IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,  
which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it, two feet  
on each side, and six inches in front. Do not  
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks  
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet  
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
13. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if  
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the  
treadmill is not working properly. (See  
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 27 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
14. Read, understand, and test the emergency  
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see  
TREADMILL OPERATION on page 11).  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or oxygen is administered.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 pounds. Never allow  
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.  
17. 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.  
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes  
that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended  
for both men and women. Always wear ath-  
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare  
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit  
breaker to the “off” position when the tread-  
mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5  
for the location of the circuit breaker.)  
9. When connecting the power cord (see page 11),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor  
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.  
19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 25.)  
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20  
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-  
free telephone number on the front cover of  
this manual and order part number 146148, or  
see your local electronics store.  
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill 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 treadmill walking belt is  
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the  
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor-  
mance. 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 allen wrench  
and your own phillips screwdriver  
.
For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,  
check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for

TREADMILL OPERATION  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with  
GFCI-equipped outlets.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-  
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-  
icone spray or other substances to the walking  
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will  
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive  
wear.  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man if you are in doubt as to whether the  
product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided with the product—if it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can  
result from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of  
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge  
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at  
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-free  
telephone number on the front cover of this man-  
ual and order part number 146148, or see your local  
electronics store.

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 result  
in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If  
the control system is damaged, the walking belt  
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-  
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
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.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine 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-

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
Cards containing workout programs designed to help  
you achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose  
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss pro-  
gram, or train for a long-distance run with the  
Marathon program. iFIT programs automatically control

ercise, the console will display continuous exercise  
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using  
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse  
sensor (see page 24).  
In addition, the console features twelve Cardio pro-  
grams and three Calorie programs. Each program auto-  
matically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill  
as it guides you through an effective workout. You can  
even create your own Record programs and save them  
for future use. The console also offers four Pulse pro-  
grams that control the speed and incline of the treadmill  
to help you keep your heart rate near target heart rate  
settings. Note: The Pulse programs require the use of  
the optional chest pulse sensor.  
To turn on the power, follow the steps on page 13. To  
personalize console settings, see page 13. To use  
the manual mode, see page 15. To use a Cardio pro-  
gram, see page 17. To use a Calorie program, see

HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHIONING SYSTEM  
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
The treadmill features a cushioning system that re-  
duces the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill.  
To increase the firmness of the walking platform, step  
off the treadmill and slide the cushion adjusters toward  
the front of the treadmill. To decrease the firmness,  
slide the cushion adjusters toward the back of the  
treadmill. Note: Make sure that both adjusters are  
set at the same firmness level. The faster you run  
on the treadmill, or the more you weigh, the firmer  
the walking platform should be.  
An optional chest pulse sensor adds even more fea-  
tures to the console. The chest pulse sensor offers  
hands-free operation, and enables you to use the  
Pulse programs. To purchase the optional chest  
pulse sensor, call the toll-free telephone number  
on the front cover of this manual.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (14) and the Magnet (12) on  
the left side of the Pulley (11). Turn the Pulley until the  
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that  
the gap between the Magnet and the Reed Switch is  
about 1/8”. If necessary, loosen the indicated Screw (29),  
move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the  
Screw. Reattach the hood and run the treadmill for a few  
minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 11.  
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-  
b
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be  
permanently damaged. Remove the key and UN-  
PLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the included allen  
wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counter-  
clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is prop-  
erly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of  
the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform.  
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,  
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the  
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking  
belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key  
a
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking  
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to  
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if  
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the  
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to  
overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power  
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few  
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.  
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove  
b
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using  
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise  
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-  
ened, you should be able to lift each edge of the  
walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be  
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug  
in the power cord, insert the key, and walk on the  
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking  
belt is properly tightened.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-  
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in  
your training zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for individu-  
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-  
existing health problems.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
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.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-  
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes  
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-  
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-  
tion in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your  
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few  
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your  
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never  
hold your breath.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to  
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers define your “train-  
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the  
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-  
ercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
Fat Burning  
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, you may com-  
plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key  
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively  
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
