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 the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order part number 146148, or see your local electronics store.

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 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 unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 19).

In addition, the console offers six preset programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout. You can even create custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

Two heart rate programs are also offered. Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings while you exercise. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use the heart rate programs.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset program, see page 13. To create and use a custom program, see pages 15 and 16. To use a heart rate program, see page 17.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, peel off the plastic. To prevent damage to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes while using the treadmill. The first time the treadmill is used, observe the alignment of the walking belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see page 23).

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER

Plug in the power cord (see page 9).

Locate the reset/off cir-

cuit breaker on the treadmill frame near the power cord. Make sure that the circuit breaker is in the “reset” position.

Stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the clip

attached to the key (see the drawing above) and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes. Next, insert the key into the console. After a moment, the displays will light. Important: In an

emergency situation, the key can be pulled from the console, causing the walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from the console, adjust the position of the clip.

Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate Control Programs button repeatedly until “P-7” or “P-8” appears in the right display.

Note: Your age-predicted maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. For

xample, if you are 30 years old, your age-pre-

e dicted maximum heart rate is 190 beats per

inute (220 – 30 = 190).

Enter a target heart rate setting for the program.

If heart rate program 7 is selected, the letters

“PLS” and the target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash in the right display. If desired, change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + or – button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Then, press the Enter button.

If heart rate program 8 is selected, the letters “PLS” and the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash in the right display. If desired, change the maximum target heart rate setting by pressing the + or – button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). Then, press the Enter button. Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.

If heart rate program 7 is selected, a pulse sym bol will scroll across the matrix in the left display. If heart rate program 8 is selected, the matrix in the left display will show the first several target heart rate settings of the program.

Note: During heart rate program 7, your heart rate will remain near a target heart rate setting that you select.During heart rate program 8, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your

age-predicted maximum heart rate.

Enter your age.

The word “AGE” and the current age setting will then begin to flash in the right display. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button beside the Enter button to enter your age,

and then press the Enter button.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

ncline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

i and begin walking.

Heart rate program 7 is divided into several oneminute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. (For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.) one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.

If heart rate program 8 is selected, the target

heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to 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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individu-

ls over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

a existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body

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 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the

flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-

ercise 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

he correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

. 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.
