12. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3conductor, 1 mm2(14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
13. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
14. 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.)
15. Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
17. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids 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. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
22. When using iFIT.com CDs 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 incline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.
23. When using iFIT.com CDs 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.
24. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.
25. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
regularly.
26. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
27.
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.
28. This treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use this treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
WARNING:Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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 energy.
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.
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 pulse sensors are not a medical devices.
Various factors, including your movement,
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
The sensors are intended only as exercise aids
in determining heart rate trends in general.

call our Customer Service Department to order a free replacement decal (see the front cover of this
manual). Apply the decal in the location shown.
Note: This decal is shown at 20% of actual size.
PROBLEM: The chest pulse sensor does not function properly
SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 8.
b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery
should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover
on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover
and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position. Remove
the cover.
Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit. Insert a new CR
2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make
sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the
battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each side 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.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our Customer Service Department.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. 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 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 each
side of the walking belt 7–10 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
carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly or does not change when iFIT CDs and
videos are played
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing,
remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline.
