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.  
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or  
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge protector  
away from heated surfaces.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
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.)  
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.  
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. Never start the treadmill while you are  
standing on the walking belt.  
15. Always hold the handrails while running on  
the treadmill. When walking, hold the  
handrails or use the included hand weights.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
16. CD workout programs make optional use of  
the included hand weights. Using weights and  
not holding the handrails may compromise  
your ability to maintain your balance.  
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.  
Exercises using weights should be attempted  
only by experienced users.  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
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. During CD workout programs, an electronic  
ÒchirpingÓ sound will alert you when the  
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about  
to change. Always listen for the ÒchirpÓ and  
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.  
In some instances, the speed and/or incline  
will change before the personal trainer de-  
scribes the change.  
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.  
19. During a CD workout program, you can manu-  
ally override the speed and incline settings at  
any time by pressing the speed and incline  
buttons. However, when the next ÒchirpÓ is  
heard, the speed and/or incline will change  
back to the programmed settings.  
11. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at

should be performed by an authorized service  
representative only.  
22. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.  
27. This treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use this treadmill in any commer-  
cial, rental, or institutional setting.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. A phillips screwdriver  
may be needed for assembly.

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 performance. 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.

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.

workout programsÑone program that targets fat-  
burning and one program that focuses on interval  
training for aerobic conditioning. Each program was  
specially designed by our AFAª certified personal  
trainer. A selection of other CDÕs is also available.  
Refer to the card accompanying this treadmill to pur-  
chase additional CDÕs.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system,  
your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise is  
activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for pro-  
longed 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 until your heart rate is near  
the highest number in your training zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
this or any exercise program, consult your  
physician. This is especially important for  
individuals over the age of 35 or individuals  
with pre-existing health problems.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more information about exercise,  
consult your physician or obtain a reputable book.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOU HEART RATE  
To measure your heart  
rate, stop exercising  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
and place two fingers  
on your wrist as  
shown. Take a six-  
second heartbeat  
count, and multiply the  
result by ten to find  
your heart rate. (A six-  
second count is used  
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 at the bottom of this page  
shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and  
aerobic exercise.  
because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop  
exercising.) If your heart rate is too high or too low, ad-  
just the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below  
your age. The three numbers define your Òtraining  
zone.Ó The lowest two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning, and the highest number is  
the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include three parts: (1) a warm-  
up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.  
Fat Burning  
Warming Up  
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 energy. 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 treadmill until your heart  
rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.  
Begin each workout with five to ten minutes of stretch-  
ing and light exercise to warm up. A proper warm-up  
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circu-  
lation in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise  
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-  
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20  
to 30 minutes. Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exerciseÑnever hold your breath.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline  
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your  
training zone.  
Aerobic Exercise

Cooling Down  
Exercise Frequency  
End each workout with five to ten minutes of stretching  
to cool down. This will develop muscle flexibility and  
will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
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.  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the  
drawings at the right. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever  
bounce.  
1
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward  
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you  
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,  
back of knees and back.

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches:  
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.  
3
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
4
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your  
back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and  
move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further stretching of the  
achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:  
Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.  
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and  
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close  
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
