TROUBLESHOOTING - HEART RATE
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing, home
security systems or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handlebars 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.
Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.
PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary
to get you and your Horizon Fitness treadmill running again!
WARNING
DO NOT stand on running belt while
calibrating – stand on the guide
rails. Treadmill will fluctuate between
low and high speeds for several
minutes until calibration is complete.
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.
WHY IS THE TREADMILL I PURCHASED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise
than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay
floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is
placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is
considered normal noise.
TROUBLESHOOTING - TREADMILL
Your treadmill is designed to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you experience a problem, please reference the
troubleshooting guide listed below.
PROBLEM: If you have attempted to
move the treadmill from the box and
the machine has sprung open and
cannot be assembled.
SOLUTION: The air shocks have been engaged prematurely. To correct this, tilt the machine on its nose by lifting
the deck (light end) upwards. Fold down the deck so that it is horizontal. You may now proceed with the assembly.
PROBLEM: The console does not light up and/or the belt does not move.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
DOES THE RED LIGHT ON THE ON/OFF SWITCH LIGHT UP?
IF YES:
