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

3. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the treadmill

to protect the floor or carpet. For your benefit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the
TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE section on pages 25 through 27.

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 sen­sor 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 sen­sor 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

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 clothÑnever

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 your-

self near the center of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within armÕs 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).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat­form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re­sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos­sibility of your tread­mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in­cluded) with your
treadmill.

Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL­listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.

This product must be
grounded. If it should

malfunction or break
down, grounding pro­vides a path of least re­sistance for electric cur­rent to reduce the risk of

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 ap­propriate 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 illus­trated 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 recep­tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out­let 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 elec­trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in­stalled by a qualified electrician.

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 (CDÕs 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
instructorÑthe 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,
