Page 4
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 in­cline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the per­sonal trainer describes the change.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can manually override the speed and incline set­tings at any time 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.
22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your CD player or VCR when you are not using them.
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.
24. Never drop or insert any object into any open­ing.
25.

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service­man 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.
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 EPIC dealer or call 1-866-997-6999 and order part number 146148, or see your local elec­tronics store.

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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus­trated 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.

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. There must be a moni­toring 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.

To select a preset program, press the Speed & Incline Programs button repeatedly. The right dis­play will show which program (P1 to P6) is se­lected.
When a preset program is selected, the left dis­play will flash the maximum incline setting of the program for a few seconds, and the right display will flash the maximum speed setting. The left dis­play will then show how long the program will last. In addition, the matrix in the left display will show the first seven speed settings of the program.
The speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The in cline settings are not shown in the matrix.) The speed settings for the next seven segments will be shown in the columns at the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg­ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, and a series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in­cline of the treadmill is about to change, the left display and/or the right display will flash to alert you. When the first segment ends, all speed set- tings in the matrix will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the speed settings have moved to the left, so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.

HOW TO USE A
HEART RATE PROGRAM
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 regu­larly, 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 sen­sor (see page 24) to use a heart rate program. While using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the hand­grip pulse sensor.
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate Control Programs button repeatedly until “H1” or “H2” appears in the right display.
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).
If the 85% Max program is selected, go to step
7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to step 6.
Enter a target heart rate.

start the program.
The program will continue until the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread­mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
During heart rate pro­grams, the matrix in the left display will show a heart beat symbol. Each time a heart beat is detected, a peak will appear.
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 auto­matically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro­gram (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.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the incline setting and the speed setting will flash in the two displays.
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.
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 auto­matically 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 the beginning.

ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread­mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.
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 sys­tem, 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.

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 recom­mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
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.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the handgrip pulse sensor.
Fat Burning
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-
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
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 in­creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula­tion 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.
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-ex­ercise problems.
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. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten­dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten­dons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your but­tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
