begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
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.
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. Assembly requires the included allen wrench

.
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 treadmill 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 or foot pads,
simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
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 sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
1
WARNING:
Do not plug in the power
cord until the treadmill is completely assembled.
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.
1. Slide the treadmill out of the box. Insert the three Cage
Nuts (96) into the three indicated holes in the treadmill.
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.
96
To insert each Cage Nut (96), first hook one side of the
Cage Nut into the hole and then use a flat-bladed screw-
driver to press the other side into the hole, as shown.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
96
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
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.
2. With the help of a second person, carefully raise both
Uprights (99) to a vertical position. Press the Latch Knob
Sleeve (111) into the left Upright and hold the Latch Knob
Spacer (112) against the left Upright.
2
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.
99
113
Remove the Latch Knob (113) from the Latch Pin (107).
Make sure that the Latch Pin Collar (109) and the Latch
Pin Spring (110) are on the Latch Pin. (Note: If there are
two Latch Pin Collars, place one on each side of the
Spring.) Insert the Latch Pin into the Latch Knob Sleeve
(111) and the Left Upright (99).
112
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.
110
107
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.
111
109
Tighten the Latch Knob (113) onto the Latch Pin (107).
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console.
3. With the help of a second person, raise the Walking
Platform (24) to the storage position and make sure that
the latch pin is engaged as described on page 26.

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.
Position the Base Plate (91) on the treadmill as shown.
Attach the Base Plate with the three Base Plate Screws
(92). Note: It may be helpful if a second person tips the
treadmill slightly as you tighten the Screws.
92
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-
If the treadmill rocks slightly, turn one or both of the
Leveling Feet (127) under the Uprights (99) until the

4. Have a second person hold the Handrails (83) near the
Uprights (99). Connect the Upright Wire Harness (119) to
the wires extending from the Console Base (80) (see the
inset drawing). The connectors should slide together
easily and snap into place. If they do not, turn one
connector and try again. Then, insert the connectors
and the Upright Wire Harness into the hole in the right
Upright.

SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, re-
move the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

TM
THE PERFORMANT LUBE WALKING BELT
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department.
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such
substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet. (See page 8.) If an ex-
tension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm2 (14-gauge) cord that is no longer than 1.5
m (5 ft.). Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break

down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.

Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your outlet.
Refer to drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into
the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the tab on the ferrite box and
clamp the ferrite box around the power cord. Fasten the included
plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off the excess plastic
tie. The plastic tie will prevent the ferrite box from sliding along the
power cord.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
You can even create custom workout programs and
store them in memory for future use.
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to help you get the most from your exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like
having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo
audio cable (included), you can connect the treadmill
to your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or
VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video pro-
grams (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available
separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs auto-
matically control the treadmill as a personal trainer
coaches you through every step of your workout. High-
energy music provides added motivation. To pur-
chase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, visit our
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 sen-
sor or the chest pulse sensor.
Eleven preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs
that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
whilst you exercise.

tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
• If you have heart problems, 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 regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise hart rate.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
during the program, you can adjust the setting
with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each
time the console compares your heart rate to the
current 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.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Heart rate programs automatically adjust the speed
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near
a target level whilst you exercise. Note: You must
wear the chest pulse sensor (see page 8) to use the
heart rate programs.
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.
time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak
will appear.
Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. (The main display
shows both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment of the
program.) One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, see page 8.
Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.

CAUTION:
If you have heart prob-
Three seconds after a heart rate program is se-
lected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current
age setting will appear in the main display. You
must enter your age to use a heart rate program.
If you have already entered your age, press the
Start button (pressing the button will not start the
program at this time). If you have not entered your
age, press the Age/Weight Set buttons to enter
your age. The buttons can be held down to enter
your age quickly. Then, press the Start button.
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory.
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.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the treadmill will automatically increase or de-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-
mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 on
page 18) and your heart rate is still too far below
the current target heart rate setting, the incline of
the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
Follow your progress with the displays.
