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.
faces.
13. Never move the walking belt whilst 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 any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst 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. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
19. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The sensors are intended only as ex-
ercise aids in determining heart rate trends in
general.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page
10), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-
cuit. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an

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. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-
2
conductor, 1mm (14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
the hole in one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the
inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under
the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush
with the front of the sensor unit.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-
light for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C
(15° F).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.

Unit
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as de-
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
Next, wrap the chest
pulse sensor around
your chest and attach
the other end of the
chest strap to the
sensor unit. Adjust
the length of the
chest strap, if neces-
sary. The chest pulse

begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within arm’s length of the console.
Next, 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 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.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-
tions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be af-
fected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
essary, draining the battery prematurely.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 28).

CAUTION:
If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse con-
trol programs. If you are taking medication reg-
ularly, consult your physician to find whether
the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.
If pulse control program 3 is selected, the max-
imum target heart rate setting of the program will
flash in the display (see the drawing above). If de-
sired, press the Incline increase or decrease but-
ton to change the maximum target heart rate set-
ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29).

segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column.
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 CHEST PULSE

button. The time will begin to flash in the display.
To restart the program, press the Start button or
the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to
move at 1 mph. When the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automat-
ically change to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate setting.
During both pulse control programs, the console
will regularly compare your heart rate to the cur-
rent target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the speed of the walking belt will automati-
cally increase 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, the incline of the treadmill will also in-
crease.
Follow your progress with the display.

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.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Begin walking on
the treadmill. Note: For the most accurate results,
do not hold the handrails during the fitness test
program.
The fitness test program measures your approximate
VO max, or aerobic capacity. VO max is a measure
2

of your ability to intake and utilize oxygen to generate
energy for endurance activities such as running and
cycling. In technical terms, VO max is the maximum
2
volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your body can use
in one minute, per kilogram of body weight. A high VO
max indicates a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness.
2
During the program, the speed and incline of the
treadmill will periodically change. The speed set-
ting or the incline setting will flash in the display to
alert you before each change. Important: The
Speed and Incline buttons will not function
during the program.
Note: To learn more about VO max, refer to a rep-
2
utable book or consult your physician.
For the most accurate results, use the fitness test pro-
gram when you are not feeling tired, when you have not
eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not ex-
ercised for at least 24 hours. Follow the steps below to
use the program.

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-
5–7 cm
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE
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 5–7 cm (2–3 in.) off the walk-
ing platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt cen-
tred. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and walk on
the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.

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 rear roller
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,
insert the key, and walk on the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, remove

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 sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The sensors are intended only as ex-
ercise aids 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 circu-
lation 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, and 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 to 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
