Uprights (65) until the treadmill is in the position shown.
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.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING 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 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 homeÕs 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 toll-free 1-800-999-3756 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.
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 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 productÑif 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 feedbackÑyou can watch your
progress on the LED track while the four displays
show the number of calories and fat calories you have
burned, the distance you have walked, the incline level
of the treadmill, the number of laps completed, your
speed, your pace, and workout time.
The console also offers four performance programs
and two total-body workout programs. Each program
automatically controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
The total-body workout programs also prompt you to
use the included hand weights for upper-body exercise.
The console even allows you to create custom workout
programs and store them in memory for future use.
The console also includes built-in 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 (CDÕs 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 (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 instructorÑthe hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com
and access basic programs, audio programs, and
video programs directly from the internet. And by
adding an optional upgrade module to the console,
you can use virtually endless features from our internet
site. See www.iFIT.com for complete details.
To purchase iFIT.com CDÕs, iFIT.com videocassettes,
or an optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800735-0768.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a performance
program or a total-body workout program, see
page 12. To create a custom program, see page 13.
To use a custom program, see page 14.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FIRMNESS OF THE
CUSHIONING SYSTEM
The treadmill
features a cushioning system
that reduces the
impact as you
walk or run on
the treadmill.
The firmness of
the cushioning
system is controlled with the knob on the right side of the treadmill.
To increase the firmness, turn the knob clockwise; to
decrease the firmness, turn the knob counterclockwise. Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, or
the heavier your weight, the firmer the cushioning
system should be. If the cushioning system is too
soft, you will hear the walking platform hitting the
platform bumpers as you run.
