HOW TO OPERATE THE TREADMILL  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
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  
installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounding Pin  
The CROSSTRAINER, like any other type of sophisti-  
cated electronic equipment, can be seriously dam-  
aged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s  
power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference  
can result from weather conditions or from other appli-  
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-  
bility of the CROSSTRAINER being damaged,  
always use a surge suppressor (see drawing 1 at  
the right).

Surge Suppressor  
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores  
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge  
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage  
surge suppressor (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.  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
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  
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.  
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 at the right. 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 EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL  
training zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed  
control on the console to FAT BURN to help you main-  
tain the proper intensity level. (See page 10.)  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
this or any exercise program, consult your  
physician. This is especially important for in-  
dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals  
with pre-existing health problems.  
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. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on  
the console to AEROBIC to help you maintain the  
proper intensity level. (See page 10.)  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-  
lines only. For more information, view the included  
videocassette.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the de-  
sired 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 exer-  
cise. (This chart is also found on the console.)  
High Performance Athletic Conditioning  
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,  
set the speed control on the console to PERFOR-  
MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level.  
(See page 10.) Note: During the first few weeks of your  
exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low  
end of your training zone.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
To measure your  
heart rate, stop ex-  
ercising and place  
two fingers on  
your wrist as  
shown. Take a six-  
second heartbeat  
count, and multiply  
the result by ten to  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
on the left side of the chart (ages are rounded off to  
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to  
the right of your age. The three numbers are your  
“training zone.” The lower two numbers are recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number  
is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
find your heart  
rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart  
rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your  
heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or in-  
cline of the treadmill accordingly.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Fat Burning  
A well-rounded workout includes the following three  
important parts:  
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 energy. 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 treadmill until your  
heart rate is near one of the lower two numbers in your  
A Warm-up  
Start each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on  
page 13). A proper warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise  
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your  
muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-  
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20  
to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-  
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your train-  
ing zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly  
and deeply as you exercise—do not hold your breath.  
Exercise Frequency  
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.  
A Cool-down  
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and  
enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
Finish each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the  
right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

outs, vary the exercises from workout to workout.  
Begin with 1 set of 12 repetitions for each exercise. (A  
“repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such  
as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions per-  
formed without pausing.) As your fitness level in-  
creases, perform 2 or 3 sets for each exercise. Always  
rest for at least 1 minute after each set. When you can  
complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, you  
may choose to use heavier weights. CAUTION: The  
CROSSTRAINER includes three pairs of hand  
weights. Other hand-held weights may be used  
with the CROSSTRAINER; however, do not put  
other weights on the weight rack, or use weights  
weighing more than 20 pounds each.  
Finish each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching to  
cool down. This will increase your flexibility, and will  
help to reduce soreness.  
The CROSSTRAINER offers a variety of exercises  
designed to trim, tone, and strengthen the body.  
Please read these guidelines before using the weight  
bench. For more information, view the included video-  
cassette.  
It is very important to avoid overdoing it during the first  
few months of your exercise program, and to progress  
at your own pace. CAUTION: If you feel pain or  
dizziness at any time, stop immediately and begin  
cooling down.  
WARNING: Before beginning any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is especially  
important for persons over the age of 35 or per-  
sons with pre-existing health problems.  
EXERCISE FORM  
For the best results, correct form is important.  
Maintaining proper form means moving through the full  
range of motion for each exercise, and moving only the  
appropriate parts of the body. The photographs on the  
included chart show the correct starting and ending po-  
sitions for each exercise. Make sure to perform each  
exercise with a smooth, steady motion. Exhale as you  
exert yourself, and inhale as you return to the starting  
position; never hold your breath.  
STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES  
Your strength training program should include 3 work-  
outs each week. To give your body time to rest, work-  
outs should be on alternating days, such as Monday,  
Wednesday, and Friday.  
Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise,  
plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for  
many, and the self-discipline required to rise early and  
exercise may result in greater productivity throughout  
the day. For others, exercising before dinner offers a  
chance to wind down from the day’s activities. What-  
ever time you choose, be consistent and stick with it.  
STAYING MOTIVATED  
To stay motivated, try listening to music or watching  
television while you exercise. It may also be helpful to  
work out with a training partner. If desired, use a calen-  
dar to keep a record of your workouts, and write key  
body measurements at the end of every month.  
Each workout should include the following three  
essential parts: (1) a warm-up, (2) 6 to 10 exercises,  
and (3) a cool-down.  
Remember, the key to lasting results is to make exer-  
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your daily life.  
Begin each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching to  
warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page  
13). This will prepare the body for exercise by increas-  
ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles,  
and raising the body temperature.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Most problems can be solved by following the steps in this section. If further assistance is needed, call  
our toll-free HELPLINE at 1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time  
(excluding holidays).  
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 8). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-  
sor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (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.  
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the con-  
sole. See step 1 on page 10.  
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill  
c
frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes  
as shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset  
the circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then  
press the switch back in.

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use  
SOLUTION: a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see the drawing  
above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.  
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in.  
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. See step 1 on page 10.  
d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.  
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly  
SOLUTION: a. Check the batteries in the console. See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 9. Most problems  
are the result of drained batteries.  
b. Remove the six screws from the hood. Carefully re-  
move the hood. Locate the Reed Switch (45) and  
1/8”  
45  
the Magnet (44) on the left side of the Pulley (49).  
Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is aligned with the  
Reed Switch. Make sure that the gap between the  
Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8”. If nec-  
essary, loosen the Screw (53) and move the Reed  
Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the  
hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to  
check for a correct speed reading.

ment 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. The center of the walking belt  
should just touch the walking platform. Be careful to  
keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power  
cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few  
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly  
tightened.  
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly  
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the  
walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform.  
The center of the walking belt should just touch the  
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt  
Rear Roller Adjustment Bolts  
centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and  
run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the  
walking belt is properly tightened.

HOW TO MOVE THE CROSSTRAINER  
Before moving the CROSSTRAINER, make sure that the bench and treadmill are folded to the storage  
position, and that the lock pins are fully engaged (see HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL TO THE STOR-  
AGE POSITION on page 11, and HOW TO FOLD THE BENCH TO THE STORAGE POSITION on page 14).  
To move the CROSSTRAINER, first hold the handrails  
and place one foot on the base as shown.  
Next, tilt the CROSSTRAINER back until it rolls freely on  
the front wheels. Carefully move the CROSSTRAINER to  
the desired location. Place one foot on the base, and  
carefully lower the CROSSTRAINER until it is resting on  
the base. Never move the CROSSTRAINER without  
tipping it back, or the base pads may come off. To re-  
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while  
moving the CROSSTRAINER. Do not move the  
CROSSTRAINER over an uneven surface.
