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.

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!

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.

NEVER USE THE TREADMILL WITHOUT SECURING THE SAFETY KEY CLIP TO YOUR 

CLOTHING. PULL ON THE SAFETY KEY CLIP FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT 

COME OFF YOUR CLOTHING.

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 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  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.
