ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the included
hex keys.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

mall amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal

s
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brack­ets near the front of the Frame (76).

Uprights are on the correct sides; the indicated
holes must be facing inward.

Raise the Right Upright (95) until the lower hole in the
front of the Right Upright is aligned with the upper hole in
the bracket on the Frame (76). Finger tighten an Upright
Bolt (96) into the Right Upright and the bracket. Do not

tighten the Upright Bolt yet.

Repeat this step with the Left Upright (97).

2. While a second person holds the Handrail (91) near the
Uprights (95, 97), feed the Upright Wire Harness (100) in
the right Handrail down into the right Upright. Pull the
end of the Upright Wire Harness out of the lower end of
the right Upright. If there is a wire tie on the end of the
Upright Wire Harness, remove it. Then, set the Handrail
on the Uprights.

Finger tighten eight Handrail Bolts (99) into the Uprights
(95, 97) and the Handrail (91). Do not tighten the

Handrail Bolts yet. Be careful to avoid pinching the
Wire Harness (57).

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
provide continuous exercise feedback. The console
will also display your heart rate when you use the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sen­sor (see page 21).

Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.

In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven pro­grams that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill
to keep your heart rate near target levels during your
workouts, and a unique fitness test program that mea­sures your relative fitness level.

Note: You must wear
the optional chest pulse sensor to use a pulse-dri­ven program or the fitness test program.

10

CAUTION: Before operating the

onsole, read the following precautions.

c

• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn­ing on the power.

• Always wear the clip (see the drawing at the

ight) while operating the treadmill.

r

• Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

• 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 an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.

• If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the pulse-driven programs. If you
are taking medication regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise heart rate.

• To reduce the possibility of electric shock,

he time remaining in the program and the time re-

t
maining in the current segment of the program.

ne target heart rate setting is programmed for

O
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.

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

heart rate

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

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

ian. This is especially important for individu-

c
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre­existing 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 and incline of the tread-

ill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in

m
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.

for energy. If your goal

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.

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-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.

26

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

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

T

. Toe Touch Stretch
