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.
11. 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 in this
manual.
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
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
13. 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 27 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.
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or oxygen is administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 pounds. Never allow
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.
16. 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.
8. 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 ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for
the location of the circuit breaker.)
9. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),
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.
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 25.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM 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.
19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, 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 in-
cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per-
sonal trainer describes the change.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill every three months.
24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-
ing.
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. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can
manually override the speed and incline set-
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change
to the next settings of the CD or video program.
22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.
26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

TREADMILL OPERATION
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 PROFORM 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-

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.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 24) to use a heart rate program. While
using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the hand-
grip pulse sensor.
Enter a maximum speed setting.

beside the Enter button to adjust the target heart
rate setting. When the desired setting is shown,
press the Enter button.
During the 85% Max program, your heart rate will
reach approximately 85% of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate. During the Self Select program,
your heart rate will remain near a level that you
select. Note: Your maximum heart rate is esti-
mated by subtracting your age from 220. For ex-
ample, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220
– 30 = 190).

The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.
7
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, the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill may automatically change to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
During heart rate pro-
grams, the matrix in the
left display will show a
heart beat symbol.
Each time a heart beat
is detected, a peak will
appear.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the right display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self
Select program is selected, the same target heart
rate is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed
reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram (see step 5 on page 17) and your heart rate
is too far below the current target heart rate, the
incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
Follow your progress with the displays.

SOLUTION: a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker (see 1. c. 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. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for
five minutes, and then plug it back in.
c. Remove the key from the console and then reinsert it.
d. If the treadmill still will not run, see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly
SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE
a
POWER CORD. Next, remove the screws from the hood
and carefully remove the hood. Locate the Reed Switch
(42) and the Magnet (24) on the left side of the Pulley (23).
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 necessary, use a
slotted screwdriver to move the Reed Switch slightly.
Reattach the Hood, making sure that the Screws are in-
serted into the same holes from which they were removed.
Run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be per-
manently damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the included allen wrench,
turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walk-
ing 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 run the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

a
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt has
shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to turn the left
rear roller adjustment bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the bolt
counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to over-
tighten 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
allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts
clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is cor-
rectly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of
the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or 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 or 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 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.
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 or 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
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 highest 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
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
