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 the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
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 BE-
FORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2 m (8 ft.) 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.
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
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.
6. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly
assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE
TREADMILL on page 7).
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
treadmill.
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended 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 treadmill
is not in use.
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
9. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 160 kg (350 lbs.).
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under it.
10. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
20. When using iFIT.com CDs, you will be alerted
by an electronic “chirping” sound 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.
11. 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.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs, 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.
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into a grounded circuit
capable of carrying 10 or more amps. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not
use an extension cord.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs from your CD
player when you are not using them.
25.
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. Servicing other than
the procedures in this manual should be per-
formed by an authorized service representa-
tive only.
23. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
24. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce-
dures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the treadmill.
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 TREADMILL
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. Assembly can be completed using the included
allen wrenches.
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.
1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brack-

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, make sure that the
power cord is unplugged. Note: It may be neces-
sary to disconnect the CATV cable from the tread-
mill, depending on how far the treadmill will be
moved.
Handrails
Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, mov-
ing it requires two persons. While one person lifts
the indicated end, firmly hold the handrails and tip
the treadmill forward until it rolls on the front wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location
and then lower it back to the level position. Note: It
may be helpful to change the incline of the treadmill
to 5% before moving the treadmill. CAUTION: To re-
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while
moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the
treadmill over uneven surfaces.

programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until
the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE
PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main
display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your
estimated maximum heart rate (refer to step 5 at
the right for an explanation of your estimated max-
imum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 80% of your
estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a
percentage that you select.
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-
ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-
play. The target heart rate setting represents a
percentage of your estimated maximum heart
rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220
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).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.

HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test program measures your relative fitness
level. For the best results, the program should be used
at a time when your energy level is high; the program
should not be used if you have already exercised dur-
ing the day. Follow the steps below to use the program.
Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included).
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next
segment. The speed and/or incline 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.

If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. To select the fitness test program, press
the MODE button repeatedly until the words FIT-
NESS TEST appear in the main display.
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline
will automatically increase; if you increase the
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The
treadmill 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.
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, refer to the instructions included with
your chest pulse sensor.

matically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will
begin to move at 2.4 kph. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
When the cool-down period is completed, the
walking belt will slow to a stop and your fitness
level will be shown in the main display. There are
ten fitness levels; fitness level 10 is the highest.
The fitness test program is divided into seven,
four-minute levels. One speed setting and one in-
cline setting are programmed for each level.
At the end of each minute of the program, a tone
will sound; when the first four-minute level is com-
pleted, a tone will sound and the main display will
show the words LEVEL 2, indicating that the sec-
ond four-minute level has begun. The incline will
then change to 4% and the speed of the walking
belt will increase to 4 kph.
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not
function while the fitness test program is selected. If
your pulse is not detected during the program, the
letters PLS will flash in the main display. If your
pulse is not detected at the end of any four-minute
level, the fitness test program will end and the
main display will show a fitness level of 0.
The fitness test program cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. However, the program
can be stopped at any time with the STOP button.
The main display will then show an estimated fit-
ness level.
At the beginning of each four-minute level, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate and the cur-
rent four-minute level is completed. The fitness
test program will then end, regardless of how
many levels remain.

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.
5
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-
ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches
on a smooth, flat surface.
3
2
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.
5
4
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,
and ankles.

Time—Beginning exercisers may wish to start
with 5 to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in
average 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
minutes. The key is to maintain your target heart
rate for the duration of the workout period.
BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE
• Effective weight loss and management
• Added protection from heart disease
• Increased strength and health of bones
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.
• Higher levels of energy for greater productivity
during the day
• Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed
day
• Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

Effective aerobic exercise has three major compo-
nents: frequency, intensity, and time:
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 treadmill at a
slower pace for at least five minutes following the
aerobic phase.
Frequency—Three to five workouts per week are
recommended. Exercise at least four times a
week for weight loss.
Intensity—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:
Stretch again at the end of your exercise
session.

Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-
ness. See step 5 on page 36.
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This
will make your heart rate stronger and easier to
feel.
Participate in strength training.
"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."

strength, you will receive the full benefits of an ex-
ercise program. You will also be less prone to in-
juries 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.
