IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
DANGER:  
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. Keep the power cord and the surge protector  
away from heated surfaces.  
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  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill 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  
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
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. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
16. 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.  
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. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill over-  
heating, do not operate the treadmill continu-  
ously for longer than one hour.  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
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.)  
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.  
19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO MOVE  
THE TREADMILL on page 13.) You must be  
able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to  
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),  
plug the power cord into a surge protector  
(not included) and plug the surge protector  
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.  
20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.  
11. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at  
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or  
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.  
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord  
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a  
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge  
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-  
propriate outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
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. They 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 protector to a 2-pole recep-  
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-  
let 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 productÑif it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-  
stalled by a qualified electrician.  
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.  
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-  
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off.

sibility of your tread-

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and  
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department toll-  
free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).  
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON  
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is plugged into  
a properly grounded outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.) Use only a UL-listed  
surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.  
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console as far as it will  
go. See step 1 on page 8.  
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the  
c
power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit  
breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five  
minutes and then press the switch back in.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
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. It may also be helpful to use one of  
the consoleÕs FAT BURN programs (see pages 10 to 13).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó 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. It may also be helpful to use one of the consoleÕs  
AEROBIC programs (see pages 10 to 13).  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. RememberÑthese are general guide-  
lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-  
tain 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-upÑStart 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 ExerciseÑAfter 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 exerciseÑnever  
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 Òtrain-  
ing zone.Ó The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A Cool-downÑFinish 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  
pulse sensor on the console. 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. The key  
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
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
