IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result  
in a fall and serious injury.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
13. 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  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with  
eight feet of clearance behind it. 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.  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
16. Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster  
than walking speeds. Using hand weights and  
not holding the handrails may compromise  
your ability to maintain your balance.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow  
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.  
Exercises using hand weights should be at-  
tempted only by experienced users.  
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended  
for both men and women. Always wear ath-  
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare  
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
9. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor  
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and move the on/off switch to  
the off position when the treadmill is not in  
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-  
tion of the on/off switch.)  
10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 7. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-  
3651 and order part number 146148.  
19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 21.)  
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20  
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an  
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
is about to change. Always listen for the  
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill every three months.  
25. Never drop or insert any object into any open-  
ing.  
26.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the treadmill, and before performing the main-  
tenance and adjustment procedures de-  
scribed 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 service  
representative only.  
22. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can  
manually override the speed and incline set-  
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-  
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”  
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change  
to the next settings of the CD or video program.  
23. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR when you are not  
using them.  
27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use the treadmill in any  
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This  
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled. No tools are required.  
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a  
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or  
the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or  
on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.  
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
