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.

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).

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

FCI-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.

Surge Suppressor

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 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 elec
tric 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,

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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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

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 instant exercise feedback. You can even mea­sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 25).

In addition, the console offers ten preset programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec­tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered.
Each program automatically adjusts the speed and in­cline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a tar­get range while you exercise. The console even allows
you to create your own programs and save them in
memory for future use. Note: The heart rate programs
require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal
trainer guides you through every step of your workout.
High-energy music provides added motivation.
