ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
Most Life Fitness Treadmills are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada. Below is a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the treadmill model supports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet. Line voltage is noted on the product’s serial label.
Supply Voltage (VAC) | Frequency (Hz) | Maximum Current (Amps) |
120 | 50 / 60 | 12 |
230 | 50 / 60 | 10 |
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
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/
6.4kph. If the striding belt appears
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 11.2
