IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-
structions in this manual and all warnings on your incline trainer before using your incline trainer.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over age 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
trainer with bare feet, wearing only stockings,
or in sandals.
11. When connecting the power cord (see page
14), plug the power cord into a surge suppres-
sor (not included) and plug the surge sup-
pressor into a grounded circuit capable of
carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit. Do not use an
extension cord.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.
3. Use the incline trainer only as described.
12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 14. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the tele-
phone number on the front cover of this man-
ual and order part number 146148, or see your
local electronics store.
4. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
5. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind
it and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on any surface that blocks
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the incline
trainer.
13. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the incline trainer. If the control
system is damaged, the walking belt may
slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which
may result in a fall and serious injury.
6. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the incline trainer at all times.
15. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged,
or if the incline trainer is not working prop-
erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 23 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)
8. The incline trainer should be used only by
persons weighing 300 lbs. (136 kg) or less.
9. Never allow more than one person on the in-
cline trainer at a time.
16. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline
trainer (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
on page 16).

Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
incline trainer regularly.
24. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening on the incline trainer.
19. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
25.
DANGER:
Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the incline trainer, and before performing the
maintenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
20. Never leave the incline trainer unattended
while it is running. Always remove the key,
unplug the power cord, and press the power
switch into the off position when the incline
trainer is not in use. (See the drawing on page
6 for the location of the power switch.)
26. The incline trainer is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the incline trainer in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
21. Do not attempt to move the incline trainer until
it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on

ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the incline trainer in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do
not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the incline trainer
walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, some lubricant may be transferred to the
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is normal and does not affect incline trainer performance. If
there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive
cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex keys
and your own Phillips screwdriver
.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been preassembled. To avoid dam-
aging parts, do not use power tools for assembly. Extra hardware may be included.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: The incline trainer is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.
Your incline trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to the
walking belt or the walking platform. Such sub-
stances will cause excessive wear.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
(see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to
connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if
a properly grounded outlet is not available (see draw-
ing 2).

Adapter
Surge Suppressor
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni-
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could dam-
age the control system of the incline trainer (see
precaution 13 on page 3).
Lug
Metal Screw
Grounding Plug
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-
stalled 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.
The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This productʼs power cord has an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug
the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
WARNING:
Before beginning any
exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for persons over
age 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exer-
cise, which is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic ex-
ercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
