CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW TREADMILL AND WELCOME TO THE SOLE FAMILY! Thank you for your purchase of this quality treadmill from SOLE. Your new treadmill has been manufactured by one of the leading fitness manufacturers in the world and is backed by one of the most comprehensive warranties available.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your SOLE 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 110-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the treadmill plugged into the circuit.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS 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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.

OPERATION OF YOUR TREADMILL GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL COOLING FANS F60 CONSOLE SPEED QUICK KEYS INCLINE QUICK KEYS SPEAKER SPEAKER FAN POWER SWITCH DOT MATRIX DISPLAY DISPLAY BUTTON HEADPHONE JACK CONTROL KEYS AUDIO IN JACK (MP3, CD, OR SMARTPHONE) CONTACT HEART RATE SENSORS GETTING STARTED F60 CONSOLE Power the treadmill on by plugging it into an appropriate wall outlet, then turn on the power switch located at the front of the treadmill below the motor hood.
QUICK-START OPERATION 1. Attach the Safety Key to wake display up (if not already on). 2. Press the Start key to begin belt movement then adjust to the desired speed using the Speed 5/6 keys on the console. You may also use the Quick speed keys 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 to adjust the speed. 3. To slow tread-belt press and hold the Speed 6 key on the console to the desired speed. You may also press the Quick speed adjust keys, 1 through 10. 4. To stop the tread-belt press Stop key or pull away Safety Key.
DOT MATRIX CENTER DISPLAY Twenty columns of dots (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The dots are only to show an approximate level (speed/incline) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In operation, the speed/incline dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.
PULSE FEATURE The Pulse (Heart Rate) Window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar to display your pulse or wear the wireless chest strap. The pulse value will display anytime the upper display is receiving a pulse signal. TURNING OFF TREADMILL 1. The display will automatically turn off – go to sleep - after 30 minutes of inactivity when in the Pause / Stop mode.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES The F60 has ten built-in programs: one Manual program, five preset profiles, two user defined programs (U1 & U2) and two Heart Rate programs (HR1 & HR2). Hill The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The workload will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. SPEED INCLINE Fat Burn The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat.
SELECTING A PROGRAM 1. Press the Speed 5/6 keys to view the programs on the screen then press the Enter key to select the program you would like to perform. The display will prompt you through the programming steps or you can just press the Start key to begin the program using the preset program values for age, weight and other program specific information. 2. If Enter was pressed, the Message Window will display Age. You may use any of the 5/6 keys to adjust your age. After adjusting press the Enter key.
USER PROGRAMS 1. Select User 1 or User 2 via the Speed 5/6 keys then press Enter. Note that the dot matrix display portion will have a single row of dots at the bottom (Unless there is a previously stored program). If there is a program stored under the button that is pressed, it will be retrieved. If not, you have the option of programming in your first name. The Message Window will display and flash the letter ”A” .
HEART RATE PROGRAMS Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (SOLD SEPARATELY) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 3. Position the transmitter with the SOLE logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
HEART RATE PROGRAMMING CAUTION! Heart Rate programs are intended for wireless transmitter chest strap only. Do not use Pulse Grip bar for Heart Control. You must receive a strong/steady value in the Heart Rate Window (See Using Heart Rate Transmitter section for instructions on how to use). The HR1 program has a default level that is 60% of your projected heart rate maximum. This program is geared for individuals with fat loss as a goal.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE BELT & DECK Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the 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. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt.
TREAD-BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. TO SET TREAD-BELT TRACKING A 6 mm Allen wrench (99) is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph.
BELT/DECK LUBRICATION First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the length of the entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment. Do not lubricate with anything other than Sole Fitness approved lubricant.
