SETTING UP YOUR TREADMILL
PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the treadmill should be placed in a comfort-
able and attractive setting. This treadmill is designed to use minimal oor space and to t nicely
in your home.
Do not place or operate the treadmill outdoors.
Do not place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.
Make sure the power cord is not in the path of heavy trafc.
It is highly recommended to place a dedicated treadmill mat beneath your treadmill.
A dedicated mat provides superior stability and rmness for a proper workout.
Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.
Allow a safety area of 79” x 39” (2000mm x 1000mm) behind the treadmill
so that you can easily get on and off the treadmill and adjust the tension of the belt.
Occasionally, after extended use, you will nd a ne black dust below your treadmill. This is
normal wear and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your treadmill. This dust can
be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this dust from getting on your
oor or carpet, place a dedicated treadmill mat beneath your treadmill.
LEVELINGTHEBASE
It is important that you place the treadmill on a rm level surface. If the ground is uneven, you
may level the treadmill with levelers located under the deck. Make sure the back of the deck is
not higher than the front. If adjustments are to be made, check to see if the leverage feet, as
shown below, touch the ground rmly. If there is a gap, turn the leverage foot counterclockwise
to eliminate the gap.
Make sure the running deck is level to the ground. If the deck is positioned so that you are run-
ning downhill, it will cause premature damage to the electronic system

OPERATING YOUR TREADMILL
FOLDING AND UNFOLDING THE TREADMILL
Folding and unfolding of this treadmill is made easy with the assistance of a gas cylinder. After the
treadmill has come to a complete stop and power is removed, simply fold up the deck. When you
hear a click, the deck is locked in place.
The folding lock mechanism is located on the bottom frame. Make sure power is “OFF”. To release
the folding lock, support the deck with your hands while you release the lock with your right foot.
The deck is now ready to be positioned horizontally on the ground. Please handle with caution
although the treadmill is designed with the gas cylinder taking most of the weight off the deck.
MOVINGTHETREADMILL
This treadmill is easy to move around safely. To move the treadmill:
1. Turn the power switch off.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Make sure the deck is at ground level by checking that the elevation setting is at a zero degree
incline.
4. Fold the treadmill and make sure the lock is engaged. You should hear a click to indicate
positive engagement.
5. Simply roll the treadmill on its two wheels to the desired location.
STORE YOUR TREADMILL
Please follow these safety precautions, especially if you have children at home.
We suggest to take the following precautions when storing your treadmill.
1. When you nish your workout, turn the power switch to the off position.
2. Remove the plug from the outlet.
3. Remove the safety key and keep it away from children.
TURNPOWERON
The On/Off switch for the treadmill is located next to
the power supply cord receptacle at the back of the
motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.

OPERATING YOUR TREADMILL
SAFETY KEY AND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall. Therefore, the
safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to an immediate stop. At high speeds, it may be un-
comfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete stop immediately. So, use the safety
key as an emergency stop only. To bring the treadmill to a complete stop safely and comfortably,
use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into
the safety key holder on the left side of the console. The other end of the
safety key should be securely clipped to your clothing.
Never use the treadmill without securing the safety key clipped to your clothing.
Pull on the safety key clip to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while getting on
or off. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the running belt. Straddle the
running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the treadmill deck. Place your foot on the belt
only after the belt has begun to move at a consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing
forward at all times. Never attempt to turn around on
the treadmill when the running belt is still moving.
When you have nished exercising, stop the treadmill
by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the treadmill
comes to a complete stop before attempting to get off

EXERCISE TIPS AND GUIDELINES
STRETCH
Stretching prior to exercising will improve exibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury.
Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Hold your stretched position for a
count of ten. Do not bounce. Repeating the stretching exercises again, after the cool down, will help
to loosen and relax your muscles to prevent soreness after your workout.
WARMUP
A few minutes of a work out should be devoted to warming up. This warm up time will limber your
muscles and prepare them for a more strenuous exercise. Warm up on the treadmill by walking at
slow speeds.
COOLDOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly. It is a good idea to end a workout slowly since this will allow your
heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Use a low speed setting during the cool down to gradu-
ally lower your heart rate.
HOWOFTEN?
It is most often recommended that you exercise a few times a week to maintain cardiovascular t-
ness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more
frequent exercise. Remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
Many people are successful staying with a tness program if they set aside a specic time of the
day to exercise. Regular exercise is a key to a healthy life style
HOWLONG?
For a useful workout, always start slowly, especially if you have been sedentary during the past
year. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. As your body adjusts, gradually increase
your workout time per session.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. For your health and
safety, do not over exert yourself. Remember to stretch and warm up before each exercise
program.
