Your

treadmill

features

a

maintenance

-free

walking

platform

with

a

special

hydrocarbon

coating.

The

walking

platform

must

be

broken

in

completely

so

the

coating

impregnates

the

walking

belt.

Follow

the

instructions

below

to

break

in

the

walking

platform.

(See

pages

6

and

7

for

instructions

about

adjusting

the

speed

and

incline

of

the

treadmill.)

Adjust

the

incline

of

the

treadmill

to

the

highest

setting.

Next,

adjust

the

walking

belt

to

about

3

or

4

miles

per

hour.

Hold

the

handrail

and

begin

walking

on

the

treadmill.

Be

sure

to

step

on

all

areas

of

the

walking

belt

—not

only

on

the

center.

The

walking

belt

may

slow

or

stop

as

you

walk.

Continue

for

5

to

10

minutes,

or

until

the

walking

belt

no

longer

slows

as

you

walk.

Note:

If

the

walking

belt

stops

and

an

TEE"

appears

on

the

console,

remove

the

safety

key,

wait

for

10

seconds,

and

then

re-insert

the

safety

key.

IMPORTANT:

Never

apply

silicone

spray

or

other

substances

to

the

walking

platform

or

the

walking

belt.

They

will

deteriorate

the

walking

platform

and

cause

excessive

wear.

CUSHION

LEVEL

ADJUSTMENT

For

a

softer

cushion

level

as

you

exercise,

turn

the

cushion

knob

clockwise.

For

a

firmer

cushion

level,

turn

the

knob

counterclock-

wise.

Note:

The

faster

you

run

on

the

treadmill,

the

firmer

the

cushion

level

should

be.

If

the

cushion

level

is

too

soft,

the

tread-

mill

will

bounce

excessively.
