dispose of thepacking materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires your own Phillips screw-

driver (_'====- and rubber mallet

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top ofthe walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal

condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simplywipe off

the lubricantwith a softcloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the

treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side

slightly and holdsit, insertone of the Extension Legs (103)

into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension

Leg is tumed so the Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmillto the other side and insertthe

other Extension Leg (not shown) inthe same way. Lower

the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs

(103) are restingflat on the floor.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the

treadmill frame and then tip the Uprights (82) down as

shown. Make sure that the Extension Legs (103) re-

main in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (103) with two of the four

Screws (101) and aBase Pad (114) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (114) and Spacer (not

the Handrail Extension by tightening three Small Screws

(76) into the indicated holes. Note that the hole inthe left

side of the post is not used. Note: If there is only one

hole in the top of the post, tighten the third Small

Screw into the hole in the left side of the post.

Identify the Left Foam Grip (t 19), which has a large

cutout in the right side. Slide the Left Foam Gripas far as

possible onto the post on the left Upright (82). Itmay be

helpfulto apply soapy water to theHandrail Extension(85).

5. Make sure that the front edge of the Left Foam Gdp (11O)

is under the Console Base (87) as shown. Tightena

Small Screw (76) intothe side of the Left Foam Gripas

shown. Note: You may need to pull out on the side ofthe

Foam Gdp slightlyto align the Small Screw withthe hole

in the Upright (82).

Attach the Right Foam Grip (not shown) and the other

Handra, Extension (not shown) as descn'bed in step 4

and this step.

Note: There may be extra screws after assembly is

completed.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUI3E TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be sedously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home's power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right).

To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local

SEARS or call toll-free 1-800-3667278 and order

part number 146148. Use only a single-outlet surge

suppressor that is UL 1449 listedas a transient voltage

_'rge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must

have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 voltsor

less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electdca]ly rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps.

This product must be grounded. If it should maltuno-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electdc current to reduce the dsk of elec

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

an equipment_jrounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug the power cord into asurge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCl-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on anominal120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus

trated in drawing 1 below. A t_ry adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge suppressor toa 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2if a propedy

grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

pmpedy grounded outlet (drawing1) can be installed

by a qualified electdcian.

The green-colored rigidear, lug, or the _ke extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover Is

grounded before using an adapter.
