ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of thepacking materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires your own Phillips screw-
driver (_'====- and rubber mallet
t
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top ofthe walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simplywipe off
the lubricantwith a softcloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position.
While a second person tips the treadmill to one side
slightly and holdsit, insertone of the Extension Legs (103)
into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension
Leg is tumed so the Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.
Next, tip the treadmillto the other side and insertthe
other Extension Leg (not shown) inthe same way. Lower
the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs
(103) are restingflat on the floor.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
treadmill frame and then tip the Uprights (82) down as
shown. Make sure that the Extension Legs (103) re-
main in the Uprights.
Attach each Extension Leg (103) with two of the four
Screws (101) and aBase Pad (114) as shown.
Note: One replacement Base Pad (114) and Spacer (not
shown) are included. If a Base Pad becomes wom and
needs tobe replaced, use the replacement Base Pad. If
aThick Base Pad (97) needs to be replaced, use the re-
placement Base Pad with the Spacer. ,101

side of the post is not used. Note: If there is only one
hole in the top of the post, tighten the third Small
Screw into the hole in the left side of the post.
Identify the Left Foam Grip (t 19), which has a large
cutout in the right side. Slide the Left Foam Gripas far as
possible onto the post on the left Upright (82). Itmay be
helpfulto apply soapy water to theHandrail Extension(85).
5. Make sure that the front edge of the Left Foam Gdp (11O)
is under the Console Base (87) as shown. Tightena
Small Screw (76) intothe side of the Left Foam Gripas
shown. Note: You may need to pull out on the side ofthe
Foam Gdp slightlyto align the Small Screw withthe hole
in the Upright (82).
Attach the Right Foam Grip (not shown) and the other
Handra, Extension (not shown) as descn'bed in step 4
and this step.
Note: There may be extra screws after assembly is
completed.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUI3E TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance 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
electronic 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 a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
SEARS or call toll-free 1-800-3667278 and order
part number 146148. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listedas a transient voltage
_'rge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 voltsor
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electdca]ly rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product must be grounded. If it should maltuno-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electdc current to reduce the dsk of elec
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment_jrounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into asurge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCl-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on anominal120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus
trated in drawing 1 below. A t_ry adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor toa 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2if a propedy
grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
pmpedy grounded outlet (drawing1) can be installed
by a qualified electdcian.
The green-colored rigidear, lug, or the _ke 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 elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover Is
grounded before using an adapter.
