1.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 
that all users of this treadmill are adequately 
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2.  Before beginning any exercise program, 
consult your physician. This is especially 
important for persons over age 35 or persons 
with pre-existing health problems.
3.  The treadmill is not intended for use by 
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or 
mental capabilities or lack of experience and 
knowledge, unless they have been given 
supervision or instruction concerning use 
of the treadmill by someone responsible for 
their safety.
4.  Use the treadmill only as described in this 
manual.
5.  The treadmill is intended for home use only. 
Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, 
rental, or institutional setting.
6.  Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a 
garage or covered patio, or near water.
7.  Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 
at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it 
and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place 
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air 
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from 
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
8.  Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol 
products are used or where oxygen is being 
administered.
9.  Keep children under age 13 and pets away 
from the treadmill at all times.
10. The treadmill should be used only by per-
sons weighing 325 lbs. (147 kg) or less.
11.  Never allow more than one person on the 
treadmill at a time.12. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while 
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose 
clothes that could become caught in the 
treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom-
mended for both men and women. Always 
wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill 
with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in 
sandals.
13. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor 
(not included), and plug the surge suppres-
sor into an appropriate outlet (see page 
17). To avoid overloading the circuit, do 
not plug other electrical devices, except for 
low-power devices such as cell phone char-
gers, into the surge suppressor or into an 
outlet on the same circuit.
14.  Use only a surge suppressor that meets all 
of the specifications described on page 17. 
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your 
local PROFORM dealer, call the telephone 
number on the front cover of this manual, or 
see your local electronics store.
15. Failure to use a properly functioning surge 
suppressor could result in damage to the 
control system of the treadmill. If the control 
system is damaged, the walking belt may 
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which 
may result in a fall and serious injury.
16. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
17. Never move the walking belt while the power 
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill 
if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if 
the treadmill is not working properly. (See 
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 
on page 26 if the treadmill is not working 
properly.)
18. Read, understand, and test the emergency 
stop procedure before using the treadmill 
(see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on 
page 19). Always wear the clip while using the 
treadmill.
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read 
all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before 
using your treadmill. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus-
tained by or through the use of this product.

19. Always stand on the foot rails when starting 
or stopping the walking belt. Always hold the 
handrails while using the treadmill.
20. When a person is walking on the treadmill, 
the noise level of the treadmill will increase.
21. Keep fingers, hair, and clothing away from 
the moving walking belt. 
22. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. 
Adjust the speed in small increments to 
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
23. The heart rate monitor is not a medical 
device. Various factors, including the user’s 
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart 
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is 
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
24. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it 
is running. Always remove the key, press the 
power switch into the off position (see the 
drawing on page 6 for the location of the 
power switch), and unplug the power cord 
when the treadmill is not in use.
25. Do not attempt to move the treadmill until it 
is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on 
page 8 and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE 
THE TREADMILL on page 25.) You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg) to move the 
treadmill.
26. When folding or moving the treadmill, make 
sure that the storage latch is holding the 
frame securely in the storage position.
27. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by 
placing objects under the treadmill.
28. Never insert any object into any opening on 
the treadmill.
29. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each 
time the treadmill is used.
30. 
DANGER: Always unplug the power 
cord immediately after use, before clean-
ing the treadmill, and before performing the 
maintenance and adjustment procedures 
described in this manual. Never remove the 
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an 
authorized service representative. Servicing 
other than the procedures in this manual 
should be performed by an authorized ser-
vice representative only.
31. Over exercising may result in serious injury 
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short 
of breath, or if you experience pain while 
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
