BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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.
LEVELING
The treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the treadmill where you intend to
use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located on the treadmill base frame. Once you have leveled
the treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against the frame. To assure the treadmill
is level, a carpenter’s level is recommended.
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.

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!
WARNING
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. Do not attempt to
disassemble machine and transport. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in injury.
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 29 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.
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of
the treadmill deck into the upright position until the foot lock latch
engages and securely locks the deck into position. Make sure the
deck is securely latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly grasp the
back end of the treadmill. Gently press down on the foot lock latch
with your foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the
deck to the ground.
MOVING
Your treadmill has transport wheels built into the frame. To
move, make sure the treadmill is folded and securely latched.
To unlock wheels, push down on the top lever of the rear wheel
locks located on the rear corners of the base frame. Then
firmly grasp the handlebars, and slowly move the treadmill.
After moving to the desired location, push down on the bottom
lever of the rear wheel locks to lock the rear wheels.
NOTE: Both rear wheel locks must be locked before using the
treadmill.
