(for a 120V AC system ) Grounding Instructions This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Emergency Stop Procedure The Treadmill machine is equipped with a Safety Key that can prevent serious injury, as well as prevent children from playing with and/or being injured on the machine. If the Safety Key is not correctly inserted into the Safety Key Port, the belt will not operate. Always attach the Safety Key Clip to your clothing during your workout.
Moving and Storing the Machine The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Use caution when you move the machine. The treadmill is heavy and can be awkward. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of moving the machine. Use a second person if necessary. 1. Before the machine can be moved, inspect the Walking Deck to be sure the Incline setting is at “1”. If necessary, adjust the Incline setting to “1”.
7. Make sure that the locking mechanism is engaged. Carefully pull back on the walking deck and make sure that it does not move. When you do this, keep clear of movement path in case the treadmill lock is not engaged. Do not lean against the treadmill when it is folded.
Page 9
4. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop lightly. Hold onto the walking deck until approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Make sure that you use proper lifting technique; bend your knees and keep your back straight. Lower the weight with your legs. The walking deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.
Leveling the Machine The machine needs to be leveled if your workout area is uneven. To adjust: 1. Place the machine in your workout area. 2. Adjust the levelers until they all contact the floor. Do not adjust the levelers to such a height that they detach or unscrew from the machine. Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur.
CONNECTIVITY Bluetooth Connectivity with the “Bowflex Results Series™” Fitness App ® This fitness machine is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and can wirelessly sync with the “Bowflex Results Series™” Fitness App on supported ® devices. The Software App syncs with your fitness machine to track total calories burned, time, distance, and more. Records and stores every work- out for quick reference. Plus, it automatically syncs your workout data to MyFitnessPal and Under Armour Connected Fitness to make hitting your ® ® daily calorie goal easier than ever! Track your results and share with friends and family.
MAINTENANCE Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required to do the necessary tasks. Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular maintenance is done.
Adjusting the Belt Tension If the walking belt starts to slip during use, it is necessary to adjust the tension. Your treadmill has tension bolts at the rear of the treadmill. Remove the Safety Key and place it in a secure location. When this machine is not in operation, remove the Safety Key and keep out of the reach of children.
Lubricating the Walking Belt Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. The Walking Belt is pre-lubricated. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use, silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results, lubricate the deck periodically with a silicone lubricant using the following instructions: Turn off the power to the machine with the power switch.
Replace Batteries in Chest Strap The heart rate (HR) chest strap uses a CR2032 battery. Do not perform this procedure outdoors or in moist or wet locations. Using a coin, loosen the slotted cover on the battery bay. Remove the CR2032 cover and battery.
