For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,
check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for
assembly.
1. Place the Upright (93) near the front of the Base Frame
(56) as shown.
Connect the indicated wires on the right side of the treadmill. 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 CONNEC-
TORS 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

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, unplug the power
ord. Note: It may be necessary to disconnect a CATV
c
cable and a network wire from the treadmill, depending
n how far the treadmill will be moved.
o
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 in-
jury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over uneven surfaces.

HOW TO CONNECT THE TREADMILL
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
DANGER: Improper connection
f your treadmill has the Workout TV console, a
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
esult in an increased risk of electric shock.
r
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. Do not use
an adapter to connect the plug to an improper
receptacle.
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is for use on a dedicated, 15-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.
I
CATV cable must be connected to the treadmill for
cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the treadmill.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack. 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 treadmill. 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 treadmill.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill.
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 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 pro-
®
grams 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, follow the steps
beginning on page 17. To use a MANUAL program,
see page 18. To use a FITNESS TEST program, see
