WARNING! Connect this exercise product to a properly
grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If a treadmill should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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. Below are some common exercise goals:
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measura-
ble terms, and then put your goals in writing. The more specific
you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your
goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and weekly
segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate
motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your
Horizon Fitness Treadmill console provides you with several
readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can
track Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important
and useful of test functions.
Keeping an exercise dairy
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following
pages to make your personal exercise log book. As time goes
by you’ll be able to look back with pride at the work you’ve
done. As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how
far you’ve come.

- Improve Body Shape and Tone
- Increased Energy Level
