Treadmill Location

Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup process. In order to easily move the

treadmill, lift up on the rear of the treadmill base and push the treadmill forward on the front wheels.

Adjusting the Levelers

Your treadmill has a right and left leveler attached to the rear base of the treadmill.

The levelers act as feet. After placing your treadmill in the desired location, adjust

levelers so that both levelers are touching the floor and so that the treadmill is

completely stable. To adjust the levelers, loosen the jam nut and turn the leveler leg

until the rocking motion or instability ceases and both levelers rest firmly on the floor.

Note: It is extremely important that the levelers be correctly adjusted for proper

operation of the treadmill. An unbalanced unit may cause the striding belt to be

misaligned.

Electrical Requirements

Most Life Fitness Treadmills are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada.

Below is a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the

treadmill model supports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet.

Electrical Grounding Requirements

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding

provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching

or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter must not be used to connect

this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 12 amp outlet is not available, a

qualified electrician must install one.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment’s grounding

conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify

the plug provided with this product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

Turning the Unit On

To turn the treadmill on, locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the treadmill

near the power cord and turn it to ON.

Checking the Belt

After the treadmill has been installed and leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm

proper tracking. First, ensure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet. See the

electrical requirements, which appear above. Then turn the treadmill on.

Stand on the side rails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. To start the belt, press the

Start/Enter key, then press the speed up arrow key until the treadmill reaches 4.0 MPH.

If the striding belt appears off-center, see the instructions on the

How to Center the Striding Belt

page in the

How To

section.
