the lift bar to lower
the rails. Lower the rail past the position you desire and rotate the
knob again so the pin can engage the holes in the tube. Now lift the
rails to the desired position and lock the knob.
Adjusting the hand rail horizontal position
Turn both the left and right levers counterclockwise one rotation.
Move the rails to the desired position and re-lock the levers. There
are numbered scales on the tubes for repeatable settings. The levers
may be blocked by the rotating tube when position is changed. The
levers can be repositioned by pulling out and rotating them to a new
position, allowing tightening.
Lift bar
The lift bar will make raising and lowering the hand rails easier. You
can remove the lift bars for better patient access by loosening the
locking knobs. Hold the bar with one hand and loosen the knobs with
the other so the lift bar does not suddenly fall to the oor.
Rear step
Additional step lowers the step-up height to 4 inches. To install or
remove the step easily there are two removable pins located under
the rear of the treadmill. Be sure these two pins are in place before
using.
