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.

outlet. The on/off switch is located 

next to the power cord. Flip this 

switch to the 'ON' position, so that 

the switch is lit. You will hear a beep 

and the console will light up.
