• 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.
PROBLEM:There is no heart rate reading.
SOLUTION: If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connection between
the electrodes and the skin. Remoisten the electrodes with water.
SOLUTION: The chest strap may not be positioned properly. Reposition the chest strap.
It may be necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap.
SOLUTION:Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the console is not
beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.
SOLUTION:The battery in the chest strap may be dead. Take the chest strap to a jewelry
store or return to Horizon Fitness for a battery replacement.
PROBLEM: Erratic or inconsistent readout.
SOLUTION: This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. Moisture on
the rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous coating of
water on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the
problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.

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 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 that a normal conversational
tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your treadmill is louder than this, Please
contact your local dealer for further assistance.
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.
