Harness (12) (see the inset drawing). Hold an Upright Spacer
(25) inside the lower end of the Right Upright. Insert a 3/8" x
3 1/2" Bolt (27), with one of the four Upright Washers (26), into
the lower hole in the Right Upright, and through the Upright
Spacer. Slide a Star Washer (49) onto the Bolt. Finger tighten
the Bolt into the indicated hole in the Frame (50).

2. Hold the right end of the Console Crossbar (6) near the Right
Upright (15). Connect the Console Wire Harness (10) to the
Upright Wire Harness (12). The small latch on the Console
Wire Hamess should snap onto the Upright Wire Hamess (see
the inset drawing). If the Wire Harnesses do notfit together
easily, turn them; do not force the Wire Harnesses together.
Slide the ends of the 6" Cable Looms (30) against the ends of
the Wire Harnesses (10, 12). Insert the Cable Looms into the
Right Upright (15). Be careful not to damage the Wire
Harnesses.
3. Slide the ends of the Console Crossbar (6) into the Right and
Left Uprights (15, 2) as shown. Insert a Console Knob (3) into
each Upright, and thread the Console Knobs into the ends of
the Console Crossbar. Rotate the Console (9) to the desired
angle, and tighten the Console Knobs.

HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The treadmill features a state-of-the-art cordless pulse
sensor, specially designed for greater accuracy, com-
fort, and durability. Please read the following
Instructions before using the pulse sensor.
HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
The pulse sensor requires two "AAA" batteries.
Alkaline batteries are recommended. To install batter-
ies, first slide off the battery cover as shown below.
. Battery \__
Note the markings inside the battery compartment
showing which direction batteries must be tumed.
Insert two =AAA" batteries into the battery compart-
ment. Replace the battery cover.

window and your forehead.

PROPER ORIENTATION OF THE PULSE SENSOR
The transmitter on the pulse sensor is angled down-
ward, as shownbelow. For the pulse sensor to func-
tion properly, the transmitter must be pointed within
30' of the center of the console (the shaded area in
the drawing). If you turn your head too far away from
the console, the signal from the pulse sensor will not
be received.
Transmitter
For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head-
band must fit snugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable. To adjust the headband, insert the
adjustment
tab through
the appropri-
ate hole in
the head-
band. Note:
Each time
you exer-
cise, the
headband
may expand
slightly dur-
Ing the first
few minutes
of use, It may be necessary to readjust the head-
band periodically.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR
Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put
on the headband as shown at the top of this page.

GUIDELINES FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE PULSE
READINGS
The instructions on page 11 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see HOW TO USE
THE PULSE DISPLAY). For the best results, remem-
ber the following important guidelines:
1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
for a moment to stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband fitssnugly around
your head, without being uncomfortable. If the
headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may
not be detected.

w The headband must be worn with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead (see HOW TO PUT
ON THE PULSE SENSOR on page 7). The small
button next to the sensor window must be
depressed. Make sure that there is no hair in front of
the pulse sensor or between the sensor window and
your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead
may also interfere with pulse readings.
Note: If the pulse sensor does not detect your pulse
when the sensor window iscentered on your fore-
head, try positioningthe sensor window above your
dghtor left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of
your forehead, your pulse may be detected more
easily from a slightlydifferent position.
4. Avoid turning your head more than 30°away from
the console, or the console may not pick up the
signal from the pulse sensor.
Q
The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton
swab with water, and carefully wipe the sensor win-
dow.
6. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample and average your pulse every
few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sen-
sor, it may take up to ten seconds before an accu-
rate pulse is shown.
7. If the pulse sensor does notfunction properly, check
the batteries (see HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
on page 7).
HOW TO CLEAN THE PULSE SENSOR AND
HEADBAND
To clean the pulse sensor, first remove the headband.
Wipe the pulse sensor clean with a damp cloth. Never
Immerse the pulse sensor in water. To clean the
headband, hand wash it in mild detergent, gently wring
itout, and allow it to air dry.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING 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 plat-
form. They 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 con-
ditions or from other
appliances being turned 1
on or off. To decrease
the possibility of your
treadmll| being dam-
aged, always use a
surge protector (not
Included) with your
treadmill.

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 cimuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
treted 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 untila
propedy 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 propedy 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.

Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed 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
