Intelli-Guard - This treadmill is equipped with the Intelli-Guard safety feature. This feature senses when you
stop walking on the treadmill and for safety purposes it automatically pauses the treadmill to avoid
accidental falls and resulting injury. The Intelli-Guard feature is triggered when the treadmill senses that you
are no longer walking or running on the treadmill.
Caution:The Intelli-Guard feature will automatically be disengaged when the treadmill is
operated at speeds under 1.5 mph or at an incline level over 5.
If the speed or incline is within these parameters the step icon will flash.
When the icon flashes, the treadmill will not auto-pause
Caution: At 20 seconds the console will beep once per second for 5 seconds
and then automatically pause the treadmill. These beeps are a notice that the
treadmill belt is about to stop. If for some reason you are still on the treadmill
when this occurs move your feet to the side rails and prepare for the belt to stop.
The Intelli-Guard feature does not replace the use of your saftey key or using proper
precaution in stopping the treadmill when it is not in use.
Intelli-Step – The treadmill comes with the Intelli-Step counting feature. This feature senses the resistance
on the running belt each time your foot strikes. There are several factors that will effect the accuracy of this
feature including your walking style, your weight, and your usage characteristics. For example, the Intelli-
Step feature will have a more difficult time picking up the steps of a light user and especially a light user
walking at an incline. The higher the incline the more difficult it is for the feature to recognize steps. This
may also be the case at lower speeds. In summary, the Intelli-Step is a great feature for users interested in
maintaining a step count walking or running program, but it is dependant on many variables for accuracy
and the accuracy of the count will depend on your individual characteristics as well as variables related to
the treadmills usage.
1. Be certain that your treadmill is sitting level and stable. There are adjustment feet at the front
corners of the base frame to help level the treadmill. If the treadmill is not level the running
belt will move toward the lowest side of the treadmill. It is also recommended that you locate
your treadmill in a pleasant area that gives you something to look at while working out, such
as a window or television. Maintaining an exercise program with a treadmill located in a
poorly lit basement is more difficult than when your treadmill is located in an active
and pleasant location.
2. Make sure that your treadmill is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as described in the
grounding section of this document.
3. Turn the On/Off switch located on the front right side base frame to the On position.
4. Insert the magnetic safety key into the round area centered at the bottom of your display. If
the safety key is not inserted properly the screen will say “Safety Key”.
