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.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF ExERCISE:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
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.
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
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.
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
While you are preparing to use the treadmill, 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 CLOTHING.

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 on page 31 in 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.

lift the end of the treadmill deck into the upright

deck is securely latched before letting go.

Your treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built
into the frame. To move, make sure the treadmill is
folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the
handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll.
Our Treadmills are heavy; use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
