IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-  
structions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. ICON as-  
sumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of  
this product.  
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-  
sult your physician. This is especially impor-  
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-  
sons with pre-existing health problems.  
of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appli-  
ance should be on the same circuit. Do not  
use an extension cord.  
12. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 12. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local PROFORM dealer or call the tele-  
phone number on the front cover of this man-  
ual and order part number 146148, or see your  
local electronics store.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
3. Use the treadmill only as described.  
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2  
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the  
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-  
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-  
age, place a mat under the treadmill.  
13. 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.  
5. 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. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
15. 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 on page 26 if the treadmill is  
not working properly.)  
7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
8. The treadmill should be used only by per-  
sons weighing 350 lbs. (159 kg) or less.

treadmill at a time.  
17. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose  
clothes that could become caught in the  
treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recom-  
mended for both men and women. Always  
wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill  
with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in  
sandals.  
18. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to  
avoid sudden jumps in speed.  
19. 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.  
11. When connecting the power cord (see page  
12), plug the power cord into a surge sup-  
pressor (not included) and plug the surge  
suppressor into a grounded circuit capable

DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning the  
treadmill, and before performing the mainte-  
nance and adjustment procedures described in  
this manual. Never remove the motor hood un-  
less instructed to do so by an authorized ser-  
vice representative. Servicing other than the  
procedures in this manual should be performed  
by an authorized service representative only.  
21. 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 24.)  
You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg)  
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
26. This treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use this treadmill in a commer-  
cial, rental, or institutional setting.  
22. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

ASSEMBLY  
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call 1-800-445-2480.  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. 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 perfor-  
mance. 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.  
Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver  
adjustable wrench , needlenose pliers , and rubber mallet  
,
.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is  
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses  
is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preattached  
to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assem-  
bly. Extra hardware may be included.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
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 homeʼs 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 telephone  
number on the front cover of this manual 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-

sor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see step 7).  
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and  
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest  
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting  
when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi-  
tion or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re-  
move the key from the console and put it in a secure  
place.  
As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar will  
indicate the approximate intensity level of your ex-  
ercise. For example, if eight of the indicators in the  
bar are lit, the bar shows that your intensity level is  
ideal for aerobic exercise.  
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch  
the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and  
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do  
not do this, the electrical components of the  
treadmill may wear prematurely.

for five minutes and then press the switch back in.  
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for  
five minutes, and then plug it back in.  
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key into the console.  
d. If the treadmill still will not run, please see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The console displays remain lit when you remove the key from the console  
SOLUTION: a. The console features a display demo mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is displayed in a  
store. If the displays remain lit when you remove the key, the demo mode is turned on. To turn off  
the demo mode, hold down the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays are still lit, see THE  
INFORMATION MODE on page 22 to turn off the demo mode.  
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly  
SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG  
THE POWER CORD. With the help of a second  
person, carefully tip down the Uprights (74, 78).  
There may be two #8 x 2" Screws (105) in the bot-  
tom of the Belly Pan (73). If there are, remove  
them. Note: A Phillips screwdriver with a shaft at  
least 5 in. (13 cm) long is required. Raise the

Locate the Reed Switch (71) and the Magnet (50)  
on the left side of the Pulley (51). Turn the Pulley  
until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch.  
Make sure that the gap between the Magnet and  
the Reed Switch is about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If neces-  
sary, loosen the 3/4" Reed Switch Screw (15),  
move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten  
the Screw. Reattach the Hood (not shown). If nec-  
essary, tip down the Uprights (not shown), reattach  
the #8 x 2" Screws (not shown), and raise the  
Uprights. Run the treadmill for a few minutes to  
check for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly  
SOLUTION: a. Hold down the Stop button and the Speed increase button, insert the key into the console, and  
then release the Stop button and the Speed increase button. Press the Incline increase or de-  
crease button. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to  
the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system. If the incline does not calibrate, press  
the Stop button, and then press the Incline increase or decrease button again. When the incline is  
calibrated, remove the key from the console.  
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 12.  
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-  
b
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-  
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG  
THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both  
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn.  
When the walking belt is properly tightened, you  
should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt  
2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be  
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,  
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the  
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-  
ing belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the  
key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the  
walking belt has shifted to the left, use the hex  
key to turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a  
turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right,  
turn the bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be  
careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then,  
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the  
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-  
ing belt is centered.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of  
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your  
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after  
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin  
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to  
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training  
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your  
heart rate near the middle number in your training  
zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for persons  
over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist-  
ing health problems.  
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exer-  
cise, which is activity that requires large amounts of  
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic ex-  
ercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise  
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a  
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,  
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for  
successful results.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-  
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your  
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-  
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During  
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not  
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer  
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exercise–never hold your breath.  
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-  
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles  
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the  
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-  
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your  
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is  
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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 of regular exer-  
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each  
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to  
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your  
everyday life.
