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 had delivered 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 con-
crete 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.
If your treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call your
service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made
over the phone.
MAINTENANCE
What kind of routine maintenance is required?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so
lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is
to simply wipe your perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
How do I clean my Horizon Fitness Treadmill?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use
solvents on plastic parts.
Tensioning the running 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 sized Allen wrench (Alpine -
8mm, Paragon II/Quantum II/Omega II - 6mm), turning it 1/4
TURN as shown below. Try the treadmill again to check for slip-
ping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more
than 1/4 turn at a time. The belt tension is set properly when the
running belt is 1/4 of an inch from the deck.
If the belt is too far to the left side:
1. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise (tighten).
2. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn
counterclockwise (loosen).
If the belt is too far to the right
side:
1. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise (tighten).
2. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn
counterclockwise (loosen).
Centering the belt
If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the
supplied Allen wrench to turn the right tension bolt
clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered
during use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this Treadmill.
When using an electrical product, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this HORIZON
FITNESS Treadmill
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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt cir-
cuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such as
the one illustrated below may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a prop-
erly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.
