Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

• ing on the power.

• Always wear the clip (see the drawing on

age 17) while operating the treadmill.

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

• 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.

• If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the HEART RATE or FITNESS TEST 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, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and place only a sealed water bottle in the water bottle holder.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To measure

your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and hold the contacts with both hands; your palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the PULSE indicator above the main display will begin to flash, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds without moving your hands.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO USE A FITNESS TEST PROGRAM

3. Select a FITNESS TEST program.

The FITNESS TEST programs measure your approxi-

ate VO

ax, or aerobic capacity. VO

ax is a

measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to generate energy for endurance activities such as run-

ing and cycling. In technical terms, VO2m

aximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your

ax is the

body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body weight. A high VO2max indicates a high level of car-

diorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO

2 max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physician.

For the most accurate results, use a FITNESS TEST program when you are not feeling tired, when you have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not exercised for at least 24 hours.

The GERKIN FITNESS TEST is completed when your heart rate stays greater than 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate for 15 seconds, or when the program reaches 11 minutes. Note: The GERKIN FITNESS TEST begins with a 3-minute warm-up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ost problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and

M follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please see the back cover of this manual.

1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON

a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. (See page 12.)

b. Make sure that the key is inserted into the console.

c. Check the on/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the power

cord. Make sure that the on/off circuit breaker is switched to the “on” position.

2. SYMPTOM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE

a. Check the on/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the power cord. (See drawing 1. c. above.)

Make sure that the on/off circuit breaker is switched to the “on” position.

b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in.

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key into the console.

d. Check the walking belt and the walking platform for excessive wear. Replace the walking belt or the walk-

ing platform if necessary.

e. If the power still turns off during use, please see the back cover of this manual.

3. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT SLOWS WHEN WALKED ON

a. If the walking belt is overtightened, performance

may decrease and the walking belt may be damaged. If the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt

2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in.) off the walking platform. If ad-

justments need to be made, first remove the key and unplug the power cord. Using a 7/32" hex

key, turn both roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and use the treadmill for a few minutes. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. Note: To tighten the walking belt, see step 4. c. on page 38.

4. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT IS OFF-CENTER OR SLIPS WHEN WALKED ON

a. If the walking belt has shifted to the right: Remove

he key and unplug the power cord. Using a 7/32" hex

key, turn the roller adjustment bolts in the directions

hown, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten

s the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and use the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

b. If the walking belt has shifted to the left: Remove the

key and unplug the power cord. Using Using a 7/32" hex key, turn the roller adjustment bolts in the directions shown, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and use the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

c. If the walking belt slips when walked on: Remove the

key and unplug the power cord. Using Using a 7/32" hex key, turn both roller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in.) 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 treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. Note: As you tighten the roller adjustment bolts, the front roller will move. If the front roller stops moving,

do not further tighten the roller adjustment bolts; please see the back cover of this manual.

5. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT STOPS OR THE INCLINE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED EVEN THOUGH THE CONSOLE REMAINS LIT

a. This indicates that a controller error may have occurred. To correct the problem, turn the power switch off,

wait 5 seconds and then turn the power switch back on.

6. SYMPTOM: THE INCLINE SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY OR THE INCLINE SYSTEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AT THE INCLINE LEVEL SHOWN IN THE MAIN DISPLAY

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 treadmill will automatically travel to the lowest incline level and then return to level.

b. If the incline system still does not function properly, please see the back cover of this manual.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

r any exercise program, consult your physi-

o cian. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

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.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to 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.

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.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest 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.

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.

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 between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

ove slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
