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 the treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
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 TROU-  
BLESHOOTING if the treadmill is not working  
properly.)  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not  
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks  
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. 15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
sudden jumps in speed.  
16. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as an exercise aid in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
6. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly  
assembled (see ASSEMBLY).  
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is  
running. Always remove the key, unplug the  
power cord, and move the on/off switch to the  
“off” position when the treadmill is not in use.  
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill regularly.  
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
18. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under it.  
9. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 pounds. Do not allow  
more than one person on the treadmill at a  
time.  
19. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an  
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
is about to change. Always listen for the  
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page  
9), plug the power cord into grounded circuit  
capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No  
other appliance should be on the same cir-  
cuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can  
manually override the speed and incline set-  
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-  
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”  
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change  
to the next settings of the CD or video pro-  
gram.  
11. Do not use an extension cord. Do not modify  
the power cord or use an adaptor to connect  
the power cord to an improper receptical.  
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-  
faces.

21. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR when not in use.  
24.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the treadmill, and before performing the main-  
tenance and adjustment procedures de-  
scribed in this manual. Servicing other than  
the procedures in this manual should be per-  
formed by an authorized service representa-  
tive only.  
22. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
23. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce-  
dures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so  
will void the warranty and may result in dam-  
age to the treadmill.  
25. The treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use the treadmill in a  
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose  
it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°  
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

sor should be under your clothes, tight against your  
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or  
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on  
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.  
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-  
self near the center of the walking belt. For the  
console to display heart rate readings, the user  
must be within arm’s length of the console.  
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches  
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side  
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).  
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so-  
lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit  
to a position against your chest.  
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical  
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-  
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be  
affected by magnetic interference caused by high  
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that  
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate  
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off  
when it is removed and the electrode areas are  
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be  
selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven  
programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until  
the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE  
PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main  
display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE pro-  
gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate (see step 5 on  
page 16 for an explanation of your estimated max-  
imum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE pro-  
gram will keep your heart rate near 80% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL  
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a  
percentage that you select.  
When the program is completed, remove the  
key.  
Step onto the foot rails. Remove the key from the  
console and put the key in a secure place. Note: If  
the displays and indicators on the console re-  
main lit after the key is removed, the console is  
in the “demo” mode. See page 23 and turn off  
the demo mode.  
When the treadmill is not in use, switch the on/off  
switch near the power cord to the “off” position and  
unplug the power cord.  
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the  
name of the selected program and the total pro-  
gram time will scroll across the main display. The  
words ENTER AGE and the current age setting  
will then be shown (see step 4 on page 16).  
During pulse-driven  
programs, the matrix  
will show a moving  
graphic that repre-  
sents your heart rate.  
Each time a heart-  
beat is detected, an  
additional peak will appear in the graphic.  
15

Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-  
minute segments. The main display will show both  
the time remaining in the program and the time re-  
maining in the current segment of the program.  
One target heart rate setting is programmed for  
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-  
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be  
programmed for all segments.)  
Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven  
program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-  
tons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-  
tons can be held down to enter your age quickly.  
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is  
shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound  
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next  
segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash  
in the main display to alert you before the speed  
and/or incline changes. The program will continue  
until no time remains in the program. The walking  
belt will then slow to a stop.  
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE  
program or the ENDURANCE PULSE program,  
go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL  
PULSE program, go to step 5.  
Enter a target heart rate setting.  
If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-  
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-  
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.  
5
After you have entered your age, the words  
ENTER PERCENT and the current target heart  
rate setting for the program will be shown in the  
main display. The target heart rate setting repre-  
sents a percentage of your estimated maximum  
heart rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is  
220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30  
years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is  
190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are  
30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is  
equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).  
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline  
will automatically increase; if you increase the  
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase  
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-  
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The  
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart  
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-  
rent segment. Note: When the incline reaches the  
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any  
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-  
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.  
If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters PLS will flash in the main display and  
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-  
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If  
this occurs, see the instructions on page 8.  
If desired, you can change the target heart rate  
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the  
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held  
down to change the target heart rate setting  
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from  
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.  
To stop the program at any time, press the STOP  
button. Pulse-driven programs should not be  
stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a  
pulse-driven program again, reselect the program  
and start it at the beginning.  
Press the START button to start the program.

that apply, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this  
manual.  
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON  
a. Make sure that the power cord is fully plugged into the treadmill. In addition, make sure that the power cord  
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 9).  
b. Make sure that the key is inserted into the console.  
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the power  
c

7. SYMPTOM: THE SURFACE OF THE WALKING PLATFORM IS DAMAGED  
a. Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. If the surface becomes  
damaged, or if there is any wood showing through the coating, the walking platform can be turned over. The  
walking platform typically needs to be turned over after approximately 6,000 to 7,500 miles. Follow the in-  
structions below to turn over the walking platform.  
Remove the key and unplug  
the power cord. Remove the  
two Hood Screws (2) and lift off  
the Motor Hood (1). Next, re-  
move the two Rear Roller Bolts  
(82), the two Roller Guard

Roller Guard Screws (80). Insert the Rear Roller Bolts (82) into the Roller Guards and thread them into the  
Rear Roller (79). Reattach the Motor Hood (1) with the two Hood Screws (2).  
Next, the Walking Belt (71) will need to be adjusted to  
the proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks exactly  
50” apart on the Walking Belt as shown in the drawing.  
Then, tighten both Rear Roller Bolts (82) until the two  
chalk marks move apart an additional 3/16” to 1/4”.  
Make sure to keep the Walking Belt centered.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and 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 and incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are 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 and 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 higher 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
