IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the Incline Trainer.

1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this incline trainer are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

2.Use the Incline Trainer only as described.

3.Place the Incline Trainer on a level surface, with at least eight feet of clearance behind it and two feet on each side. Do not place the Incline Trainer on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the Incline Trainer.

4.Keep the Incline Trainer indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the Incline Trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5.Do not operate the Incline Trainer where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

6.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the Incline Trainer at all times.

7.The Incline Trainer should not be used by persons weighing more than 300 pounds.

8.Never allow more than one person on the Incline Trainer at a time.

9.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the Incline Trainer. Do not wear loose clothes that could become caught in the Incline Trainer. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women.

Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the Incline Trainer with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

10.When connecting the power cord (see page 11), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

11.Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local IMAGE dealer or call the tollfree telephone number on the front cover of

this manual and order part number 146148, or see your local electronics store.

12.Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the incline trainer. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

13.Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

14.Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the Incline Trainer if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the Incline Trainer is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the Incline Trainer is not working properly.)

21.Do not change the incline of the Incline Trainer by placing objects under the Incline Trainer.

22.Use the upper body handles only at walking speeds. Using the handles and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using the handles should be attempted only by experienced users.

23.When folding or moving the Incline Trainer, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

24.When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an electronic “chirping” sound will alert you when the speed and/or incline of the Incline Trainer is about to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.

25.When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can manually override the speed and incline settings by pressing the speed and incline

buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD or video program.

26.Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from your CD player or VCR when you are not using them.

27.Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the Incline Trainer regularly.

28.Never insert or drop any object into any opening.

29.DANGER: Always unplug the power cord immediately after use, before cleaning the Incline Trainer, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures described in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.

30.The Incline Trainer is intended for in-home use only. Do not use the Incline Trainer in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your incline trainer features a walking belt coated with 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

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.

Your incline trainer, 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 incline trainer being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your incline trainer (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local IMAGE dealer or call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order part number 146148, or see your local electronics store.

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 incline trainer. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed, accelerate or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

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 elec-

tric 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 incline trainer 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive array of features designed to help you get the most from your exercise. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 27).

The console also offers 5 speed programs and 10 incline programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer as it guides you though an effective workout. You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

In addition, the console offers four pulse programs that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer to keep your heart rate near a target level while you exercise. Note: The pulse programs require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the Incline Trainer to your home

stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately).

IFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

With the Incline Trainer connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access iFIT.com programs directly from the internet.

See www.iFIT.com for more information.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 13. To use a speed program or an incline program, see page 16. To create and use a custom program, see pages 18 and 19. To use a pulse program, see page 20. To use an iFIT.com CD or video program, see page 24. To use an iFIT.com program directly from our Web site, see page 26.

Note: During the first few minutes that the Incline Trainer is used, observe the alignment of the walking belt, and align it if necessary (see page 31).
