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 INCLINE TRAINER.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the INCLINE TRAINER are ad-  
equately informed of all warnings and precau-  
tions.  
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),  
plug the power cord into a grounded circuit  
capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No other  
appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not  
use an extension cord.  
2. Use the INCLINE TRAINER only as described  
in this manual.  
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-  
faces.  
3. Place the INCLINE TRAINER on a level sur-  
face, with at least eight feet of clearance be-  
hind it. Do not place the INCLINE TRAINER on  
any surface that blocks air openings. To pro-  
tect the floor or carpet from damage, place a  
mat under the INCLINE TRAINER.  
14. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the INCLINE  
TRAINER if the power cord or plug is dam-  
aged or if the INCLINE TRAINER is not work-  
ing properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on  
page 6 if the INCLINE TRAINER is not working  
properly.)  
4. Keep the INCLINE TRAINER indoors, away  
from moisture and dust. Do not place the IN-  
CLINE TRAINER in a garage or covered patio,  
or near water.  
15. Never start the INCLINE TRAINER while you  
are standing on the walking belt. Always hold  
the handrails while using the INCLINE  
TRAINER.  
5. Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER where  
aerosol products are used or where oxygen is  
being administered.  
16. The INCLINE TRAINER is capable of high  
speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments  
to avoid sudden jumps in speed.  
6. Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER until it  
is properly assembled (see HOW TO SET UP  
THE INCLINE TRAINER on page 7).  
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.  
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the  
INCLINE TRAINER.  
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the INCLINE TRAINER at all times.  
18. Never leave the INCLINE TRAINER unat-  
tended while it is running. Always remove the  
key, unplug the power cord, and switch the  
on/off circuit breaker to the off position when  
the INCLINE TRAINER is not in use.  
9. The INCLINE TRAINER should not be used by  
persons weighing more than 350 pounds.  
10. Never allow more than one person on the  
INCLINE TRAINER at a time.  
19. Do not change the incline of the INCLINE  
TRAINER by placing objects under it.  
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not wear  
loose clothes that could become caught in  
the INCLINE TRAINER. Athletic support  
clothes are recommended for both men and  
women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never  
use the INCLINE TRAINER with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
20. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you will be alerted  
by an electronic “chirping” sound when the  
speed and/or incline of the INCLINE TRAINER  
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.

21. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you can manually  
override the speed and incline settings at any  
time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE but-  
tons. However, when the next “chirp” is  
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to  
the next settings of the CD program.  
24. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce-  
dures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so  
will void the warranty and may result in dam-  
age to the INCLINE TRAINER.  
25.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the INCLINE TRAINER, and before performing  
the maintenance and adjustment procedures  
described in this manual. Servicing other than  
the procedures in this manual should be per-  
formed by an authorized service representa-  
tive only.  
22. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s from your CD  
player when you are not using them.  
23. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
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.

HOW TO SET UP THE INCLINE TRAINER  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the INCLINE TRAINER in a cleared area and remove all packing materials.  
Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the  
included allen wrenches.  
Note: The underside of the INCLINE TRAINER 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 INCLINE TRAINER performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walk-  
ing belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.  
1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (96, 107) onto the

during your workouts, and a unique fitness test pro-  
gram that measures your relative fitness level. Note:  
The pulse-driven programs and the fitness test pro-  
gram require the use of a Polar®-compatible chest  
pulse sensor (not included).  
The Basic console offers an impressive array of fea-  
tures to help you get the most from your exercise.  
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the  
speed and incline of the INCLINE TRAINER 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.  
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive  
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer right at your side. Using a male-to-male  
audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can  
connect your portable CD player to the INCLINE  
TRAINER and play special iFIT.com CD programs  
(CD’s are available separately). IFIT.com CD programs  
automatically control the speed and incline of the  
INCLINE TRAINER as a personal trainer guides you  
through every step of your workout. High-energy music  
provides added motivation. Each CD features two pro-  
grams designed by certified personal trainers. To order  
iFIT.com CD’s, call toll-free 1-877-363-8449.  
Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each pro-  
gram automatically controls the speed and incline of  
the INCLINE TRAINER to give you an effective workout.  
In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven pro-  
grams that adjust the speed and incline of the INCLINE  
TRAINER to keep your heart rate near target levels

minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years  
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190  
beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30  
years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal  
to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

(not included).  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound  
and the incline and/or speed of the INCLINE  
TRAINER will change, if needed, to bring your  
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for  
the next segment. The incline and/or speed setting  
will flash in the main display to alert you before the  
speed and/or incline changes. The program will  
continue until no time remains in the program. The  
walking belt will then slow to a stop.

cline, the speed will decrease. If you increase the  
speed, the incline will decrease; if you decrease  
the speed, the incline will increase. The INCLINE  
TRAINER will always attempt to keep your heart  
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-  
rent segment. Note: When the incline reaches the  
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any  
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-  
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.  
When the fitness test program is selected, the  
words FITNESS TEST will scroll across the main  
display. The words ENTER AGE and the current  
age setting will then be shown.

provides added motivation. Each CD features two pro-  
grams designed by certified personal trainers. To order  
iFIT.com CD’s, call toll-free 1-877-363-8449.  
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the  
speed and incline of the INCLINE TRAINER can be  
changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the  
console will provide instant exercise feedback. You can  
even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse  
sensor.  
Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each pro-  
gram automatically controls the speed and incline of  
the INCLINE TRAINER to give you an effective workout.  
In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven pro-  
grams that adjust the speed and incline of the INCLINE  
TRAINER to keep your heart rate near target levels  
during your workouts, and a unique fitness test pro-  
gram that measures your relative fitness level. Note:  
The pulse-driven programs and the fitness test pro-  
gram require the use of a Polar®-compatible chest  
pulse sensor (not included).

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE  
Regular maintenance is necessary for the optimal performance and long life of the INCLINE TRAINER.  
Please read and follow all instructions below. If the INCLINE TRAINER is not maintained as described,  
components may wear excessively, the INCLINE TRAINER may be damaged, and the warranty will be  
voided. If you have questions about maintenance, call Customer Care toll-free at 1-800-201-2109, Monday  
through Friday, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays). CAUTION: Make sure to remove the key  
and unplug the power cord before performing any maintenance procedures.  
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE  
1. Unplug the power cord. Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the INCLINE TRAINER.  
2. Apply a mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100% cotton cloth and remove any dust and grime from the handrails,  
uprights, foot rails, frame, and motor hood. In addition, wipe the walking platform along the sides of the walk-  
ing belt. Do not wipe under the walking belt. Apply a small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner to a 100%  
cotton cloth and wipe the console and the screens. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the INCLINE  
TRAINER or use ammonia or acid-based cleaners.  
3. Make sure that the walking belt is centered and properly tightened. If it is centered and runs smoothly, do not  
make any adjustments. If the walking belt needs to be adjusted, refer to pages 33 and 34.  
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE  
1. Unplug the power cord. Remove the screws attaching the  
motor hood and lift off the motor hood. Using a hand-held  
vacuum, clean the area under the electronics cover. Be care-  
ful to avoid touching any components.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Determine your target heart rate.  
3
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET  
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which  
you would like your heart to work during aerobic  
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your  
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum  
number of times that your heart can pump during  
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,  
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only  
an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress  
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.  
• Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-sugar  
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  
• Eat at least five servings of fruits and  
vegetables daily.  
• Reduce red meat consumption; eat lean meat,  
white meat, and fish.  
• Choose healthful snacks; bring healthful foods  
with you to work or in the car.  
Once you have determined your MHR, you can  
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning  
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of  
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.  
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the  
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—  
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those  
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-  
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85  
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The  
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for  
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.  
• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your  
portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat  
slowly.  
• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.  
• Pay attention to fat content and calories.  
• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.  
• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water  
daily.  
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice  
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,  
check your heart rate five minutes into your work-  
out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.  
Then, check it again near the end of your workout  
to verify that you have maintained your target  
heart rate for the recommended period of time.  
EXERCISE STEPS  
The following nine steps for designing your exercise  
program were developed by exercise physiologists at  
NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only  
a part of a safe and effective training program. There  
are many other aspects to developing a life-long  
commitment to physical fitness.

3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended.  
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and  
rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold  
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times  
for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,  
and groin.  
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS  
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,  
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are  
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.  
However, be sure to stay within your target heart  
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per  
week for 60 minutes per workout.  
4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of your  
feet together and your knees outward. Pull your  
feet toward your groin area as far as possible.  
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3  
times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable  
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head  
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders  
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your  
back straight.  
5. 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 to 30  
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.  
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Warm up before you begin.  
4
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind  
for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insur-  
ance against injury and soreness. Warm up with  
two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal in-  
tensity.  
1
Stretch after your warm-up.

A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-  
ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches  
on a smooth, flat surface.

The correct form for several stretches is described  
below (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure  
to move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent  
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.  
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you  
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for  
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.  
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.

2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—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 to 30 seconds, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further  
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back  
leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons,

BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE  
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-  
age physical condition should exercise for 20 to  
30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want  
to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 min-  
utes. The key is to maintain your target heart rate  
for the duration of the workout period.  
• Effective weight loss and management  
• Added protection from heart disease  
• Increased strength and health of bones  
• Higher levels of energy for greater productivity  
during the day  
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong  
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes  
from the start, which is common, try to exercise  
for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.  
Recent research indicates that several short  
workouts in one day can also provide fitness  
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase  
and it will become easier to exercise for longer  
periods of time.  
• Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed  
day  
• Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

Cool down after aerobic exercise.  
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:  
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"  
may help you to remember these three parts:  
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down  
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease  
slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the  
blood flow from your extremities back to your  
heart. Keep your legs moving on the INCLINE  
TRAINER at a slower pace for at least five min-  
utes following the aerobic phase.  
“F” stands for the frequency of your work-  
F
outs. Three to five workouts per week are  
recommended. Exercise at least four times a  
week for weight loss.  
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.  
Check your heart rate at least twice during

your aerobic exercise session: once during the  
session and once again at the end. Maintain a  
workout intensity level within your Target Heart  
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate  
using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method  
described below:  
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-  
ness. See step 5 on page 36.  
Participate in strength training.  
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This  
will make your heart rate stronger and easier to  
feel.  
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training  
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a  
happy life than just about anything else known to  
medical science today."  
2. Using the

tips of the index  
and middle fin-  
gers of your  
right hand,  
touch your left  
wrist, one-  
fourth inch from  
your wrist joint,  
at the base of your thumb.  
A strength-training program increases your lean  
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning  
body fat. With additional muscle mass and  
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an  
exercise program. You will also be less prone to  
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.  
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let  
the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find  
your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.

Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready  
and your heart rate has moved below your target heart  
rate zone.  
WORKOUT TIPS  
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many of  
life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for  
your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are  
some tips that will help ease you into your new  
NordicTrack routine.  
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may  
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this  
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.  
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.  
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward  
yourself as you are successful.  
• Begin and end each exercise session with the  
stretches on page 36. Stretch in a smooth,  
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to  
30 seconds. You may experience some initial  
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of  
exercising inactive or poorly stretched  
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have  
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has  
moved below your target heart rate zone.  
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching  
routine must be performed every day.  
Work out at the Advanced level once you have  
reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be  
a maintenance program and should continue on a reg-  
ular, long-term basis.  
• Be aware of your body's signals and react to  
them accordingly. At your correct exercise in-  
tensity, you should be able to whistle or main-  
tain a normal conversation. If during  
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or  
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and  
consult your physician. Your heart rate may  
also be affected by such things as stress,  
caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.  
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-  
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety  
to your workout routine and further condition your  
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been  
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition-  
ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol-  
lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower in-  
tensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resis-  
tance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to three-  
minute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exer-  
cise. The duration of these periods should be based  
more on how you feel rather than time. A sequence  
such as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times during  
your workout session.  
WORKOUT PROGRAMS  
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At  
this level you should be concerned with slowly improv-  
ing your fitness level and endurance.  
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may  
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four  
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
