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.  
12. 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.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two  
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill  
on any surface that blocks air openings. To  
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place 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 28 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.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency  
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see  
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15).  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
16. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 pounds.  
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
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 treadmill  
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6 for  
the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 13),  
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 7, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 26.) 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 13. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-  
free telephone number on the front cover of  
this manual and order part number 146148, or  
see your local electronics store.

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 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). To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-free  
telephone number on the front cover of this man-  
ual 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-

In addition, the console features fourteen preset pro-  
grams. Each program automatically controls the speed  
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an  
effective workout. The console also offers four pulse  
programs that control the speed and incline of the  
treadmill to help you keep your heart rate near target  
heart rate settings. You can even create your own cus-  
tom programs and save them for future use. Note: The  
pulse programs require the use of the optional  
chest pulse sensor.  
To turn on the power, see page 15. To use the man-  
ual mode, follow the steps beginning on page 15. To  
use a preset program, see page 17. To use a pulse

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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 see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor  
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 13). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-  
sor that meets all of the specifications described on page 13. Important: The treadmill is not com-  
patible with GFCI-equipped outlets.  
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.  
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 hex key to turn the  
left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walk-  
ing 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 hex key, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4  
of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened,  
you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt  
3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to  
keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power  
cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the tread-  
mill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is  
properly tightened.  
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly  
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While 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 sys-  
tem.

PROBLEM: Television reception is poor  
SOLUTION: a. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.  
• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—Usually  
this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or  
other electric appliances. Try changing the position of other electric appliances to correct the  
problem. Make sure that th e treadmill is plugged into its own electrical circuit.  
• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path  
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects.  
• Blue Screen—If the cable channel signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue  
screen may appear.  
Note: If one of these symptoms appears, the symptom may be caused by the local cable com-  
pany signal reception.  
PROBLEM: While using an iFIT Card, you cannot hear the voice of the personal trainer  
SOLUTION: a. If you cannot hear the personal trainer’s voice while using a program on an iFIT Card, the AUDIO  
TRAINER: OFF setting is selected. See step 1 on page 24 and select the AUDIO TRAINER: ALL or  
AUDIO TRAINER: ON setting.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
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  
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  
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.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
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  
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
pulse sensor on the console.  
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.  
Fat Burning  
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

3. 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 counts, 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.

4. 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each  
leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. 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
