BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. A rubber mallet may be needed for assembly.

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 or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply 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 (65) until the treadmill is in the position shown.

2. Press the Lock Knob Sleeve (68) into the left Upright (65). If necessary, use a rubber mallet to tap the Lock Knob Sleeve into the Upright.

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. (Note: If there are two Lock Pin Collars, place one on each side of the Spring.) Insert the Lock Pin into the left Upright (65) and tighten the Lock Knob onto the Lock Pin.

3. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a

secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see pages 25 and 26). To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The heart rate monitor 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 through the hole in one end of the sensor unit. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be almost flush with the front of the sensor unit.

Next, wrap the heart rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor should be under your clothes, 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.

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each

use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are

dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the heart rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor.

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

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the heart rate monitor is used with the console. If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor exactly as described at the left. Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function when positioned as described, move 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 heart rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor 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 LUBE

, 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 IMAGE 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 treadmill 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 display instant exercise feedback—you can watch your progress on the LED track while the five displays show your heart rate, the number of calories and fat calories you have burned, the distance you have walked, the incline, the number of laps completed, your speed, your pace, and workout time.

Six preset workout programs are also offered: four performance programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts, and two pulse programs control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a preset range during your workouts.

The console even allows you to create your own custom workout programs and store them in the console’s 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 different programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (iFIT.com 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.

(The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the next seven periods will be shown in the seven columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second period.

The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

Note: Each time a period ends and the speed settings move one column to the left, if all of the indicators in the Current Period column are lit, all speed settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators in the columns will appear in the program display. When the speed settings move to the left again and not all of the indicators in the Current Period column are lit, the speed settings will move back up.

If the speed or incline setting for the current period is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline buttons on the console. Every few times one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Period column. If any of the columns to the right of the Current Period column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Period column, an additional indicator will light or darken in those columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the speed setting so that all of the indicators in the Current Period column are lit, the speed settings in the program display will not move downward as described above.

the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest level. Next, remove the key from the console. Keep the key in a secure place. Note: If the displays and indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode. Refer to page 22 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, move the on/off switch near the power cord to the off position.

HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS

Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10.

Select one of the pulse programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. To select one of the pulse programs, press the Program Select button repeatedly until one of the two pulse program indicators lights.

The profiles on the console show how the target heart rate will change during the pulse programs. The numbers at the left end of the profiles show the heart rate range for the programs. For example, the first profile shows that the treadmill will keep your heart rate at 65% to 85% of your maximum heart rate during the first program. (Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart rate is 195 beats per minute.)

When a pulse program is selected, the program display will show a simplified profile of the program.

Enter your age.

When a pulse program is selected, the letters “AGE” will appear in the Pulse display. You must enter your age to use a pulse program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 4. If you have not entered your age, press the

▲▲

▼▼

button beside the Enter button to enter your age. When your age is shown in the Pulse display, press the Enter button. Once you have entered

your age, your age will be saved in memory.

Put on the heart rate monitor.

The heart rate monitor must be worn when a pulse program is used. See HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR on page 6. Note: A pulse program can be started without a heart rate reading; however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically decrease if your heart rate is not detected during the program.

Press the Start button.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each pulse program is divided into twenty-three, oneminute periods. One heart rate setting is programmed for each period. The heart rate setting for the first period will be shown in the flashing Current Period column of the program display. The heart rate settings for the next seven periods will be shown in the seven columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for the second period.

As you exercise, the Target Heart Rate display will show whether your heart rate is near the target heart rate. If your heart rate is within 15 beats per minute of the target heart rate, the indicator in the center will light. If your heart rate is too low or too high, the low or high arrows will light.

If your heart rate is not detected during the program, the Pulse display will be blank. (See HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page

6.) The speed and/or incline of the treadmill may also decrease until your heart rate is detected.

The program will continue until the heart rate setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

While the program is in progress, minor adjustments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if you increase the speed, the incline will automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The console will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current period. Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

The program should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted.To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.

Follow your progress with the five displays.

Refer to step 6 on page 11.

Remove the key from the console.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed information about exercise, obtain a book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your training zone.

You can find your training zone in the table below. Training zones are listed according to age and physical condition.

Burning Fat

To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle of your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three important parts: (1) a warm-up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.

Warming Up

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 29).

Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

WARNING: Before beginning

this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.

WARNING: The heart rate moni-

tor is not a medical device. Various factors, including your movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Cooling Down

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
