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 the in-
cluded hex key and your own adjustable wrench .
Note: The underside of the incline trainer walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping,
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a nor-
a
mal condition and does not affect incline trainer 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.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
shows the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is preat-
tached to one of the parts to be assembled. Extra hardware may be included. To avoid damaging plastic
parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The incline trainer console offers an impressive array
of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode
of the console, you can change the speed and incline
of the incline trainer with the touch of a button. As you
exercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback.
In addition, the console features fourteen personal
trainer workouts. Each preset workout automatically
controls the speed and incline of the incline trainer as it
guides you through an effective workout.
The console also offers twelve interactive trainer work
outs that allow you to customize your workout. The interactive trainer workouts include three heart rate
workouts that control the speed and incline of the incline trainer to keep your heart rate near the target
heart rate settings. In addition, three fitness test workouts measure your fitness level or your VO2 max.
The console also features the new iFIT Interactive
Workout system. The iFIT system is compatible with
iFIT Interactive Workout Cards containing workout pro-
grams designed to help you achieve specific fitness
goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the
iFIT Weight Loss program, or train for a long-distance
run with the iFIT Marathon program. iFIT programs automatically control the speed and incline of the incline
trainer. To purchase iFIT cards, please see the front
cover of this manual or go to www.iFIT.com. iFIT
cards are also available at select stores.
Whether you select the manual mode or a preset workout, you can watch the television programs of your
choice on the optional personal television. You can
even listen to your favorite workout music or audio
books with the console’s stereo sound system.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Most incline trainer problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies,
and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
OLUTION:a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor
S
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 13). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 13. Important: The incline trainer is not
compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.
c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the incline
trainer frame near the power cord. Make sure that the
reset/off circuit breaker is switched to the “reset” position.
PROBLEM: The power turns off during use
SOLUTION: a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker (see the drawing above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait
for five minutes and then pull the switch back out.
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for five
minutes, and then plug it back in.
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key into the console.
d. If the power still turns off during use, see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 13.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, performance
may decrease and the walking belt may be dam
aged. If the walking belt is properly tightened,
you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking plat
form. If adjustments need to be made, first re-
move the key and unplug the power cord.
Using the included hex key, turn both 5/16" x 4
3/8" Bolts (29) counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn.
Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and
use the incline trainer for a few minutes. Be care
ful to keep the walking belt centered. Repeat
until the walking belt is properly tightened. Note:
To tighten the walking belt, see step c on page

3/8" bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the
walking belt is properly tightened, you should
be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to
3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. The
center of the walking belt should just touch the
walking platform. Make sure to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord,
insert the key, and run the incline trainer for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. Note: As you tighten the Bolts, the front roller will move. If the front roller stops
moving, do not further tighten the Bolts; please see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The incline of the incline trainer does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. The incline system may need to be calibrated. To initiate the calibration routine, turn the power
switch off, wait 5 seconds and then turn the power switch back on. During the calibration routine,
the incline trainer will automatically travel to the highest incline level and then return to the initial
level.
If the incline system still does not function properly, please see the front cover of this manual.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

his is especially important for persons over
T
the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing
ealth problems.
h
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors 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.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you

exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
