ASSEMBLY

The assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included Allen wrench and your own Phillips screwdriver 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 of the 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, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the Uprights (82) until the treadmill is in the position shown.
2. Remove the Lock Knob (127) from the Lock Pin (132). Make sure that the Lock Pin Collar (130) and the Spring (129) are on the Lock Pin (132) as shown. Insert the Lock Pin into the Lock Knob Bracket (128). Tighten the Lock Knob (127) onto the Lock Pin (132).
3. Refer to drawing 3a. Press a Handrail Insert (102) into the lower end of a Handrail (85). Hold an Extension Leg (103) against the lower end of the Handrail. Insert a Handrail Bolt (78) with a Handrail Washer (36) into the Extension Leg and thread the Handrail Bolt three or four turns into the Handrail. Notice the angle of the Handrail and insert the Handrail Bolt and Washer at the same angle (see drawing 3b). Attach a Handrail Insert (102) and an Extension Leg (103) to the other Handrail (85) in the same way.
4. Slide the upper end of a Handrail (85) and then the Extension Leg (103) into the right Upright (82) as shown. (Note: It may be helpful to tip the Uprights \[82] forward as you insert the Extension Leg. If necessary, tap the Extension Leg with a rubber mallet to fully insert it.) Slide the other Handrail (85) into the left Upright (82) as described above.
5. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) down as shown. Make sure that the Extension Legs (103) and Handrails (85) remain in the Uprights. Attach each Extension Leg (103) with two Short Screws (101) as shown. You may need to press down or tap on the top of the Uprights (82) with a rubber mallet to fully insert the Extension Legs. Tighten the Handrail Bolts (78). Note: One replacement Base Pad (97) may be included. Use the extra Base Pad if one becomes worn or needs to be replaced. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) back to the upright position.
6. Refer to drawing 6a. Locate the left Rear Foot (59) on the treadmill. If the left Rear Foot touches the floor, go to step 7. If there is a space between the left Rear Foot and the floor, follow the instructions below. Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and raise the treadmill to the storage position as described on page 18. Refer to drawing 6b. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Screw (60), the right Rear Foot (59), and the Rear Foot Spacer (114) from the treadmill. Reattach the right Rear Foot without the Rear Foot Spacer.

If the left Rear Foot is still off the floor, raise the treadmill and remove the left Rear Foot. Snap the Rear Foot Spacer (114) onto the left Rear Foot and reattach the left Rear Foot. Carefully lower the treadmill.
7. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included Allen wrench in a secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 20). To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a 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 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 dealer or call toll-free 1-800-366-7278 and order part number 146148. 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.

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.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets. 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 used, 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.
