Power Requirements
Read and understand all instructions before plugging any TRUE power cord into an electrical outlet.
Dedicated Line
This product requires a dedicated line without GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) or AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter). GFCI and AFCI protection is not required for receptacles on a dedicated branch circuit located and identified for a cord-and-plug-connected appliance, such as a treadmill. A dedicated line assures adequate power for safe operation over the product's life.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric 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 all local codes and ordinances.
❗ DANGER:
- Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electrical shock.
- Check with a qualified electrician or service provider if you are in doubt about grounding or dedicated line installation.
- Seek a qualified electrician for any modifications to the cord or plug. TRUE is not responsible for injuries or damages from cord or plug modification.
- To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury, connect each product to a properly grounded 110V or 220V electrical outlet. The voltage required is on the serial number decal.
Some TRUE products require a circuit rated 110V, 60 Hz, and 20 amps. Most residential homes have 110V, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuits. If your unit requires a 20 amp outlet, contact an electrician to install a dedicated 20 amp circuit prior to use.
110 Volt: This model is for use on a nominal 110V circuit and has a grounding plug. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet with the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used.
Model | Line Voltage (V) | Frequency (Hz) | Rated Current (Amps) | Number of Units per Circuit | Plug/Outlet | Max Power Dissipation (Watt) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
TR2-0A-35 | 110 | 50/60Hz | 15 | Dedicated 1 | NEMA 5-15 | 1230 |
Space Requirements
TRUE recommends leaving a minimum of 24" (61cm) on each side of the equipment and a 79" (200cm) safety zone at the rear.

Proper Use
How to Use the Safety Key
The safety key is a tethered device that attaches to the user and the treadmill. Removal stops belt motion to prevent injury if the user is unable to continue.
- Attach the safety clip to your clothing before each workout and when the treadmill is in use.
- Attach the magnetic safety key to the treadmill.
Diagram Description: Shows a safety clip attached to user's clothing and a magnetic safety key attached to the treadmill console area.
❗ CAUTION: To prevent potential injury, the safety key must be attached to the treadmill and clipped to the user. The machine will not operate if the safety key is not attached.
Assembly Instructions
Note: Supplemental video available at TRUEFitnessservicevids.
Preassembly Checklist
Basic Guidelines:
- After removing from packaging, place on a clean, level surface.
- Ensure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet.
❗ DANGER: Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet. The ground helps prevent electrical damage and enhances safety. Check with a qualified electrician if unsure about grounding. Do not modify the provided plug; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
❗ CAUTION: Use caution when assembling. Unpacking and assembly is a two-person task. Avoid damage to the product during unpacking; DO NOT use a box cutter or slice into packaging.

To order parts or request service, contact TRUE product support: www.truefitness.com | 800.883.8783 | service@truefitness.com
Cleaning the Equipment
- After Each Use: Wipe exposed surfaces with GymWipesTM or a damp cloth with mild detergent solution. Wipe console with LCD/screen cleaner or a damp cloth with isopropyl alcohol/water solution.
- Weekly: Vacuum dust/dirt under/around treadmill, motor cover vents, and straddle covers. Inspect belt for proper alignment and tension.
❗ CAUTION: Do not use acidic cleaners. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow to dry completely. Vacuum frequently under the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush for the running belt; do not clean directly underneath. Keep mechanisms clean for low friction operation.
Leveling the Treadmill
The treadmill has adjustable rear leveling feet. Ensure the running surface is level. Adjust rear feet if placed on an uneven surface, though extreme unevenness may not be fully compensated.
Note: Wing nuts should be adjustable by hand; use an adjustable wrench if necessary.
Adjusting the Equipment
Running Belt Alignment
Proper alignment ensures centered belt and smooth operation. Contact TRUE product support if unsure: www.truefitness.com | 800.883.8783 | service@truefitness.com
IMPORTANT! Damage from improper belt adjustments is not covered under warranty.
❗ CAUTION:
