Common Product Questions
ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers, especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
WHY IS THE TREADMILL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more back- ground noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder that a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call the Horizon Fitness Customer Service Center @
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY TREADMILL?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the treadmill deck to the upright position until the foot lock latch engages and securely locks the deck into position. Make sure the deck is securely latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Gently press down on the foot lock latch with your foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to the ground. Note: on the T25 & T35 model the foot lock latch might be on the right hand side.

MOVING
Your treadmill has a pair of transport wheels built into the base frame. To move, make sure the tread- mill is folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll.
