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.
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.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2 m) of clearance behind it and 2 ft.
(0.5 m) 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.
14. 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
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 29 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.
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT).
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 325 pounds (147 kg).
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
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. 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 athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit
breaker to the “off” position when the tread-
mill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5
for the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)
10. 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.
20. 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 27.) You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 10.
21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-

player when you are not using them.
26. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
23. When using iFIT programs, an electronic
“chirping” sound will alert you when the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.
In some instances, the speed and/or incline
may change before the personal trainer de-
scribes the change.
27. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
28.
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.
24. When using iFIT programs, you can manually
override the speed and incline settings by
pressing the speed and incline buttons.
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the

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.
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.
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 product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

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).

Grounded Outlet Box
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.
Adapter
Surge Suppressor
Lug
Metal Screw
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-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

or videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone num-
ber on the front cover of this manual.
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec-
tive and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the con-
sole is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill
can be changed with the touch of a button. As you ex-
ercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 26).
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
grams directly from our Web site. See www.iFIT.com
for more information.
In addition, the console features eight preset pro-
grams—two Walk programs, two Jog programs, and
four Run programs. Each program automatically con-
trols the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides
you through an effective workout. You can even create
Custom programs and save them for future use. The
console also offers two Heart Rate programs that con-
trol the speed and incline of the treadmill to help you
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings.
Note: The Heart Rate programs require the use of the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To turn on the power, follow the steps on page 12. To
use the main menu of the console, see page 12. To
use the manual mode, see page 13. To use a preset
program, see page 16. To create and use a Custom
program, see pages 17 and 18. To use a Heart Rate
program, see page 19. To use an iFIT MP3, CD, or
video program, see page 23. To use an iFIT program
directly from our Web site, see page 25.
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 30).
The console also features iFIT interactive technology.
Having iFIT technology is like having a personal trainer
in your home. Using a stereo audio cable, you can con-
nect the treadmill to your portable stereo, home stereo,

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, 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 3 to 4 inches (7 to
10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the
walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, in-
sert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking 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, remove the key and
a
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to turn
the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left
rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be
careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the
power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a
few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
b
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each edge of the
walking belt 3 to 4 inches (7 to 10 cm) off the walking
platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered.
Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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.
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 and 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 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.
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 and 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 higher 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
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
