USING YOUR RACK PROGRAM 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.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handle bars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate. • When you are breathing heavily during a workout. • When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring. • When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm. • Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
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.
TENSIONING THE BELT If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. 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.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Cleanliness of your Horizon Fitness 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) Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. WARNING WARNING! To remove power from the treadmill, the power cord must be disconnected from the wall outlet.
EXERCISE 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.
D E V E L O P I N G A F I T N E SS P R O G R A M TIPS 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 Y O U R F I T N E SS G O A L S 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.
