ASSEMBLY

To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call toll-free 1-800-445-2480.
The assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials; do not dispose of them until assembly is completed. 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 of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. In addition to the included hex keys, assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, and needle-nose pliers. Use the drawings below to identify the hardware used during assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it has been preattached to one of the parts to be assembled. Extra hardware may be included. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged. Place a piece of cardboard under the treadmill frame to protect the floor during assembly. Have a second person hold the Base (52) in the position shown. Attach six Base Feet (63) to the Base (52) with six 19mm Tek Screws (26).
2. Have a second person hold the Base (52) in the position shown. Identify the Left Upright (53) (the Right Upright
   [54] has a large hole near the lower end. Hold the Left Upright (53) so that the two indicated small holes are on top. Attach the Left Upright to the Base (52) with two M10 x 58mm Bolts (2). Do not tighten the Bolts yet. Attach the Right Upright (54) to the Base (52) in the same way.
3. Slide the two Wheel Housings (45) onto the Base (52). Attach each Wheel Housing with two M6 x 58mm Bolts (13), two M6 Flat Washers (32), and two M6 Nuts (43).
4. Remove the bolts (not shown) from the indicated holes in the Hood (65) (only one side is shown). Remove the cardboard packaging and discard the bolts. Position the Base (52) as close to the front of the treadmill as possible. See the inset drawing. Locate the wire tie in the Right Upright (54).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. 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 seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs 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 WESLO dealer or call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order part number 146148, or see your local electronics store. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL-suppressed-voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
• There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill.
• If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
  an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in drawing 2, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is us, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When you select the manual mode of the console, you can change the speed of the treadmill with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the displays will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor. The console also offers four speed programs. Each program automatically controls the speed of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER

Plug in the power cord (see page 12). Next, locate the reset/off circuit breaker on the treadmill frame near the power cord. Make sure that the circuit breaker is in the “reset” position.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13.
2. Select the manual mode. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a speed program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the Program Select button repeatedly until only zeros appear in the displays.
3. Start the walking belt. To start the walking belt, press the Start button, the speed + button, or one of the numbered Quick Speed buttons. If you press the Start button or the speed + button, the walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. As you exercise, change the speed of the walking belt as desired by pressing the speed + and – buttons. Each time you press a button, the speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if you hold down a button, the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note: After you press the buttons, it may take a moment for the walking belt to reach the selected speed setting. If you press one of the numbered Quick Speed buttons, the walking belt will gradually change speed until it reaches the selected speed setting. To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. The time will begin to flash in one of the displays. To restart the walking belt, press the Start button or the speed + button.
4. Follow your progress with the track and the displays. The track—The track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As you walk or run on the treadmill, the indicators around the track will appear in succession until the entire track appears. The track will then disappear, and the indicators will again begin to appear in succession. The center of the track will show the number of laps that you have completed.

HOW TO USE A SPEED PROGRAM

1. Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13.
2. Select one of the four speed programs. To select a speed program, press the Program Select button repeatedly; “P-1,” “P2,” “P-3,” or “P-4” will appear in the upper display for a few seconds to show which program is selected. The maximum speed setting of the selected program will also flash in one of the displays for a few seconds.
3. Press the Start button or the speed + button to start the program. When you press either button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed setting that is programmed for the first period of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. When the first period ends, a series of tones will sound. If a different speed setting is programmed for the second period, the speed setting will flash in one of the displays to alert you, and then the speed of the walking belt will change. The program will continue until all 30 periods are completed. The walking belt will then slow to a stop
4. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on this page.
5. When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console. See step 6 on this page.

HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL

1. Hold the metal frame firmly in the location shown by the arrow at the right. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic foot rails. Make sure to bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the frame, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the latch knob
   to the left and hold it. Raise the frame until the latch plate is past the latch pin. Then, slowly release the latch knob; make sure that the latch plate is resting against the latch pin.
