ASSEMBLY
Make sure that the power cord is unplugged. Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared
area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly iscompleted. 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 of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal con-
dition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the
lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included allen wrenches _ and your own phillips screwdriver (_]_======_
and wire cutters _ _

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE=LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant, iMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
an equipment-grounding 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 a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously 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 asurge suppressor, see
your local Sears store or call 1=800=366=7278 and
order part number 146148, or see your local elec=
tronics store.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup=
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be amoni=
toting light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could result
in damage to the control system of the treadmill, if
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect=
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If itshould malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

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 elec=
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
