OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING 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 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 home’s 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
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local HealthRider dealer or call 1-800-806-3651
and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion 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 suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 suppressor 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 product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an impressive array 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 console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
Eight preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. You
can even create your own custom workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.
Whether you select the manual mode or use a workout
program, the personal television will allow you to watch
the program of your choice while you get in shape.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
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 (iFIT.com CDs 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 Web site at www.iFIT.com and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. Additional options are
soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call tollfree 1-800-735-0768. For information about an optional
chest pulse sensor or other accessories, see page 21.
