INTRODUCTION  
CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR  
NEW BALANCE TREADMILL  
With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start  
your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of  
your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness  
level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health  
maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.  
Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic  
exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,  
walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by  
reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in  
our bodies. Using the treadmill will help in reducing body fat and  
increasing cardiovascular endurance.  
Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.  
It is the authoritative source of information about your New Balance  
Treadmill.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TREADMILL  
WARNING: Always turn off and unplug the Treadmill  
from the electrical outlet before moving, cleaning,  
lubricating, or servicing the Treadmill.  
turn clockwise. Turn on the Treadmill and check the  
tension. If it needs additional tension, continue to  
tighten one turn at a time until the Belt is no  
longer slipping.  
Note: The Treadmill MUST be placed on a level  
surface only. If the Treadmill is not level, the belt  
will continuously slip to the low side of the Treadmill.  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE Treadmill if it is not on a  
level surface.  
Be sure to adjust both sides equally to insure correct  
Belt alignment.  
WALKING BELT CENTERING  
Have plenty of clearance behind and in front of  
your Treadmill. It is important to keep children,  
pets, furniture and other objects out of the way  
when using your Treadmill. You should have a  
minimum of 4 feet of clearance both in front of and  
behind your Treadmill and a minimum of 2 feet of  
clearance on both sides of the Treadmill.  
The Walking Belt may  
occasionally need to be  
centered.Your Treadmill  
has sight indexes that aid in  
keeping the Walking Belt  
centered.  
First, be sure the Belt is  
Worn or damaged components should be replaced  
immediately. Do not use the Treadmill if it is not  
working properly. Only manufactured-supplied or  
approved components shall be used to maintain  
and repair the Treadmill. It is the sole responsibility  
of the user/owner to ensure that regular mainte-  
nance is performed.

run the Treadmill at 4 mph.  
It is easiest to use only the

making Walking Belt center-  
ing adjustments.

(preset at 2)  
WALKING BELT TENSION  
If the Walking Belt has moved to the right, turn the Left  
Adjustment Knob a quarter turn to the left. Let the  
Treadmill run about 30 seconds,  
and if the Belt  
does not move,  
repeat.  
Walking Belts tend to stretch slightly with use. The  
Walking Belt may occasionally need to be tight-  
ened. If the Walking Belt is too loose, you may find  
the Belt stops or hesitates while running or walking.  
However, it is very important not to over-tighten the  
Walking Belt as it will damage the Motor, Rollers,  
and Electrical Components.  
When properly tensioned, you should be able to  
lift the side of the Belt about 2-3 inches, or you  
should be able to fit three fingers under the edge  
of the Belt. This should be done on either side of  
the Belt in the center of the Deck.  
If the Walking Belt has moved to the left, turn the Left  
Adjustment Knob a quarter turn to the right. Let the  
Treadmill run about 30 seconds, and if the Belt does  
not move, repeat.

WARNING: Always turn off and unplug the  
Treadmill from the electrical outlet before cleaning,  
lubricating, or servicing the Treadmill.  
WALKING BELT AND DECK LUBRICATION  
Your Treadmill Belt has been lubricated at the  
factory, but periodic lubrication will extend the  
life of your Treadmill Belt, Board, and Electrical  
Components. We recommend the following  
lubrication schedule based on weekly usage:  
CLEANING  
Keeping the Treadmill clean will prolong the life of  
the Treadmill and improve performance.  
5+ hours per week  
3 - 5 hours per week  
0 - 3 hours per week  
Monthly  
Regularly dust the unit, especially the exposed part  
of the Deck between the Belt and the Side Rails.  
Every three months  
Every six months  
For best performance, we recommend your  
Treadmill be placed on a Treadmill Mat. A Treadmill  
Mat will help to keep dust debris away from your  
Treadmill's electrical components.  
LUBRICATION APPLICATION  
1. Put a liberal quantity of lubricant onto foam  
side of the Applicator Wand. Apply lubricant  
evenly across the foam pad.  
Clean the top of the Belt with a damp cloth. Be  
careful to keep liquid away from inside the frame  
or underneath the Belt.

At least once a year remove the Motor Cover and  
vacuum under the Motor Cover.

To remove the cover: After turning off and unplug-  
ging the Treadmill, loosen the screws (you do not  
have to remove the screws) on each side (2) and  
in the front (2) of the Motor Cover and carefully lift  
the cover off. Be careful, especially around the  
wiring on the lower board.  
2. Insert the Applicator Wand into the lubrication  
port on the right hand side of the Treadmill,  
under the Walking Belt with the lubricated side  
of the Applicator Wand up, against the Belt.  
Slide it completely across the Walking Deck  
into the lubrication port on the left side of  
the Treadmill.

USING THE PULSE FUNCTION  
1400/1500  
The Pulse Window on your Computer works in  
conjunction with the Pulse Sensors found on the  
Console. When you are ready to read your pulse:  
1. Place both hands firmly on the Pulse Sensors.  
For the most accurate reading, it is important  
to use both hands.  
2. Look at your Pulse Window. The “P” will begin  
to blink.  
3. Your estimated heart rate will appear in the  
window approximately 6 seconds after you  
grasp the Pulse Sensors.  
4. Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone Chart  
found on page 26 of this manual. For additional  
information about the importance of working  
within certain heart rate ranges, see pages  
24 - 25 – Measuring Your Heart Rate.  
Pulse Sensors  
When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors  
and display monitor provide a reasonably  
accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This  
estimate is not exact and persons with medical  
conditions and/or a specific need for accurate  
heart rate monitoring should not rely on the  
estimations provided.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
IMPORTANT  
Please review this section before you begin exercising.  
KNOWING THE BASICS  
IMPORTANT:  
If you are over 35 and have been inactive  
for several years, you should consult your  
physician, who may or may not recommend a  
graded exercise test.  
Physical fitness is most easily understood by  
examining its components, or "parts".  
There is widespread agreement that these  
five components comprise the basics of  
physical training:  
If you are just beginning your exercise program,  
your target heart rate range should be roughly at  
60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become  
more conditioned (or if you are already in good  
cardiovascular shape) you can increase your  
target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum  
heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is  
only a guide.  
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE – the ability  
to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and to  
remove wastes, over sustained periods of time.  
Using your Treadmill will improve this.  
MUSCULAR STRENGTH – the ability of a muscle to  
exert force for a brief period of time. Upper-body  
strength, for example, can be measured by various  
weight-lifting exercises.  
You should also consult your physician if you  
have the following:  
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – the ability of a muscle,  
or a group of muscles, to sustain repeated contrac-  
tions or to continue applying force against a fixed  
object. Push ups are often used to test endurance  
of arm and shoulder muscles.  
• High blood pressure  
• High cholesterol  
• Asthma  
• Heart trouble  
FLEXIBILITY – the ability to move joints and use  
muscles through their full range of motion. The sit-  
and-reach test is a good measure of flexibility of  
the lower back and backs of the upper legs.  
• Family history of early stroke or  
heart attack deaths  
• Frequent dizzy spells  
• Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion  
• Arthritis or other bone problems  
BODY COMPOSITION – often considered a compo-  
nent of fitness. It refers to the makeup of the body  
in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue and  
organs) and fat mass. An optimal ratio of fat to lean  
mass is an indication of fitness, and the right types  
of exercises will help you decrease body fat and  
increase or maintain muscle mass. To help track  
your progress we have provided Workout Progress  
Chart on page 30.  
• Severe muscular, ligament or  
tendon problems  
• Other known or suspected disease  
• If you experience any pain or tightness  
in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or  
shortness of breath, stop exercising  
immediately. Consult your physician  
before continuing.  
• Pregnant  
A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM  
• Balance impairment  
How often, how long and how hard you exercise,  
and what kinds of exercises you do should be  
determined by what you are trying to accomplish.  
Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health,  
skills, interest and convenience are among the  
factors you should consider. For example, an  
athlete training for high-level competition would  
follow a different program than a person whose  
goals are good health and the ability to meet  
work and recreational needs.  
• Taking medications that affect heart rate  
Your exercise program should include something  
from each of the four basic fitness components  
23

described previously. Each workout should begin  
with a warm up and end with a cool down. As a  
general rule, space your workouts throughout the  
week and avoid consecutive days of hard  
exercise.  
a certain degree on your age, and is determined  
by measuring your heart rate in beats per minute.  
Refer to the “Measuring Your Heart Rate” section  
below and on the following page for more  
information on how to determine and measure  
your heart rate.  
Here are the amounts of activity necessary for the  
average healthy person to maintain a minimum  
level of overall fitness. Included are some of the  
popular exercises for each category.  
You can do different types of aerobic activities, say  
walking one day, and use your Treadmill the next.  
Make sure you choose an activity that can be  
done regularly, and is enjoyable for you. The  
important thing to remember is not to skip too  
many days between workouts or fitness benefits  
will be lost. If you must lose a few days, gradually  
work back into your routine.  
WARM UP 5-10 minutes of exercise such as  
walking, slow jogging, knee lifts, arm circles or  
trunk rotations. Low intensity movements that  
simulate movements to be used in the activity  
can also be included in the warm up.  
MUSCULAR STRENGTH – a minimum of two, 20  
minute sessions per week that include exercises for  
all the major muscle groups. Lifting weights is the  
most effective way to increase strength.  
WHEN TO EXERCISE  
The hour just before the evening meal is a popular  
time for exercise. The late afternoon workout  
provides a welcome change of pace at the  
end of the work day and helps dissolve the day's  
worries and tensions.  
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – at least three, 30 minute  
sessions each week that include exercises such as  
calisthenics, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and weight  
training for all the major muscle groups.  
Another popular time to work out is early  
morning, before the work day begins. Advocates  
of the early start say it makes them more alert  
and energetic on the job.  
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE – at least  
three, 20 minute workouts of continuous aerobic  
exercise each week. Working out on your Treadmill  
is a good way to obtain this aerobic activity. Other  
popular aerobic conditioning activities include brisk  
walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, rope jumping,  
rowing, cross-country skiing, and some continuous  
action games like racquetball and handball.  
Among the factors you should consider in  
developing your workout schedule are personal  
preference, job and family responsibilities,  
availability of exercise facilities and weather. It's  
important to schedule your workouts for a time  
when there is little chance that you will have to  
cancel or interrupt them because of other  
demands on your time.  
FLEXIBILITY – 10-12 minutes of daily stretching  
exercises performed slowly, without a bouncing  
motion. This can be included after a warm up or  
during a cool down. Refer to pages 27 and 28  
for a list of total body stretches.  
You should not exercise strenuously during  
extremely hot, humid weather or within two  
hours after eating. Heat and/or digestion both  
make heavy demands on the circulatory system,  
and in combination with exercise can be an  
over-taxing double load.  
COOL DOWN – a minimum of 5-10 minutes of  
slow walking or lower intensity elliptical exercise,  
combined with stretching.  
MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE  
AEROBIC EXERCISE:  
(see chart on page 26)  
HOW MUCH? HOW OFTEN?  
Heart rate is widely accepted as a good method  
for measuring intensity during running, swimming,  
cycling, and other aerobic activities. Exercise that  
doesn't raise your heart rate to a certain level and  
keep it there for 20 minutes won't contribute  
significantly to cardiovascular fitness.  
Experts recommend that you do some form of  
aerobic exercise at least three times a week for a  
minimum of 20 continuous minutes. Of course, if  
that is too much, start with a shorter time span and  
gradually build up to the minimum. Then gradually  
progress until you are able to work aerobically for  
20-40 minutes. If you want to lose weight, you may  
want to do your aerobic workout five times a week.  
The heart rate you should maintain is called your  
Target Heart Rate. There are several ways of arriving  
at this figure. One of the simplest is: maximum heart  
rate (220 - age) x 70%. Thus, the target heart rate for  
a 40 year-old would be 126. In this example for this  
It is important to exercise at an intensity vigorous  
enough to cause your heart rate and breathing to  
increase. How hard you should exercise depends to

40 year old to get a cardiovascular effect the  
individual would need to keep their heart rate  
at or above 126 beats per minute to get a  
cardiovascular effect. Note: Although 70% was  
used in this example, the heart rate range needed  
to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of  
your maximum heart rate.  
CLOTHING  
All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to  
permit freedom of movement, and should make  
the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.  
Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such  
garments interfere with the evaporation of  
perspiration and can cause body temperature  
to rise to dangerous levels.  
If you are just beginning your exercise program,  
your target heart rate range should be roughly at  
60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become  
more conditioned (or if you are already in good  
cardiovascular shape) you can increase your  
target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum  
heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is  
only a guide.  
We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a  
rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.  
TIPS TO KEEP YOU GOING  
1. Adopt a specific plan and write it down.  
When checking heart rate during a workout, take  
your pulse within five seconds after interrupting  
exercise because it starts to go down once you  
stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and  
multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.  
2. Keep setting realistic goals as you go along,  
and remind yourself of them often.  
3. Keep a log to record your progress and make  
sure to keep it up-to-date. See page 30.  
4. Include weight and/or percent body fat  
measures in your log. Extra pounds can easily  
creep back.  
Remember, your New Balance Treadmill also comes  
with pulse sensors located on the Console.  
When used properly, the unit pulse sensors  
can help you to determine your estimated  
heart rate. To do so:  
5. Upgrade your fitness program as you progress.  
Your Treadmill provides different workout  
programs to keep your workouts challenging.  
1. Push the start button on your Computer.  
6. Enlist the support and company of your family  
2. Gently grab both metal pulse sensors on  
and friends.  
both handlebars. Wait 6 seconds.  
7. Update others on your successes.  
3. Your estimated heart rate range will be  
displayed on screen. Check the chart on the  
following page to see if you are within your  
range according to your age.  
8. Avoid injuries by pacing yourself and including  
a warm up and cool down period as part of  
every workout. See page 24.  
9. Reward yourself periodically for a job well done!  
When used properly, the heart rate pulse  
sensors and display monitor provide a  
reasonably accurate estimate of your  
actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact  
and persons with medical conditions and/or  
a specific need for accurate heart rate  
monitoring should not rely on the  
estimations provided.  
By using the chart on the next page you can see  
where your heart rate falls in the minimum and  
maximum target zones.  
The above are guidelines, people with any  
medical limitations should discuss this formula  
with their physician.

WARM UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES  
Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles  
that results from repetitive sport movements that require a limited range  
of motion. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is recommended. This can  
be done when warming up or cooling down. When performing these  
stretches, your movements should be slow and smooth, with no bouncing  
or jerking. Move into the stretch until you feel a slight tension, not pain, in  
the muscle and hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Breathe slowly and  
rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath. Remember that all stretches  
must be done for both sides of your body.  
1. Quadriceps Stretch  
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand  
to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel  
towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your  
foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close  
together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you  
feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh.You do not have  
to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you  
feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and  
keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing  
outward.)  
Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.  
2. Calf and Achilles Stretch  
Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or chair  
with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed for-  
ward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the  
other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and  
keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair.  
Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your  
hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your  
back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles.  
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.  
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch  
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly  
bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching  
down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite  
shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your back as far as  
you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite hand  
and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling  
on the elbow.  
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite arm.

4. Back Stretch  
Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and your knees  
slightly bent. Bend forward from your waist with your arms  
extending loosely in front of your body. Gently bend from  
the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go.  
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat.  
5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch  
Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in  
front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With  
your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg  
and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch  
in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean forward from the hip  
joint rather than bending at your waist.  
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.  
6. Buttocks, Hips and Abdominal Stretch  
Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against the floor.  
Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both shoulders flat on the  
floor, gently grasp the bent knee with your hands and pull it over  
your body and towards the ground.You should feel a stretch in  
your hips, abdominals and lower back.  
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat for opposite side.  
7. Inner Thigh Stretch  
Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of your feet
