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. Assembly requires the included allen wrench
and your own adjustable wrench (not included).

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.

2. Finger tighten an Upright Bolt (7) into the lower end of the
handrail on the right side of the treadmill.

Next, hold an Upright Spacer (11) inside the lower end of
the right Upright (80). Insert an Upright Bolt (7) through
the Upright and the Upright Spacer. Reach under the
treadmill and finger tighten an Upright Nut (25) onto the
Upright Bolt.

Repeat this step on the left side of the treadmill (not
shown).

Tighten all three Upright Bolts (7) on each side.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (80) until the treadmill is in the position shown.
Note: Be careful not to damage the Hood (85) with the
handrails as you raise the Uprights.

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 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.

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 clothÑnever

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

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 the heart rate monitor 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 heart rate monitor
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 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 14).
