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.  
12. 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 or stop unexpectedly, which may result  
in a fall and serious injury.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
13. 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. 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.  
14. 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  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 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.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 250 pounds.  
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. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
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 on/off switch to  
the off position when the treadmill is not in  
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-  
tion of the on/off switch.)  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 8),  
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 22.) You  
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in  
order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 8. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-800-  
806-3651 and order part number 146148.  
20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.  
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

22. 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.  
25. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill  
regularly.  
26. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
27.  
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. 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.  
23. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you  
can manually override the speed and incline  
settings at any time by pressing the speed  
and incline buttons. However, when the next  
“chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will  
change to the next settings of the CD or video  
program.  
24. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR when you are not  
using them.  
28. This treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use this treadmill in any commer-  
cial, rental, or institutional setting.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This  
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
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  
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.  
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other  
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-  
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking  
belt and cause excessive wear.  
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.  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
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 1-800-806-  
3651 and order part number 146148.

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  
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-  
cate 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 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-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
Each CD features two programs designed by certified  
personal trainers.  
The advanced console offers an impressive array of  
features to help you get the most from your exercise.  
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed  
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch  
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide  
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure  
your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.  
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR  
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-  
settes are available separately). Video programs offer  
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add  
the excitement of working out with a class and an  
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.  
Three preset workout programs are also offered. Each  
program automatically controls the speed and incline  
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. You  
can even create your own custom workout programs  
and store them in memory for future use.  
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you  
cess basic programs, audio programs, and video pro-  
grams directly from the internet. Additional options are

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included  
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your  
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play  
special iFIT.com CD programs (iFIT.com CDs are avail-  
able separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically

of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,  
an additional indicator may light or darken in those  
columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the  
speed setting so that all of the indicators in the  
Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings  
in the program display will not move downward as

next five segments will be shown in the five  
columns to the right.  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, both the Current Segment  
column and the column to the right will flash and a  
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or  
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the  
Speed/Pace display and/or the Distance/Incline  
display will flash to alert you, and three tones will  
sound. When the first segment is completed, all

settings move to the left, if all of the indicators in  
the Current Segment column are lit, the speed set-  
tings may move downward so that only the highest  
indicators in the columns will appear in the pro-  
gram display. When the speed settings move to  
the left again and some indicators in the Current  
Segment column are dark, the speed settings will  
move back up.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body  
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 sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including your movement,  
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.  
The 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 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  
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.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
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.  
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sen-  
sor (see page 21). If your heart rate is too high or too  
low, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
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.  
Fat Burning  
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-  
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and  
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
