SETTING UP
YOUR TREADMILL
Place your treadmill on a clean, level surface.
Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a
grounded three-pronged outlet and has
enough slack to allow the deck to incline
unhindered by the cord. Do not allow the
treadmill assembly to rest on the cord.
Although your treadmill is designed to oper-
ate on most carpeted surfaces, some deeply
padded or heavy shag carpets can cause
damage to the unit. To prevent damage to
your treadmill or carpet, have someone stand
on the deck and make sure the treadmill belt
doesn’t touch the carpet at any point.
Your TRUE treadmill is designed for indoor
use only.

Your treadmill is made up of two main sections: the base and
the pedestal. (See figure 1, page 1-4)
The base of the treadmill consists of a metal frame, a
shock-absorbing deck system and a powerful 3.0 horsepower
continuous-duty DC motor. The motor powers a pulley system
which moves the running belt over the deck.
The pedestal mounts on the top of the frame. It places the
displays, information readout and touch keys within easy sight
and reach.
