BEFORE YOU BEGIN
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
Congratulations on choosing your treadmill! You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise
program! Your treadmill is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your
treadmill can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you eliminate obstacles
that prevent you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your workout when you use your
treadmill in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new
machine.
Place the treadmill on a level surface. There should be 6 feet of clearance behind
the treadmill, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for folding and the power
cord. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block any vent or air
openings. The treadmill should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near
water or outdoors.
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
While you are preparing to use the tread-
mill, do not stand on the belt. Place your
feet on the side rails before starting the
treadmill. Start walking on the belt only
after the belt has begun to move. Never
start the treadmill at a fast running speed
and attempt to jump on!
SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to your
clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation of
the safety key every 2 weeks.
NEVER USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR CLOTHING.
PULL ON THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT COME OFF YOUR CLOTH-
ING.

PROPER USAGE
Your treadmill is capable of reaching high speeds. Always start off using a slower speed and adjust the speed in small
increments to reach a higher speed level. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. When not in use,
remove the safety key, turn the on/off switch to off and unplug the power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE
schedule located towards the back of this manual. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn
around or look backwards while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or
are short of breath.
Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged. If the treadmill
appears to not be working properly, do not use the treadmill.
Our Treadmills are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Do
not attempt to move or transport treadmill unless it is in the upright, folded position
with the lock latch secured. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
