o

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the incline trainer are ade­quately informed of all warnings and precau­tions.

2. Use the incline trainer only as described in
this manual.

3. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 2.4 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind
it and 0.6 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the floor or car­pet from damage, place a mat under the in­cline trainer.

4. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.

5. Do not operate the incline trainer where
aerosol products are used or where oxygen
is being administered.

6. Do not operate the incline trainer until it is
properly and fully assembled (see ASSEM­BLY on page 7).

7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the
incline trainer.

8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the incline trainer at all times.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and in-

10. Never allow more than one person on the
incline trainer at a time.

11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the incline trainer. Do not wear loose
clothes that could become caught in the in­cline trainer. Athletic support clothes are rec­ommended for both men and women. Always

wear athletic shoes. Never use the incline
trainer with bare feet, wearing only stock­ings, or in sandals.

12. When connecting the power cord, follow the
instructions on page 12. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit as the incline
trainer. Do not use an extension cord.

13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur­faces.

14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the incline
trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged
or if the incline trainer is not working prop­erly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 37 if
the incline trainer is not working properly.)

15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the incline

16. Never start the incline trainer while you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the incline trainer.

9. The incline trainer should not be used by per­sons weighing more than 159 kg (350 lbs).

17. The incline trainer is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
arious factors, including the user's move-

V

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

9. Never leave the incline trainer unattended

1

while it is running.

20. Do not change the incline of the incline

trainer by placing objects under it.

22. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce­ures outlined in this manual. Failure to do

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Set the incline trainer 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 a 3/8"

ex key, a 7/32" hex key, and a Phillips screwdriver.

For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the hardware
kit, check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power
tools for assembly.

1. Place the Uprights (93) near the front of the Base Frame
(56) as shown.

Connect the indicated wires on the right side of the in­cline trainer. See the inset drawing. The connectors
should slide together easily and snap into place. If
they do not, turn one connector and try again. IF THE

CONNECTORS ARE NOT INSERTED PROPERLY,
THE CONSOLE MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN THE
POWER IS TURNED ON.

Insert the excess wire into the indicated hole in the
Upright (93).

HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER

Before moving the incline trainer, unplug the power
cord. Note: It may be necessary to disconnect a CATV

cable and a network wire from the incline trainer, de­pending on how far the incline trainer will be moved.

Due to the size and weight of the incline trainer,
moving it requires two or three persons. Hold the
metal frame firmly in the location shown at the right.
CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of damage to
the incline trainer or of injury, do not lift the frame
by the plastic front cover. Carefully roll the incline

trainer on the wheels to the desired location and then
lower it back to the level position. CAUTION: To reduce

the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving
the incline trainer. Do not attempt to move the in­cline trainer over uneven surfaces.

HOW TO CONNECT THE INCLINE TRAINER

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD IN THE UK

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can result

n an increased risk of electric shock. Check

i
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. Do not use an adapter to con­nect the plug to an improper receptacle.

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD IN THE
UNITED STATES

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 must be earthed. If it should malfunc-

ion or break down, earthing provides a path of least

t
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

ric shock.

t

This product is for use on a dedicated, 10-amp,
240-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. The product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earth­ing plug.

Plug the earthing plug
into a receptacle as
shown at the right. Do
not modify the plug or
the receptacle. Do not
use an adapter or an ex­tension cord. The recep­tacle must be earthed.

This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.

Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle.
Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an exten­sion cord. The receptacle must be grounded.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

If your incline trainer has the Workout TV console,

a CATV cable must be connected to the incline trainer
for cable TV stations to be viewed.

Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the incline trainer.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack (in the UK use
a PAL adapter [not
included]). Route
the cable so that it
will not be pinched
or crushed by the lift mechanism or the frame.

A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the incline trainer. Connect a CATV cable
from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually la­beled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the
front of the incline trainer.

Cable Jack

Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are avail­able at electronics stores. See the owner's manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local
audio/visual service provider.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The Basic console offers an impressive array of fea­tures designed to help you get the greatest benefits
from your exercise.

When the QUICK START mode is selected, the speed
and incline of the incline trainer can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sen­sor.

In addition, the console offers a wide selection of work­out programs. Each program automatically controls the
speed and/or incline of the incline trainer to give you
an effective workout.

The console also offers three HEART RATE programs
that adjust the speed and incline of the incline trainer

to keep your heart rate near target levels during your
workouts, and three unique FITNESS TEST programs
that measure your relative fitness level. Note: The
HEART RATE programs and the FITNESS TEST pro­grams require the use of a Polar
pulse sensor (not included).

Before using the incline trainer, please read
OVERVIEW OF THE CONSOLE beginning on page

15. To use the QUICK START mode, see page 17.

To use a MANUAL program, see page 18. To use a
