IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and inctions in this manual and all warnings on your treadmill before using your treadmill. FreeMotion

Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

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

2.Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3.Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and 0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the treadmill on a surface that blocks any air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

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

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

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

7.Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill.

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

9.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 160 kg (350 lbs).

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

11.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose

clothes that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill 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 treadmill. 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 treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 37 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

15.Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedure before using the treadmill (see GETTING STARTED on page 17).

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

17.The treadmill 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. 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.

4

19.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running.

20.Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under it.

21.Never insert or drop any object into any opening.

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

so will void the warranty and may result in DANGER:damage to the treadmill.

Always unplug the power 23. cord before cleaning the incline trainer and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures described in this manual. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an au-

thorized service representative only.

2.Slide the Uprights (93) onto the Base Frame (56), and align the holes in the Uprights with the holes in the Base Frame. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires. Finger tighten two Side Base Bolts (95) through the bracket near the right Upright and into the Base Frame; do not tighten the Side Base Bolts yet.

Repeat this step on the left side of the treadmill; there are no wires on the left side.

3.Finger tighten two Top Base Bolts (96) with two 1/2" Star Washers (124) through the top of the bracket near the right Upright (93) and into the Base Frame (56); do not tighten the Top Base Bolts yet.

Repeat this step on the left side of the treadmill.

Then, tighten the Top Base Bolts (96) and the Side Base Bolts (95) on both sides.

4.Locate the Bolt (B) on the top of each Upright (93). With the help of a second person, set the console assembly onto the top of the Uprights. Make sure that the Bolts are inserted into the indicated holes in the bottom of the console assembly (only one side is shown). Be careful not to pinch any wires. Pull up on the Handrail (103) and carefully tip the console assembly forward so that you can see the indicated wires. Make sure the console assembly is held securely by the Bolts.

Connect the wire in the right Upright (93) and the wire in the console assembly. 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. If there is a TV Cable, connect the TV Cable in the console assembly to the TV Cable in the right Upright. Then, insert the wires down into the right Upright.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, unplug the power cord. Note: It may be necessary to disconnect a CATV cable and a network wire from the treadmill, depending on how far the treadmill will be moved.

Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, 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 treadmill or of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic front cover. Carefully roll the treadmill 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 treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over uneven surfaces.

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 treadmill 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 treadmill to give you an effective workout.

The console also offers three HEART RATE programs that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill 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®-compatible chest pulse sensor (not included).

Before using the treadmill, please read OVERVIEW OF THE CONSOLE beginning on page 15. To use the QUICK START mode of the console, see page 17.

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

FITNESS TEST program, see page 20. To use a HEART RATE program, see page 22. To use an INTERVAL program, see page 24. To use a WALK/RUN program, see page 26. To use a TERRAIN program, see page 27. To use the FIXED or RANDOM program, see page 28. To use a CUSTOM program, see page 29. To use the maintenance mode, see page 30.
