Gently press down on the foot lock latch with your foot until the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to the ground.
LEVELING The treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located on the treadmill base frame. Once you have leveled the treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against the frame. To assure the treadmill is level, a carpenter's level is recommended.

This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts with the appropriate size allen wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Procedures MAINTENANCE Cleanliness of your treadmill and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed. AFTER EACH USE (DAILY) Clean and inspect, following these steps: • Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
Horizon Fitness treadmills are designed to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you experience a problem, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below. PROBLEM: The console does not light up. SOLUTION: Verify that the power cord is plugged in properly to the outlet, and that the treadmill switch is turned on. PROBLEM: The treadmill circuit breaker trips during a workout. SOLUTION: Verify that the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20amp circuit. Note: No extension cord or surge protector.
HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts. YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC HEART RATE READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: • Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
Common Product Questions ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL? All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers, especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
Conditioning Guidelines Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. HOW OFTEN? The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
TARGET ZONE HEART RATE CHART Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
Developing A Fitness Program STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these stretches.
Achieving Your Fitness Goals An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness treadmill to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
