MOVING
Your Horizon Fitness treadmill has a pair of transport wheels
built into the base frame. To move, make sure the treadmill is
folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp the handlebars,
tilt the treadmill back and roll.
CAUTION! Our Treadmills are
heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to
warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare
them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up
on your Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your
heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Make sure that your
cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your
heart rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching
exercises on page 21 to loosen and relax your muscles.
Foot Lock-Latch
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the
treadmill deck to the upright position until the foot lock latch engages
and securely locks the deck into position. Make sure the deck is securely
latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the
treadmill. Gently press down on the foot lock latch with your foot until
the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to the ground.
