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. 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 TROU-  
BLESHOOTING on page 26 if the treadmill is  
not working properly.)  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and  
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the  
treadmill on a surface that blocks any air  
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from  
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
13. Read, understand, and test the emergency  
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see  
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13).  
14. 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 put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
15. 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.  
16. 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.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
7. The treadmill should be used only by persons  
weighing 136 kg (300 lbs.) or less.  
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key and unplug  
the power cord when the treadmill is not in  
use.  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
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.  
18. 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 24.)  
You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to  
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully engaged.  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page  
11), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-  
cuit. No other appliance should be on the  
same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an  
ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted  
to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be  
used.  
20. When using iFIT.com 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.  
11. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-  
faces.

tings by pressing the speed and incline but-  
tons. However, when the next “chirp” is  
heard, the speed and/or incline will change

The treadmill console offers a selection of features  
designed to make your workouts more effective. When  
you select the manual mode of the console, you can  
change the speed and incline of the treadmill 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 optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23).  
The console also features ten trainer programs. Each  
trainer program automatically controls the speed and  
incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an ef-  
fective workout. In addition, the console offers two  
heart rate programs. Each heart rate program adjusts  
the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart  
rate near a target heart rate during your workout. Note:  
You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use  
the heart rate programs.

Heart rate program 1 will automatically adjust the speed  
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within  
a preset range during your workout. Heart rate program  
2 will keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting  
that you select.  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 7 on page 14.  
CAUTION:  
If you have heart prob-  
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.  
When you are finished exercising, remove the  
key from the console.

If heart rate program 1  
is selected, the maxi-  
mum target heart rate  
setting of the program  
will appear in the display.  
If desired, press the in-  
crease and decrease buttons beside the Heart  
Rate Programs button to change the maximum  
target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTEN-  
SITY on page 28). Note: If you change the maxi-  
mum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of  
the entire program will change.  
During both heart rate programs, 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 walking belt will automatically in-  
crease or decrease to bring your heart rate closer  
to the target heart rate setting. If the speed of the  
walking belt reaches 12 km/h and your heart rate  
is still too far below the target heart rate setting,  
the incline of the treadmill will also increase.  
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the target  
heart rate setting for the program will be dis-  
played. If desired, press the increase and de-  
crease buttons beside the Heart Rate Programs  
button to change the target heart rate setting (see  
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 28). Note: The  
same target heart rate setting will be programmed  
for the entire program.  
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low  
at any time 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 target heart rate setting, the speed and/or in-  
cline 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 increase  
button to start the program.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters “PLS” will flash in the display and the  
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automat-  
ically decrease.  
A moment after you press the button, the treadmill  
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-  
cline settings of the program. Hold the handrails  
and begin walking.  
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop  
button. The time will begin to flash in the display.  
To restart the program, press the Start button or  
the Speed increase button. The walking belt will  
begin to move at 2 km/h. When the console com-  
pares your heart rate to the target heart rate set-  
ting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may  
automatically change to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting.  
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one-minute  
segments. One target heart rate setting is pro-  
grammed for each segment. (Note: The same tar-  
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two  
or more consecutive segments.) Heart rate pro-  
gram 2 is divided into 100 one-minute segments.  
The same target heart rate setting is programmed  
for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, sim-  
ply stop the program before it ends.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm2 (14-gauge) cord that is no longer  
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).  
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-  
b
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-  
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE  
5–7 cm  
POWER CORD. Using the hex key, 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 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3  
in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the  
walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord,  
Rear Roller Bolts  
insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.  
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.  
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please see the front cover of this manual.

SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key  
a
and 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  
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left  
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 edge of the walking  
belt 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the walking platform. Be  
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug

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 pulse sensor is intended only as an exer-  
cise 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  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
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.  
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-  
exercise 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
