Assembly

Please Note: We recommend that you have a person assist you with the assembly

your new treadmill. Use caution during the assembly of this product.

Step 1:

Align the vertical support frame

deck

(A). Then attach (C) to (A) using two (A-1) – set screws and two (C-2) & (C-3) – washers. Attach (G) & (F) to (H) using 2 (A4) bolts. Then attach

2(F) to (H) using 4(A3) bolts. Note: Do not attach (A3)

bolts until after step 3.

Step 2: A) Locate the silver feeding line attached to the inside of

(D) and find the

control wire attached to

(A). Carefully hook the silver feeding line around

the control wire harness at the bottom base of the treadmill deck

(A). Feed the silver feeding line and the control wire harness into the bottom of the vertical support frame

(D) and all the way though the top.

As shown in (Fig 1).

B) Once the Wire Harness has completely passed through the vertical support frame, attach the vertical support frame

(D) to the bottom portion

of the deck

(A) using two (A-1) – bolts and two (C-3) – washers.

C) Attach (E) to (C) & (D) using 2 (A3) & 2 (C1).

ATTENTION: Do not fully tighten these set screws until entire unit is assembled.

Step 3:

A) Connect the Wire Harness to Console Wire Harness (See Fig 2). B) Carefully align the Console (H) with the vertical support frames (D) & (C).

Once aligned, secure the console (H) with 4 (A-3) & 2 (A-2) bolts and 6 (C-1) washers. C) Next, insert two (A-3) set screws at the bottom of the vertical support frames and then proceed to tighten the rest of the unit.

ATTENTION: When attaching the vertical support frame (D) to the treadmill deck (A) and then to the console (H) be sure not to crimp or sever the Control Wire. Severing these wires can cause the treadmill to short out.

D) Finally, attach the sports bottle holder (I) by using two (A-6) Phillips screws & 2

(C-2) Washers.

(Fig 1)

Initial Adjustment

After assembly and before turning power on position the rear roller using the "T" wrench (refer to the drawing if needed). Make 3 turns clockwise to avoid the belt from slipping.

If belt is too far to the left side:

1) Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)

2) Turn the right roller 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

If belt is too far to the right side:

1) Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)

2) Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

Belt Tension and Centering Set Up

Make 3 Turns

A) TENSIONING THE BELT

If you can feel a slipping sensation when you plant your foot on the belt, the belt is slipping over the roller. This is normal and a common adjustment on a treadmill. To eliminate slipping, tighten both sides of the rear roller. Using an Allen wrench, tighten the roller tension bolts (located at the end caps) 1/4 of a turn clockwise as shown below. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but

NEVER

TURN the roller bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time.

CAUTION: OVER TIGHTENING OF THE ROLLER WILL SEVERELY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BELT AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS.

NOTE: If you have tightened the running belt and are still experiencing a slipping sensation, call your Endurance dealer for service.

B) CENTERING THE BELT If belt is too far to the left side:

1) Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)

2) Turn the right roller 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

If belt is too far to the right side:

1) Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)

2) Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

1/4

Turn

Heart Rate Control

Maximize your results with the Heart Rate Control program. Exercise smarter and get more benefits with less training when using this program. The Heart Rate Control program will monitor you heart rate and automatically adjust to maintain your target heart rate. It is like having a your own personal trainer.

Note: An Endurance chest strap or Polar TM compatible strap is required to use the Heart Rate Control program. Also a warm up is required before starting the Heart Rate Control program. Usually a warm up period of 5 –10 minutes is sufficient (a good rule of thumb is to break a sweat), then continue with the following steps.

Step 1

After your warm up, step onto the side rails of the treadmill deck and press and hold

Stop until the treadmill resets. Next, enter your weight, then press Enter. Next, press Select until the Program Indicator display is lit next to Heart Rate Control and press Enter. Now the Program Indicator display will be lit on Heart Rate Control and be flashing on Enter Age. Use the buttons to enter you age and press Enter. The Course Profile Matrix will now display a number representing a percentage of your

maximum heart rate. This percentage can be adjusted to 60% - 85% of your maximum heart rate with the buttons. Also the Time / Calories / Heart Rate / Distance Display will display your actual heart beats per minute based on your age and automatically adjusts as you adjust your target heart rate percentage with the buttons. For a fat burning workout it is recommended to work out between 60% and 70% of your theoretical maximum heart rate. For a cardio workout it is recommended to work out between 70% and 85% of your theoretical maximum heart rate.

Fat Burning Workout Cardio Training Workout

Low End (Beats per minute) = (220-age) x 60% Low End (Beats per minute) = (220-age) x 70% High End (Beats per minute)= (220-age) x 70 % High End (Beats per minute) = (220-age) x 85%

Once you have adjusted the percentage of you theoretical maximum heart rate with the buttons, press the Enter button to begin your workout.

Lower Back, Hips, Groin, and Hamstrings

1. Stand with the feet about shoulder- width apart and pointed straight ahead. If you are pretty flexible and need more of a stretch, cross one leg in front of the other for a few stretches, then switch legs.

2. Slowly bend forward from the hips, always keeping your knees slightly bent.

3. Stretch only to the point where you feel a tugging in the back of your legs.

Side Bends

1. Stand with your feet about shoulder - width apart and toes pointed straight ahead. Keep your knees slightly bent, one hand on your hip; extend your other arm up and over your head. Slowly bend at your waist to one side, toward the hand on your hip.

2. Extend both arms overhead. Hold your right hand with your left hand and bend slowly to the left, using your left arm to pull the right arm gently over the head and down toward the ground.

3. Repeat with other side.

Quadriceps (front of thigh)

1. Lying on our stomach, pull the heel toward your buttocks with the opposite hand. Keep the thigh of the leg being stretched close to the leg on the floor.

2. The same stretch can be done standing. Do not allow the thigh to come in front of you and so not bend forward at the waist.

3. Do this exercise twice – once on each leg.

Adequate flexibility is the ability to move your limbs and joints easily (through a complete range of motion) the way you need to in order to meet the challenges of daily life. Fortunately thereʼs a positive reinforcing cycle between flexibility and activity. Adequate flexibility enables you to maintain an active lifestyle, and an active lifestyle makes an important contribution to maintaining adequate flexibility. These relationships grow stronger the older we become.

When should I stretch?

Any time is a good time to Stretch. In the morning it can work out the kinks in your back, at work, you can relax your neck and shoulders, and after work stretch out your lower back. However, you should never do your stretches before you have had a chance to warm your body up.

How should I stretch?

Perform the following stretches slowly and smoothly until you feel a slight “tugging” sensation on the muscles involved. Donʼt stretch to the point that you feel pain, and donʼt bounce or you could pull a muscle. Hold each stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Exhale through the stretch, and breathe slowly. This will keep you from bouncing.

Your running deck features a phenolic surface which reduces friction. Use the included Treadmill Silicone Lubricant Spray (H) (see Treadmill Hardware and Components Page at the front of the book) for optimum performance and extended deck and belt life.

To lubricate your deck:

1) Insert the tube into the spray tip. NEVER POINT THE SPRAY TIP OR SPRAY TUBE TOWARD YOUR FACE.

2) Make sure the treadmill is OFF and unplugged from the power source.

3) Pull up lightly on the tread belt and spray lubricant as evenly as possible between the

underside of the tread belt and the top of the deck. As you use your treadmill, the lubricant will spread and even out – protecting your deck and belt.

4) Store silicone lubricant in a safe place and out of the reach of children.

Warning

1) Do not spray lubricant on the top side of the tread belt. The running surface must retain traction.

2) Inspect tread belt for overspray before use.

3) If you accidentally oversprayed silicone spray on the top side of the treadbelt or the side rails, clean immediately to prevent accidental injury.
