THE BASICS

Your treadmill is made up of two main sections: the base and the pedestal. (See figure 1, page 1-4)

The base of the treadmill consists of a metal frame, a shock-absorbing deck system and a powerful 3.0 horsepower continuous-duty DC motor. The motor powers a pulley system which moves the running belt over the deck.

The pedestal mounts on the top of the frame. It places the displays, information readout and touch keys within easy sight and reach.

SETTING UP

YOUR TREADMILL

Place your treadmill on a clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet and has enough slack to allow the deck to incline unhindered by the cord. Do not allow the treadmill assembly to rest on the cord. Although your treadmill is designed to oper- ate on most carpeted surfaces, some deeply padded or heavy shag carpets can cause damage to the unit. To prevent damage to your treadmill or carpet, have someone stand on the deck and make sure the treadmill belt doesnÕt touch the carpet at any point.

Your TRUE treadmill is designed for indoor use only.
