Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your FUEL treadmill from the

electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the

treadmill on a flat level surface with access to a 120-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY

ONE OUTLET ON THE END. The treadmill should be the only appliance in the circuit in which it is connected. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY

USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 4.

Do not operate treadmill on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and treadmill may result.

Do not block the rear of the treadmill. Provide a minimum of 3 1/2 feet clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.

Keep children away from the treadmill. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can cause harm.

Keep hands away from all moving parts.

Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the treadmill is not working properly, call your dealer.

Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.

Never drop or insert any object into any openings.

Do not use outdoors.

To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, remove tether cord, then remove the plug from the outlet.

Do not attempt to use your treadmill for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

Use handrails provided; they are for your safety.

Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your treadmill. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

Remove tether cord after use to prevent unauthorized treadmill operation. SAVE

THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Information

WARNING!

NEVER

use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.

NEVER

remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.

If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected.

Such conditions are not covered under your warranty.

If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing. See

Diagnosis Guide, page 16.

NEVER

expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is

NOT

designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The environmental specification for temperature is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-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.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet,

(shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Important Operation Instructions

NEVER

operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.

Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.

NEVER

use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage treadmill components.

Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury.

NEVER

mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. FUEL treadmills start with at a very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit.

Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.).

Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact your

FUEL dealer.

Safety Tether Cord

A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.

Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.

To Use:

1. Place the magnet into position on the console control head. Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.

2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power.

Note:

The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the red Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.

Assembly Instructions (FT96)

!!ATTENTION: IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE

READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL!!

Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.

There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed.

To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.

General Maintenance

Belt and Bed

- Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance is maximized when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt.

Allow to dry before using.

Belt Dust

- This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.

General Cleaning

- Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG

POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS:

Treadbelt Tension Adjustment

- Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right side rail as noted in diagram below.

Tracking / Tension

Adjustment

Tracking / Tension

Adjustment

Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.

Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.

When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension.

This is accomplished by turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure.

-18-

FT96

TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:

The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be necessary.

The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.

TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:

A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the

left

side only. Set belt speed at approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjustment can make a dramatic difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt.

Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.

ATTENTION:

DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /

TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FUEL WARRANTY.

-19-

FT96

Belt/deck lubrication procedure:

Do not lubricate with other than FUEL approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from FUEL. There are commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by FUEL is Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the lubrication easier. The kits can be purchased directly from

Lube-N-Walk here: http://www.jadfitness.com/ . You can also purchase FUEL lubricant from our website www.fuelfitnessusa.com

under the products tab.

Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.

The deck comes pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180 hours of use. The console has a built in lubrication reminder indicator that lights every 180 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt.

Using the 6 mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps enough to get your hand under the belt (5 10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns and also remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they were before.

Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt. You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly run on the treadmill the spot where your feet land may be different from walking.

Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side then follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.
