ASSEMBLY  
Make sure that the power cord is unplugged. 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. 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 con-  
dition 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.  
Assembly requires the included allen wrenches  
wire cutters , and adjustable wrench  
and your own phillips screwdriver  
.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT  
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.  
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

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 Sears store or call 1-800-366-7278 and  
order part number 146148, or see your local elec-  
tronics store.

Grounded Outlet Box  
Adapter  
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-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of  
features designed to make your workouts more effec-  
tive.  
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 built-in handgrip  
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see  
page 20).

programs directly from our Web site. See  
In addition, the console features four preset programs.  
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-  
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-  
tive workout. The console also offers two heart rate pro-  
grams that control the speed and incline of the treadmill  
to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate during  
your workouts. Note: You must wear the optional chest  
pulse sensor to use the heart rate programs.  
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the  
steps beginning on page 10. To use a preset

Heart rate program 1 will automatically adjust the speed  
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a  
target heart rate that you select. Heart rate program 2  
will keep your heart rate within a preset range.  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 6 on page 11.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 7 on page 11.  
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.  
When the program has ended, make sure that  
the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest set-  
ting. Next, remove the key from the console and  
put it in a safe place. Note: If the display remains  
lit after the key is removed, the console is in  
the “demo” mode. See page 20 and turn off the  
demo mode.

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 7.5 mph and your heart rate  
is still too far below the target heart rate setting,

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. If this occurs, see the instructions  
included with the optional chest pulse sensor.

To restart the program, press the Start button or  
the Speed increase button. The walking belt will  
begin to move at 1 mph. 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. The same target heart rate setting is  
programmed for all segments. (Note: For a shorter  
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.)  
Heart rate program 2 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.

b
move 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 cor-  
rectly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of  
the walking belt 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform.  
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,  
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully  
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until  
the walking belt is properly tightened.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
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  
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.  
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

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from  
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach  
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then  
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and  
back.

2. 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 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and  
groin.

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 ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons 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 but-  
tocks 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  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
