This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter must not be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, correct amperage outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.
DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment’s grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

After the treadmill has been installed and leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, plug the power cord into a suitable outlet. See the topic titled Electrical
Requirements , which appears earlier in this section, for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.
Stand on the siderails of the treadmill and straddle the belt.
Press the START key and increase the speed to 4.0-mph
(6.4 kph) using the SPEED UP ARROW key.
If the striding belt moves to the right, turn the right tension bolt
(D) a quarter-turn clockwise with provided quarter-inch Allen wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise (see figure) . This sets the striding belt tracking back to the center of the roller.
If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to the center of the roller.
Repeat adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. The belt should be centered on the roller with an equal distance on both sides from belt to roller. Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes to observe if the tracking remains stabilized.
NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If, after one full turn, the belt does not track properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in the beginning of this manual.

H. Low/Med/High: Changes the belt’s incline immediately to a preset value. Initially these buttons are set to change the incline to 1.5% (Low), 3% (Mid) and 5% (High). However, the user can set these buttons to new values by first changing the belt’s incline to the desired new value, then holding down the button the new value will be assigned to until the treadmill beeps. Note that the smallest value must always be assigned to the Low key and the highest value to the High key.
I.
Walk/Jog/Run: Changes the belt’s speed immediately to a preset value. Initially these buttons are set to change the speed to 3 mph (Walk), 5 mph (Jog) and 7 mph (Run). However, the user can set these buttons to new values by first changing the belt’s speed to the desired new value, then holding down the button the new value will be assigned to until the treadmill beeps. The smallest value must always be assigned to the Walk key and the highest value to the Run key.
J.
E-Stop Magnet: This circular magnet connects to the E-Stop Lanyard, which must be clipped to the user’s clothing when the treadmill is in use. Pulling the lanyard so that it comes free of the magnet will stop the treadmill’s striding belt. This serves as a safety feature, stopping the belt should the user stumble or fall.

The Life Fitness F3 Treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today.
NOTE: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.
The following preventative maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness treadmill operating at peak performance:
• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner.
DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners.
•
NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; use non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit.
Check operation of the Emergency Stop System once a week.
• Check the operation of the Stop key once a week.
•
•
•
•
Inspect and vacuum the area under the unit regularly.
Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.

The Life Fitness treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards, which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of the striding belt (A) without removing the guards.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit may cause striding belt misalignment. See How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill in the "Set Up" section prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.
Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of the ROLLER must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an ideal belt tension at the pivot point.
