IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1.   Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over age 35 or persons with 
pre-existing health problems.  
2.   It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 
that all users of this treadmill are adequately 
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described.
4.   Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a 
garage or covered patio, or near water. 
5.   Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 
at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it 
and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place 
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air 
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from 
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
6.   Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol 
products are used or where oxygen is being 
administered. 
7.   Keep children under age 12 and pets away 
from the treadmill at all times.
8.   The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 300 lbs. (136 kg) or less. 
9.   Never allow more than one person on the 
treadmill at a time. 
10.  Wear appropriate exercise clothes while us-
ing the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes 
that could become caught in the treadmill. 
Athletic support clothes are recommended 
for both men and women. Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare 
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals. 
11.   When connecting the power cord (see page 
13), plug the power cord into a surge sup-
pressor (not included) and plug the surge 
suppressor into a grounded circuit capable 
of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appli-
ance should be on the same circuit. Do not 
use an extension cord. 
12.  Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor 
that meets all of the specifications described 
on page 13. To purchase a surge suppressor, 
see your local PROFORM dealer or call the 
telephone number on the front cover of this 
manual and order part number 146148, or see 
your local electronics store. 
13.  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. 
14.  Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
15.  Never move the walking belt while the power 
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if 
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the 
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU-
BLESHOOTING on page 20 if the treadmill is 
not working properly.)
16.  Read, understand, and test the emergency 
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see 
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15).
17.   Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the 
handrails while using the treadmill.
18.  The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Ad-
just the speed in small increments to avoid 
sudden jumps in speed. 
19.  The heart rate monitor is not a medical 
device. Various factors, including the user’s 
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart 
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining 
heart rate trends in general.
       WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precations and \
in-
structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before usin\
g your treadmill. ICON as-
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained\
 by or through the use of 
this product.

20.  Never leave the treadmill unattended while 
it is running. Always remove the key, unplug 
the power cord, and press the power switch 
into the off position when the treadmill is not 
in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the 
location of the power switch.)  
21.  Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the 
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See 
ASSEMBLY on page 7, and HOW TO FOLD 
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 19.) 
You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg) 
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill. 
22.  When folding or moving the treadmill, make 
sure that the storage latch is holding the 
frame securely in the storage position.
23.  Never insert any object into any opening on 
the treadmill.
24.  Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the 
treadmill regularly.
25.  DANGER: Always unplug the power 
cord immediately after use, before clean-
ing the treadmill, and before performing the 
maintenance and adjustment procedures 
described in this manual. Never remove the 
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an 
authorized service representative. Servic-
ing other than the procedures in this manual 
should be performed by an authorized ser-
vice representative only.
26.  This treadmill is intended for home use only. 
Do not use this treadmill in a commercial, 
rental, or institutional setting.
27.  Over exercising may result in serious injury 
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience 
pain while exercising, stop immediately and 
cool down.
