THE BASICS

Your treadmill is made up of two main sections: the base and the pedestal.

The base of the treadmill consists of a metal frame, a shock-absorbing deck system and a powerful 2.5 continuous-duty horsepower DC motor. The motor powers a pulley system which moves the running belt over the deck. (Seefigure1,page1-4)

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

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL

TREADMILL

REQUIREMENTS

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 operate 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 doesn’t touch the carpet at any point.

Your TRUE treadmill is designed for indoor use only. Always keep the control panel out of direct sunlight.

Your True treadmill requires a dedicated

110 VAC 15 amp grounded outlet circuit. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet. The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by preventing shock.

A GROUNDED OUTLET IS CRITICAL

FOR THE HRC SYSTEM TO FUNCTION

PROPERLY.
