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.

1.With the help of a second person, carefully raise the Uprights (103) until the Wheels (99) are resting on the floor as shown.

2.Next, make sure that the Lock Knob Sleeve (68) is fully inserted into the left Upright (103).

Remove the Lock Knob (67) from the Lock Pin (72). Make sure that the Lock Pin Collar (70) and the Spring (69) are on the Lock Pin. Insert the Lock Pin into the left Upright (103) and tighten the Lock Knob onto it.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the sensor unit.

Next, wrap the chest pulse sen-

sor around your chest and attach

the other end of the chest strap to

the sensor unit. Adjust the length

of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sen-

sor should be under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

6

each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward and be right-side-up. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, try moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the center of the walking belt. For the console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 27).

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 displays will show your workout time, the number of calories and fat calories you have burned, the distance you have walked, the incline level of the treadmill, and the speed of the walking belt. If you use the built-in handgrip pulse sensor or chest pulse sensor, the console will also show your heart rate.

The console also offers six preset workout programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout. The included hand weights allow you to add upper body exercise to your workout as well. Two pulse programs are also offered. Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a preset range during your workout.

The console even allows you to create your own workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

The console also features advanced iFit.com technology. 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 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 (videocassettes 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, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. And by adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill, you can use virtually endless features from our internet site. See www.iFit.com for complete details.

To purchase iFit.com CD’s or videocassettes or an optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

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 create and use a custom program, see pages 15 and 16. To use an iFit.com CD or video program, see page 19. To use an iFit.com program directly from our internet site, see page 21.
