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 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.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor protector away from heated surfaces.
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
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 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.
15. 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 where oxygen is being
administered.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds. Adjust
the speed in small increments to avoid sudden
jumps in speed.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 275 pounds.
17. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill over-
heating, do not operate the treadmill continu-
ously for longer than one hour.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
18. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-
vice. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
10. 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.
20. Do not raise, lower, or move the treadmill
until it is properly set up. (See HOW TO SET
UP THE TREADMILL on page 6 and HOW TO
FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page
27.) 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 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-
3651 and order part number 146148.
21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
26. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s and videos
from your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
27. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
24. When using iFIT.com CD’s 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.
28. This treadmill is intended for home use only.
Do not use this treadmill in any commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
29.
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.
25. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, you
can manually override the speed and incline
settings by pressing the speed and incline
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.

HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. A rubber mallet
may be needed for
assembly.
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
condition 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.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
1
Uprights (65) until the treadmill is in the position shown.

3. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a
secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see pages 28 and 29). To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHIONING SYSTEM
The treadmill features a cushioning system that reduces the
impact as you walk or run on the treadmill. The firmness of
the cushioning system is controlled by the adjustable cush-
ions at the center of the treadmill (there is one adjustable
cushion on each side). To select the maximum firmness set-
ting, turn the cushions to level 3; to decrease the firmness,
turn the cushions to level 2 or 1. It may be helpful to lift on
the walking platform as you rotate the cushion. Note: The
faster you run on the treadmill, or the heavier your
Adjustable Cushion
weight, the firmer the cushioning system should be.
Make sure that both cushions are at the same setting.

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all
instructions on this page and the following page.
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,
draining the battery prematurely.
The heart rate mon-

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.
If the letters “PLS” appear in the PULSE display or if
the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low,
try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-
tor exactly as described at the left. If the heart rate
monitor does not function properly when positioned
as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
The heart rate moni-
tor should be under
your clothing, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus-
cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-
side-up.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the
sensor unit to a position against your chest.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM 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
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. 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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-
800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.

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
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate 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 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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available separately).
IFIT.com CD programs automatically control the speed
and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides
you through every step of your workout. High-energy
music provides added motivation. Each CD features two
programs designed by certified personal trainers.
The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features to make your workouts more effective. When
the console is in the manual mode, the speed and in-
cline level of the treadmill can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, the LED displays will pro-
vide continuous exercise feedback.
The console also offers thirteen preset workout
programs—ten programs that automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill as they guide you
through effective fat-burning, aerobic, or performance
workouts; two pulse programs that control the speed
and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
near target heart rate settings during your workouts; and
a pulse-based fitness test program that estimates your
relative fitness level.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
You can even create your own custom workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can
basic programs, audio programs, and video programs
directly from the internet. Additional options are soon to
In addition, the console features a workout history
mode that keeps track of the total hours you have exer-
cised, the miles you have walked or run, the calories
and fat calories you have burned, and your average
speed. The console can display the totals for the
previous 7 days or the totals since the workout history
mode was last reset.

HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test program is designed to estimate the rel-
ative fitness level you have achieved. For the best re-
sults, the fitness test program should be used at a time
when your energy level is high; the program should not
be used if you have already exercised during the day.
While the program is in progress, minor adjust-
ments can be made to the speed or incline of the
treadmill with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline will
automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed,
the incline will increase. If you increase the incline,
the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The console will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.
Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting,
the speed cannot be increased any further. When
the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed
cannot be decreased any further.
The fitness test program consists of up to seven
4-minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute cool-
down period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will automatically increase at the beginning of each 4-
minute segment. When your heart rate reaches 70% of
your estimated maximum heart rate, the FITNESS
TEST will end. After a 2-minute cool-down period, the
console will display your estimated fitness level.
To use the fitness test program, follow the steps below.
Insert the key fully into the console.
To stop the program, press the STOP button. Pulse
programs should not be stopped temporarily and
then restarted. To use the pulse program again, re-
select the program and start it at the beginning.

REEBOK UNIVERSITY
Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a
vision to establish a “university without walls” that
develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness
programming for the fitness industry throughout the
world.
WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVAS-
CULAR DISEASE
Several studies have found that regular walking at any
speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density
lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the
body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglyc-
erides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for
Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok
University has created a host of original programs,
such as Step Reebok®, Walk ReebokSM, Slide ReebokSM cardiovascular disease.
and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted
Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our
guidelines and terminology are used by fitness profes-
sionals and participants around the world, and our
exceptional programming has been approved in the
United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing educa-
tion credits.
Duncan and his colleagues3 concluded that exercise
does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular
risk factors. In other words, people who choose to
stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for
cardiovascular disease.
After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000
Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger
and his colleagues4 concluded that walking as little as
five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardio-
vascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can
reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.
Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve
aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can
reduce a person's risk for heart disease.
WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY
ENDURANCE
Scientific studies confirm that
walking at a moderate to brisk
pace can enhance aero-
bic fitness. Rippe and
his colleagues1 found
that of 500 subjects
tested, 67% of the men
and 90% of the women
were able to reach their
target heart rates by
walking 4 to 4.5 miles
per hour.
WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION
Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.
The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the
more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound
person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will
burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person
will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline
and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If
this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on
level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.5
Pollock and his colleagues2 found that middle-aged
men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour
for 40 minutes four times per week had the same car-
diovascular improvements as men the same age who
jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although
the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than
the runners, the increased duration and frequency of
walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic ben-
efits as the runners.
It should be noted that participants who do not wish to
walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number
of calories by walking for longer periods of time.
WALKING AND BONE DENSITY
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United
States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.
An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the
density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening
since many older people die as a result of complica-
tions suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in
the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce
the risk of osteoporosis.
On the basis of current research, it seems clear that
walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel-
lent aerobic activity.
31

Several studies have reported that regular walking at
moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone
density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6 found
that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 min-
utes per day had higher bone mineral content than
subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.
Jones and his colleagues7 reported that sedentary
women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular
walking program and continued for one year increased
their bone density.
During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants
who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and
5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that
necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and
his colleagues10 reported that 14% of the elderly sub-
jects participating in a walking study suffered training-
related orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and
foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as-
signed to "fast walking."
It is important to note that all forms of exercise have
some degree of risk associated with the activity.
Generally, the less mechanical stress on the muscu-
loskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.
Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the inci-
dence of injury appears to be low when compared to
other high-impact activities.
Since walking can be comfortably performed by people
of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-
tive in reducing a person's risk for developing osteo-
porosis.
WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION
There are many stressors in today's society, including
economic concerns, work-related pressures and the
need to balance career goals with home responsibili-
ties. People who are unable to cope with these types
of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may
even become physically or psychologically ill.

WALKING AND INJURIES
Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.
Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity be-
cause one foot remains in contact with the ground at
all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour pro-
duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times
body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in-
creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times
body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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
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.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-
vice. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general.
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.
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 pro-
longed 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, ad-
just 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
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 heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer-
cise—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.
You can measure your heart rate using the heart rate
monitor. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust
the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months, you may
complete up to five workouts each week if desired.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
