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.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two  
feet on each side. 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.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor 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 6 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 10).  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or oxygen is administered.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
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.  
16. To protect the treadmill and TV during light-  
ning storms, unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet and disconnect the cable system.  
This will prevent damage due to lightning and  
power line surges.  
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.  
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
18. 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.  
9. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),  
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. 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 6  
for the location of the circuit breaker.)  
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 PROFORM 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. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 7, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 22.)  
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20  
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
25. The treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use the treadmill in any  
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
26. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not  
remove the cover or the back of the televi-  
sion. There are no user serviceable parts in-  
side. Refer servicing to qualified service per-  
sonnel.  
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.  
27. Upon completion of any service or repairs to  
the treadmill or the television, ask the service  
technician to perform safety checks to con-  
firm that the unit is in proper operating con-  
dition.  
22. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill every three months.  
23. Never drop or insert any object into any open-  
ing.  
Note to CATV system installer: This reminder  
is provided to call the CATV system in-  
staller’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC  
that provides guidelines for proper grounding  
and, in particular, specifies that the cable  
ground shall be connected to the grounding  
system of the building, as close to the point  
of cable entry as practical.  
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. 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.

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 PROFORM 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  
treadmill to keep your heart rate near target heart rate  
settings while you exercise.  
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of  
features designed to help you get the most from your  
workouts.  
Whether you select the manual mode or a program,  
you can enjoy the shows of your choice on the per-  
sonal television while you get in shape.  
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the  
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with  
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console  
will display continuous exercise feedback. You can  
even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse  
sensor.  
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the  
steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset program,  
see page 14. To create and use a custom program,  
see pages 16 and 17. To use a heart rate program,  
see page 18. To operate the personal television, see  
page 20.  
In addition, the console offers ten preset programs.  
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-  
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-  
tive workout. You can even create custom workout pro-  
grams and store them in memory for future use.  
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of  
the console, peel off the plastic. To prevent damage to  
the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes while  
using the treadmill. The first time the treadmill is used,  
observe the alignment of the walking belt, and center  
the walking belt if necessary (see page 24).  
Four heart rate programs are also offered. Each pro-  
gram automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the

will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note: After  
the buttons are pressed, it may take a moment for  
the walking belt to reach the selected speed setting.  
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER  
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to  
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-  
perature before turning on the power. If you do not  
do this, the console displays or other electrical  
components may become damaged.

CAUTION:  
If you have heart prob-  
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and  
have been inactive, do not use the heart rate  
programs. If you are taking medication regu-  
larly, consult your physician to find whether  
the medication will affect your exercise heart  
rate.  
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate program, press the Heart  
Rate button repeatedly until “P-11,” “P-12,” “P-13,”  
or “P-14” appears in the right display.  
If heart rate program 11 is selected, a pulse  
symbol will scroll across the matrix in the left dis-  
play. If heart rate program 12, 13, or 14 is se-  
lected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of  
the program will appear in the matrix in the left  
display.  
If heart rate program 12, 13, or 14 is selected,  
the letters “PLS” and the maximum target heart  
rate setting for the program will begin to flash in  
the right display. If desired, change the maximum  
target heart rate setting by pressing the + or – but-  
ton beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE IN-  
TENSITY on page 25). Then, press the Enter but-  
ton. Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting  
is changed, the intensity level of the entire pro-  
gram will change.  
Note: During heart rate program 11, your heart  
rate will remain near a target heart rate setting  
that you select. During heart rate programs 12,  
13, or 14, your heart rate will reach approximately  
85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate.  
Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by  
subtracting your age from 220. For example, if  
you are 30 years old, your age-predicted maxi-  
mum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30  
= 190).

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.  
During all heart rate programs, the console will  
regularly compare your heart rate to the target  
heart rate setting for the current segment. If your  
heart rate is too far below or above the target  
heart rate setting, the speed of the walking belt  
will automatically increase or decrease to bring  
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-  
ting.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor continuously during a pulse program; how-  
ever, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor fre-  
quently. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse  
sensor, keep your hands on the metal con-  
tacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: When you  
are not holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the let-  
ters “PLS” will appear in the display instead of  
your heart rate.  
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low  
at any time during the program, you can adjust the  
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,  
when the console compares your heart rate to the  
target heart rate setting, the speed of the treadmill  
may automatically change to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting.  
Press the Start button or the Speed increase  
button to start the program.  
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-  
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and  
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails  
and begin walking.  
If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters “PLS” will flash in the right display and  
the speed of the treadmill may automatically de-  
crease.  
Heart rate program 11 is divided into several  
one-minute segments. The same target heart rate  
setting is programmed for all segments. (For a  
shorter workout, simply stop the program before it  
ends.) Heart rate programs 12, 13, and 14 are  
divided into either 20 or 30 one-minute segments.  
One target heart rate setting is programmed for  
each segment. Note: The same target heart rate  
setting may be programmed for two or more con-  
secutive segments.  
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop  
button. To restart the program, press the Start but-  
ton or the Speed increase button. The walking belt  
will begin to move at 1 mph. When the console  
compares your heart rate to the target heart rate  
setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
may automatically change to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting.  
If heart rate program  
12, 13, or 14 is se-  
lected, the target heart  
rate setting for the first  
segment will be shown

this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or  
other electric appliances. Try changing the position of other electric appliances to correct the  
problem. Make sure that the treadmill is plugged into its own electrical circuit.  
• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path  
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects.  
• Blue Screen—If the cable channel signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue  
screen may appear.  
Note: If one of these symptoms appears, the symptom may be caused by the local cable com-  
pany signal reception. Contact the local cable company.

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
