Tip indicates a useful suggestion when installing, maintaining or using your treadmill. Your PaceMaster treadmill is capable of varying your workout by changing speed, incline and time. It can also measure the effect of your workout in a number of different ways. For example “Aerobic Points” (see page16) is a well tested method to set workout goals based on a desired level of overall fitness.
Aerobics, Inc. • Never operate your PaceMaster treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not operating properly, if it has been dropped or damaged or if it has been immersed in water. Should any of these occur, contact your authorized PaceMaster retailer or service center for examination or repair.
You must have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any wall or obstruction. TIP: If you are installing your PaceMaster on a carpeted surface, use a treadmill mat or a scrap piece of carpet underneath the treadmill to avoid soiling of the carpet.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Assembly Step One: (see figure 1) Carefully place the bottom of the handlebar (1) on the frame (2) so the two holes in the plate at the bottom of the handlebar line up with the holes in the frame.
Assembly (cont’d) Step Three: (see figure 3) Take one of the side rails (8) and slide the end with the grip over the end of the steel tube protruding from the control panel (9). Make sure the side rail grip touches the control panel.
Testing Your Treadmill Your PaceMaster has been adjusted and tested at the factory. However, due to changes that can occur during shipment, it should be tested prior to use. Once you have assembled your treadmill and it is located where it will be used, proceed as follows. (Do not make any adjustments unless necessary.) For the purpose of this test, DO NOT stand on the tread belt.
Although your PaceMaster has many advanced features to provide versatility in meeting exercise needs, basic operation is extremely easy. Basic operation involves setting your TIME and SPEED goals, then pressing the START button. Your PaceMaster will gradually accelerate to the set speed, maintain that speed until the timer counts to zero and then gradually come to a complete stop. During your exercise, your time remaining, current speed, distance traveled, calories burned and Aerobic Points earned are displayed.

For this reason, extra care must be used in keeping the belt clean.
