WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this 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 2.5
m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. When choosing a location for the treadmill,
make sure that the location and position per­mit access to a plug.

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

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

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

8. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 115 kg (250 lbs.). Never
allow more than one person on the treadmill
at a time.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth­ing 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.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page

8), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit.
No other appliance should be on the same cir­cuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA ap­proved BS1362 type should be fitted to the
fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used.

11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3­conductor, 1mm2(14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

12. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.

13. Never move the walking belt whilst 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
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

16. Do not use the hand weights at speeds higher
than a walk. Using hand weights and not hold­ing the handrails may compromise your ability
to maintain your balance. Exercises using
hand weights should be attempted only by ex­perienced users.

17. The chest pulse sensor is not a medical de­vice. Various factors, including your move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The sensor is intended only as an
exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in
general.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca­tion of the on/off switch.)

19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 22.)
You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.)
in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

21.Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.

The decals shown below have been placed on your treadmill. If a decal is missing, or if it is not legible,
please call our Customer Service Department at 08457-089009 to order a free replacement decal. Apply the
decal in the location shown. Note: The large decal is shown at 38% of actual size.

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

23. DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the
maintenance and adjustment procedures de­scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorised service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorised ser­vice representative only.

24. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-

cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per­sonal trainer describes the change.

25. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, you
can manually override the speed and incline
settings at any time by pressing the speed
and incline buttons. However, when the next
“chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will
change to the next settings of the CD or video
program.

26. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s and videos
from your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.

27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex­ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa­tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom­mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your “train­ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-

ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread­mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys­tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in­creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula­tion in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never
hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min­utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help 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, you may com­plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING:

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for individu­als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre­existing health problems.

The chest pulse sensor is not a medical de­vice. Various factors, including your move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The sensor is intended only as an ex­ercise aid in determining heart rate trends in
general.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

a. If the walking belt has shifted to the

left, first remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the allen

wrench, turn the left rear roller adjustment
bolt clockwise, and the right bolt counter­clockwise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful
not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in
the power cord, insert the key and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.

b. If the walking belt has shifted to the

right, first remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the allen

wrench, turn the left rear roller adjustment
bolt counterclockwise, and the right bolt
clockwise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful
not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in
the power cord, insert the key and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.

c. If the walking belt slips when walked

on, first remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the allen

wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment
bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the
walking belt is correctly tightened, you
should be able to lift the edges of the
walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in the power
cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk­ing belt is properly tightened.

a. Remove the key from the console and UN-

PLUG THE POWER CORD. Next, remove
the screws from the hood and carefully re­move the hood. Locate the Reed Switch
(26) and the Magnet (85) on the left side of
the Pulley (28). Turn the Pulley until the
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch.

Make sure that the gap between the
Magnet and the Reed Switch is about
3 mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen the

Reed Switch Screw (20) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw.
Re-attach the hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.

a. Due to variations in humidity and temperature, there is a possibility that

bubbles may form in the walking belt. Although the bubbles will disappear with
time, you may unplug the power cord, carefully insert a needle into the bubbles,
and push the air out of the bubbles.
