ELECTRICAL GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter must not be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, correct amperage outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment’s grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

TURNING THE UNIT ON

To turn the treadmill on, locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the treadmill near the power cord and turn it ON.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To adjust, turn the STABILIZING LEG (A) or (B) until the rocking motion ceases and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor.

Note: If excessive vibration occurs during use, adjust the height of the levelers (A) closer to the uprights. Do not adjust the height of the levelers (B) further from the uprights.

Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper operation.

CHECKING THE BELT

After the treadmill has been installed and stabilized, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, ensure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet, as described in the above Electrical Requirements section. Then turn the treadmill on. Stand on the side rails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. To start the belt, press the WALK key, then press the SPEED UP arrow key until the treadmill reaches 4.0 mph/ 6.4 kph. If the striding belt appears off-center, see the instructions in Tracking (Centering) An Existing Or New Striding Belt (Section 6.3).

Note: Normal belt operating position is for the belt to be located within the belt travel position indicators on the motor cover (see illustration to the right). If the belt is not in this position, see Section 6.3
