IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To redUce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read
the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
.Position the treadmill on a level surface, with at least 8 feet of clearance behind the tread-
mill. Do not place the treadmill near water, outdoors or on a surface that blocks any air
opening. Do not operate where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being admin-
istered.
.When connecting the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7),
plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 12 or more amps.
No other appliances should be on the same circuit. Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 14-gauge general-purpose cord of five
feet or less in length with a three-wire conductor.
3. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the
power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See the BEFORE
YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)
4. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch from the rear roller. Turn the power off and adjust the
roller guards, if necessary.
.Wear appropriate exercise attire when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that
could become caught in the treadmill. Always wear running shoes. Never use the treadmill
with bare feet, wearing only stockings or in sandals. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women.
.
.

only by persons weighing 250 pounds or less.
Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always h01d the
handrails when exercising on the treadmill.
8. Keep small children away from the treadmill at all times. Never leave the treadmill unattend-
ed while it is running. Always remove the safety key when the treadmill is not in use.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a maintenance-free walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-
performance lubricant. During the first few hours of use, it is normal for a small amount of white powder
to appear on the foot rails and the walking platform. The white powder is high-performance lubricant
from the walking belt.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking
platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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. Plug the power cord 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 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 out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Drawing 1. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Drawing 2 may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. 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 electrician to
determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

ning on the treadmill. To decrease the incline, stand
toward the front of the foot rails, lean forward and pull up
the lever. When the desired incline is reached, release the
lever. To increase the incline, stand toward the back of
the foot rails and pull up the lever. When the desired
