26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use only. Do not use the treadmill in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

27. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected, be sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-

ductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

28. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

29. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not re-

move the cover or back of the TV. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

30. Upon completion of any service or repairs to

the treadmill or TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that

the unit is in proper operating condition (see the drawing on page 5).

• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm

) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm

) copper-clad steel or bronze wire,

or larger as a ground wire.

• Secure the antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with standoff insulators spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83m) apart.

• Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3mm

) copper or the equivalent when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).

Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

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 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.

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 necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-sideup.

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.

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 necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• 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.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

• 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 console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher.

• 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.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself 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.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery in the chest pulse sensor may need to be replaced (see page 28).

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

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 1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.

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

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 electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

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.

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.

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 electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER:Improper connection

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.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select one of the three pulse-driven programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 65% of your estimated maximum heart rate (see step 5 on page 18 for an explanation of your estimated maximum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE program will keep your heart rate near 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a percentage that you select.

When a pulse-driven program is selected, the name of the selected program and the total program time will scroll across the main display. The words ENTER AGE and the current age setting will then be shown (see step 4 on page 18).

During pulse-driven programs, the matrix will show a moving graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will appear in the graphic.

Page 18

Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-

tons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly. The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.

If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE program or the ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL PULSE program, go to step 5.

Enter a target heart rate setting.

After you have entered your age, the words ENTER PERCENT and the current target heart rate setting for the program will be shown in the main display. The target heart rate setting represents a percentage of your estimated maximum heart rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.

Press the START button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each pulse-driven program is divided into oneminute segments. The main display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE program, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments.)

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting for the next segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash in the main display to alert you before the speed and/or incline changes. The program will continue until no time remains in the program. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed and incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons. However, if you decrease the speed, the incline will automatically increase; if you increase the speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-

crease the incline, the speed will increase. The treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current segment. 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.

If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters PLS will flash in the main display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the instructions on page 10.

To stop the program at any time, press the STOP button. Pulse-driven programs should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse-driven program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.

key and unplug the power cord. Using the included allen wrench, turn both roller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 1 to 2 inches off the walking platform. The center of the walking belt should just touch the walking platform. Make sure to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

5. SYMPTOM: THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on

page 10. b. If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, the

battery should be changed. To replace the battery, locate

the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a

coin into the slot in the cover and turn the cover counter-

clockwise to the “open” position. Remove the cover.

Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit. Insert a new CR 2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

6. SYMPTOM: THE INCLINE OF THE TREADMILL DOES NOT CHANGE CORRECTLY OR DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN IFIT.COM CDS AND VIDEOS ARE PLAYED

a. With the key in the console, press one of the INCLINE buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the

key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level

and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

7. SYMPTOM: THE SURFACE OF THE WALKING PLATFORM IS DAMAGED

a. Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. If the surface becomes

damaged, or if there is any wood showing through the coating, the walking platform can be turned over. The walking platform typically needs to be turned over after approximately 6,000 to 7,500 miles. Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.

Remove the key and unplug the power cord. Remove the

two Hood Screws (2) and lift off the Motor Hood (1). Next, remove the two Rear Roller Bolts (82), the two Roller Guard Screws (80), and the Right and Left Roller Guards (81, 83).

Remove the six Platform Screws (6). Lift the Rear Roller (79) and slide it out of the Walking Belt (71). Lift the Walking Platform (70) a few inches, slide it out of the Walking Belt, turn it over, and then slide it back into the Walking Belt. Slide the Rear Roller back into the Walking Belt. Reattach the six Platform Screws (6). Reattach the Right and Left Roller Guards (81, 83) with the two Roller Guard Screws (80). Insert the Rear Roller Bolts (82) into the Roller Guards and thread them into the Rear Roller (79). Reattach the Motor Hood (1) with the two Hood Screws (2).

Next, the Walking Belt (71) will need to be adjusted to the proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks exactly 50” apart on the Walking Belt as shown. Then, tighten both Rear Roller Bolts (82) until the two chalk marks move apart an additional 3/16” to 1/4”. Make sure to keep the Walking Belt centered.

8. SYMPTOM: TELEVISION RECEPTION IS POOR

a. For the television to operate properly, good reception is necessary. If you are using an antenna, make sure it

is properly connected and adjusted for optimal reception. (See ANTENNA CONNECTIONS on page 9.)

b. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.

• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—Usually this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing the position of the treadmill or other electric appliances to correct the problem.

• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Change the direction or position of the antenna to improve reception.

• Snow—If the treadmill is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. If the signal is weak, it may be necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.

Note: If one of these symptoms appears when the cable from a CATV company is connected, the symptom may be caused by the local company broadcast.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Note: It may be helpful to leave the treadmill at an incline when moving the treadmill. Before moving the

treadmill, make sure that the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, moving it requires two persons. While one person lifts the indi-

cated end, firmly hold the handrails and tip the treadmill forward until it rolls on the front wheels. Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location and then lower it.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over uneven surfaces.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

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.

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 “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest 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-

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 and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

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.

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 and 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.

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-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.

WARNING:Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
