Follow this step by step guide on how to turn on Sole F63 treadmill and safely use it for the first time.
Without further ado, let’s get right into it!
How To Turn On Sole F63 Treadmill? Step by Step Guide
The first step to turn on the Sole F63 tread is to,
1. Plug in the power cord
Before committing this step it’s worth mentioning that this product must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.
Plug the power supply into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded accordingly.
2. Turn on the power button
The next step is to turn on your Sole F63 tread by pressing the power switch located at the front of the treadmill below the motor hood.
When the power is turned on, all the lights on the display will light for a short time. Then the Time and Distance windows will display Odometer readings for a short time.
3. Attach the safety key into place
Before you can start using your F63 tread, make sure your Safety key is fully inserted into the safety key port as it is necessary to turn on the tread.
The key usually has a clip that allows you to attach the key to your activewear during the workout for safety purposes.
If the safety key is detached, the treadmill will stop immediately.
4. Start walking/running
Do not start the tread before stepping onto the running surface. Step onto it from the rear, using handrails for balance. Avoid leaning in and putting your full weight on the handrails.
Press and release the Start Button to wake the tread (if not already on) and begin the belt movement at 5MPH.
You adjust the tread to the desired speed using the Fast / Slow keys. You may also use the rapid speed keys 2 through 12 to adjust the speed.

How To Use sole F63 Heart Rate Monitor?
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise.
Heart rate chest strap
The Console reads the telemetry HR signals from the Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz – 5.5kHz range.
To put on chest strap:
- Secure the strap around your chest just below the chest muscles as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
- Position the transmitter with the Sole logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
- Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
- Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine’s receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Pulse grip heart rate sensors
Sole tread Pulse Grip Heart Rate sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Pulse grip sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars.
To use, place your hands comfortably on the metal sensors located on the grips. Be careful not to place too much pressure on the grip, as this could make the pulse reading inaccurate.
After six or seven heartbeats, your pulse will be displayed in the heart-rate window.
