Getting Started
Before beginning:
1. Remove treadmill from box and place on a clean, level
surface. It is recommended that you place a protective
mat under the treadmill.
2. Place in an area that will meet these minimum
clearance requirements: Front & side: 1ft clearance.
Back: 5 ft clearance.
3. Whenever moving or setting up the treadmill, the deck
must be in the upright position with the deck safety
lock securely engaged.
4. To place the treadmill in operating position, release
the deck safety lock. Then lower the deck with the end
caps until it rests completely on the floor.
5. Make sure safety cord is plugged into the treadmill.
6. Plug unit into outlet following the Grounding
Guidelines below.
GROUNDING:
This unit must be properly grounded to ensure safe operation. Should this equipment fail to perform
properly, grounding reduces the chance of electrical shock. Grounding occurs when the provided 3
prong plug is inserted into a standard 3 prong 110v outlet of at least 15 amps, preferably a dedicated
20 amp circuit.
IMPORTANT TREADMILL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of excessive heating which may result in burns, fire, electric shock, or
injury, an appliance should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when
not in use, before cleaning, and before adding or removing parts.
CAUTION:
Before operating the treadmill, connect the end of the safety key (Slip Safe Key) to the belt line of
your workout pants or shorts. Should you lose your balance, the line will become taut and the safety
key will pull out of the console, stopping the treadmill at any point in your workout. In case of
emergency, seize the handlebar and lift your body, then stand on the floor.
Helpful Instructions
1. Straddle the tread belt and allow it to start moving at a slow, safe speed before stepping onto it.
2. Hold the handlebar while adjusting the controls.
3. Focus your eyes straight ahead to help maintain your balance.
4. Wear comfortable, good-quality walking or running shoes.
5. Warm up and cool down before and after your workout period.
