The following procedure has been proven to be the
safest and easiest method of mounting the treadmill.
For your protection, carefully read and follow these
simple steps:
Be sure the treadmill is positioned on a at, level
surface.
Make sure the magnetic safety key is not attached
then plug in the treadmill power cable to a suitable
power socket and switch on at the socket.
Turn on the treadmill power switch which is located
near where the power cable attaches to the treadmill.
Straddle the running mat with your feet rmly
planted on the right and left staging platforms. Stand
close enough so you can extend your arms to touch
all the buttons on the console. CAUTION: Do not
stand on the mat yet.
Insert the safety key.
Press “START” key, the treadmill will start at the lowest
speed.
STARTING YOUR EXERCISE
Stand on the running mat.
Once you have selected your workout, the treadmill
will slowly increase it’s speed to the desired levels.
Continue to grip the handles until you are walking /
running normally.
After gaining stability and condence, release your
grip on the handrails and let your arms swing freely
and naturally at your side.
NOTE: WALKING STRAIGHT ON THE TREADMILL IS
AIDED BY FOCUSING ON A STATIONARY OBJECT
ACROSS THE ROOM IN FRONT OF YOU. WALK AS IF
YOU WERE APPROACHING THAT OBJECT.
GETTING OFF THE TREADMILL
The following procedure has been proven to be
the safest and easiest method of dismounting the
treadmill. For your protection, carefully read and
follow these simple steps:
Turn treadmill to the lowest speed and incline.
Firmly grip the handles to support yourself.
Remove your trailing foot from the walking platform
and place it on the foot pad on the side of the
treadmill. This is very easy to do because the natural
movement of walking will have shifted your weight
onto the foot that just stepped forward.
Shift your weight to the stationary foot on the foot
pad, and remove the other foot from the walking

platform and place it on the other foot pad. You
should now be in the starting position.
Press “STOP” key to stop the treadmill and disconnect
the safety key then unplug treadmill from the power
outlet when nished.
IN AN EMERGENCY, TAKE HOLD OF THE HANDRAILS
AND PLACE YOUR FEET ON THE SIDE RAILS
PROVIDED, ONCE YOU ARE STABLE, PULL OUT THE
SAFETY KEY. THE TREADMILL WILL THEN BEGIN TO
DECELERATE UNTIL IT STOPS.
MAT ALIGNMENT AND TENSION
The alignment and tension of the mat (walking
surface) has been set prior to shipping. Should
improper tracking of the mat occur (walking surface
moving too far to right or left on the platform) or if
you nd that the mat slips when you get on, these
problems can be corrected as follows:
Locate the adjustment screws on the end of the
main frame. CAUTION: Adjust the mat when the
treadmill is running at low speed. Keep others
away from the treadmill.
Connect the safety key and set to the lowest speed.
Allow the mat to run for several minutes and watch
to see if it runs in the center position properly. If the
mat does not run in the center position, carry out the
steps for “MAT MOVES TO LEFT” or “MAT MOVES TO
RIGHT”. Be sure that you adjust by “1/2 turn only each
time”to avoid over correcting.
MAT MOVES TO RIGHT: If your mat tends to move to the
right, then adjust the right screw by turning it a 1/2 turn
clockwise. We recommend adjustments of 1/2 turn only
at a time, then test each time. If your mat continues to
move to the right, simply adjust the left adjustment screw,
by turning 1/2 turn counterclockwise, test after each
adjustment.
MAT MOVES TO LEFT: If your mat tends to move to the
left, then the adjustment of the right screw is necessary
by turning counterclockwise. We recommend adjustments
of 1/2 turn only at a time, then test each time. If the
mat continues to move to the left, simply adjust the left
