ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled, No tools are required.
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or
the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or
on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DAN GER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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 in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread- 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive selection of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, the four displays
will show your workout time, the number of calories
you have burned, the distance you have walked, the
incline level of the treadmill, and the speed of the walk-
ing belt. If you purchase an optional handgrip pulse
sensor or chest pulse sensor, the console will also
show your heart rate.
The console also offers four preset workout programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. The included hand weights can be used for
upper body exercise as well. If you purchase the op-
tional chest pulse sensor, the console's two pulse pro-
grams can also be used. Each program controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
within a preset range during your workouts.
The console also features advanced iFit.com technol-
ogy. IFit.com technology is like having a personal
trainer right in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFit.com CD programs (CD's are available separately).
IFit.com CD programs automatically control the speed
and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides
8
you through every step of your workout. High-energy
music provides added motivation. Each CD features
two programs designed by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFit.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFit.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor--the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFit.com
and access basic programs that interactively control
the speed and incline of your treadmill to help you
achieve your specific exercise goals. Or, use iFit.com
audio and video programs directly from our internet
site. Visit www.iFit.com for complete details.
By adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill,
you can use virtually endless features from our internet
site. See www.iFit.com to learn about other iFit.com
features.
To purchase iFit.com CD's, iFit.com videocassettes,
or an optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800-735-
0768. For information about the optional handgrip pulse
sensor or chest pulse sensor, see page 20.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a preset program,
see page 12. To use a pulse program, see page 13.
To use iFit.com CD or video programs, see page 17.

net site, see page 19.
