BASIC OPERATION 9
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL Place the treadmill on a level and stable surface. Please leave a clear zone behind the treadmill that is at least the width of the treadmill and at least 79” (2000 mm) long. This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. In case of an emergency, place both hands on the side arm rests to hold yourself up and place your feet onto the side rails.
LEVELING the treadmill Use of shim or adding leveling foot. NOTE: It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may cause belt misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended. Remove the leveling shim provided on the underside of the treadmill. The shim can be found mounted on the underside of the right hand side rail. Remove the rear foot on the side of the treadmill that is resting low.
TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be checked for proper tension and centering. The belt might need to be adjusted after the first two hours of use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below. A Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill.

Using the HEART RATE function Your unit could be equipped with a heart rate pulse grip. The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap.
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console. Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout.
