Treadmill 

     

 

   

 

 

 

Low impact treadmill, with wide variety of programming options, designed for heavy commercial use. 

Features

 

Deck and 
Belt 

• 

Decline to –3% simulates downhill running for training different muscle groups. 

• 

Ground Effects

 Impact Control System helps decrease impact on joints and reduces lateral motion. 

• 

Integrated Footplant

 Technology makes each step feel more natural, balanced and in-control. 

• 

Rear deck hinges and front cushioning create a laterally stable platform that reduces shock to the runner and provides a firm surface 
for push off. 

• 

Deck and belt require no external lubrication and are fully warranted for 2 years regardless of usage. 

• 

Deck is a one-inch Slik-Dek bed composed of 52-lb high-density fiberboard core with phenolic laminate bonded on both sides.  Can 
be flipped to double life.   

• 

Seigling E8 special weave multi-ply polyester belt with dry lubricant integrated into the material.  

• 

Steel tapered rollers keep the belt centered to reduce maintenance and noise. 

• 

Self-tensioning drive belt protects drive motor from excessive tension. 

• 

Injection molded trim strips with textured rubber insert are durable and offer secure footing when straddling the treadmill running 
belt. 

Drive 
System 

• 

4.0hp continuous-duty DC motor.  Continuously operating cooling fan delivers airflow directly through the motor reducing operating 
temperatures and allowing increased torque output, especially at lower speeds. 

• 

Lower PCA has integrated power components and continuous fan to handle higher loads and temperatures. 

• 

Magnetic Hall-effect speed sensor and precision-machined flywheel guarantee exact sensor readings and are unaffected by dust and 
dirt build up. 

• 

Low voltage drive system (PWM) draws less current and minimizes problem with circuit breakers. 

• 

Removable power cord has a low profile right-angle plug.  The cord is attached at a right angle for clearance and is clamped to the 
treadmill for reliability. 

Display 

• 

CSAFE ready.  Touch sensitive display makes it easy to monitor and alter workouts.   

• 

Has numeric keypad for easy data entry. 

• 

Touch sensitive switches are more reliable, resulting in fewer costly repairs than membrane switches. 

Frame and 
Lift 

• 

Two-step powder-coating process applies rust-resistant undercoat and cosmetic topcoat to steel frame. 

• 

Lift unit generates up to 1000 lbs. of thrust and operates in compression as intended by design. 

• 

Threads in lift actuator screw are covered at low incline to prevent dust collection 

Diagnostics 

• 

Ability to set owner parameters, 

e.g.,

 limit exercise time and pause time. 

• 

Ability to check safety breaker and display functioning and to monitor current draw by motor to detect bed and belt wear before 
damage occurs. 

Heart Rate 

• 

Heart rate controlled course.   

• 

Has handheld heart rate and is equipped for heart rate telemetry reading using Polar

 technology. 

• 

SmartRate

 shows actual heart rate in relation to the target zone for weight loss and cardio training. 

Other 
Features 

• 

QuickStart

 for user convenience lets user begin workout with the push of a single button. 

• 

Accessory holder for water bottle, reading material and portable music. 

• 

Safety clip attached to emergency stop switch to immediately turn off power bringing treadmill to a gentle stop. Stop switch has no 
magnet to lose and has a guard to prevent inadvertent activation. 

• 

Cord management system includes pre-drilled holes underneath the frame side rails and snap-in cord clips. 

Warranty 

• 

Seven years frame, 5 years touch sensor display housing, 5 years motor fan, 3 years drive motor, 2 years parts and 1 year labor.  
Warranties outside the U.S. and Canada may vary.
