WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any
appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any
moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%)
or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered
under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a
licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors,
near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40
degrees c, and humidity is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that
can occur when a treadmill is first turned on or even during normal use. If your treadmill is tripping the
house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the
treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is
not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control. This part is
available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online
at www.squared.com part # QO120HM.
This product must be grounded. If 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 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 outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 220-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown
below) 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.

●NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of
any operational change you request from the computer.
●Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired
speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey
the command gradually.
●NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your
household power supply that could damage treadmill components.
●Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as
watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or
stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury.
●NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. Treadmills start with at a
very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on
the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.
Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed,
etc.).
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function
properly with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster
or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure
contact your dealer.
A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be
used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.
To Use:
1. Place the magnet into position on the console control head. Your treadmill will not start
and operate without this.
2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note:
The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip
should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function
and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast
anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch in normal
operation.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of
exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of
heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that
their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is
much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your
Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220
minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your
age. To determine
the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your
MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of
your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular
system. This 60% to
80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old
their target heart rate zone is
calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute
(60% of
maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute
(80% of
maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be
108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation
automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating
your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training
for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above
represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The
training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two
different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the
bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight
loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or
60%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician.
Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.

16
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more
variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level,
physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate
and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to
your body, it will tell you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by
Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending
upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows: Rating
Perception of Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very,very light
8 Very,very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18 Very hard +
19 Very,very hard
20 Maximal
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each
rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per
minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major
benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your
pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the
RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a
break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and
you will train at the proper level for that day.

17
NOTE: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
BELT & DECK
Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is
kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the
belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly
under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed life. A mild soap
and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow
to dry before using.
BELT DUST
This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Sometimes the black dust from
The belt will appear on the floor behind the treadmill, this is normal.
GENERAL CLEANING
Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. Please vacuum
underneath your treadmill on a monthly basis to prevent excess build-up of dirt that can get
sucked up and get into the inner workings under the motor cover. Once a year, you should
remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER
CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important
though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6 mm Allen wrench (132) provided in
the parts package. The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the
diagram below. Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap. Tracking / Tension
Adjustment Tracking / Tension Adjustment
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent
slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt
tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect
for proper tension by walking on the belt and
making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with
each step. When an adjustment is made to the belt
tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both
sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to one
side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN–Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt
-located under the motor cover - that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels
similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained service
person.

18
TREAD-BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they
favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
A 6 mm Allen wrench (132)is provided for this
adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the
left side bolt. Seat belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware
that a small adjustment can make a dramatic
difference which may not be apparent right away.
If the belt is too close to the left side, then turn
the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise)
and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in
the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some
users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the
tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper
belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION
ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

19
BELT/DECK LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean,
non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the
garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the length of the
entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.
Do not lubricate with anything other than FUEL Fitness approved lubricant. YOUR TREADMILL
COMES WITH ONE TUBE OF “LUBE” AND EXTRA TUBES CAN BE ORDERED
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your
treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on
the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of
these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 90 hours of
use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach be-tween the belt and deck to
verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there isn’t any lubrication present,
follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” indicator isn’t lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate
when the console’s lubrication reminder lights after 90 hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply
the silicone lubricant:
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt approximately
4-6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long in an “S” pattern
perpendicular to the motor cover.
