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 30 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. NOTE: The foot lock latch is located on the
bottom right side of the deck.
MOVING
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. NOTE: Do not attempt to disassemble and
transport 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.
WARNING
WARNING
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted
at the factory before it was shipped. At times
the belt can move off-center during shipment.
Before operating the treadmill, make sure the
belt is centered and remains centered to maintain
smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph
while centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing
away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right
side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn
the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at
a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check
the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle
to gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if
necessary, until the belt remains centered during
use.
If the running belt is too far to the left
side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph,
turn the right adjustment bolt counter-clockwise
1/4 TURN at a time (using the supplied Allen
wrench). Check the belt alignment. Allow belt to
run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment is
needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains
centered during use.

Belt is too far to the left side
TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving
during tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt
can cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well
as its components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on
the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened.
In most cases, the belt has stretched from use,
causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and
common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping,
TURN THE TREADMILL OFF and tension BOTH
THE REAR ROLLER BOLTS using the supplied Allen
wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the right as
shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller
bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly
tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.
