Introduction

Congratulations! You’ve made a very smart investment! Your Executive Trainer treadmill is a high-quality fitness tool that will give you years and years of fitness benefits.

One of the great things about the Executive Trainer is its diversity of applications. It’s terrific for just starting out on a walking program or easy jog. In the case of a veteran runner, it’s the exact prescription needed for precision interval training to lower your 10K time.

Regardless of the application, unpleasant weather is not an obstacle. Cold, windy, wet days will never discourage you again, nor will the heat and humidity of the summer months. If you’re the type of person that likes to do two things at once, now you can watch your favorite program on TV or keep an eye on your kids and take care of your health at the same time.

Did you know that your treadmill is an excellent stair-climbing simulator? Stair climbing has become a popular exercise today. Your treadmill, when elevated, is a very good climber with more safety and comfort than a dedicated stair climber!

Your treadmill was a smart purchase, but you already knew that, so let’s move on and get started.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Be sure to familiarize yourself with this manual. Look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control panel operation before using the treadmill.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Fill out your warranty registration card and mail it in today. Landice backs your treadmill with a strong warranty. For the factory to respond to any problems you may have, we need your warranty information on file. Do it today.

Landice will send you a complimentary Landice T-shirt upon receipt of your warranty registration card.

SELECTING A LOCATION

Install your treadmill in a climate controlled room.

Allow a minimum clearance of 18 inches on each side of the treadmill. Allow a minimum clearance of 4 feet at the rear of the treadmill.

Failure to leave ample clearance at the rear of the treadmill could result in the user becoming trapped between the treadmill and the wall should the user accidentally trip and fall while exercising.

Be sure the line cord has plenty of slack and does not get pinched underneath the treadmill when the treadmill elevates up and down. Make sure the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated line.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Following are some things you should do before you start to exercise on your treadmill:

Page 7

Assembly Instructions

• On L7 treadmills it is necessary to remove the bolts which hold the treadmill to the pallet.

• Start by removing the top bolts.

• Lay the treadmill on the ground, and then remove the bottom bolts by placing the treadmill on your toolbox.

• With the bolts removed, the treadmill will be free to move around in the box.

• Remove the metal strapping around the box.

• Using a razor blade knife, cut the box just above the bottom row of brass staples along all sides of the box.

•

DO NOT cut through the center of the box, as you could damage the treadmill.

• Remove the box and discard.

• The treadmill components are held together with plastic strapping.

• Carefully cut and remove the strapping. Remove the treadmill upright and accessory boxes from the treadmill. Lift the treadmill off the pallet.

• Carefully remove the upright side cover from the upright assembly.

• Slide the upright down onto the 8-side frame bolts.

• Tighten bolts with a 7/16” extended socket.

• The handrail mounting bolts have been threaded into the rails for shipping. Remove them.

• Attach both handrails by first hand-starting the bolts through the upright and then using a 1/2” socket. Leave about 1/8” of slack.

(DO NOT TIGHTEN FLUSH TO SURFACE).

• After mounting both handrails, gently lower the curved crossbar into position between them.

• Each end of the crossbar should cover the two smaller access holes that are cut into the handrails.

• Leave contact heart rate connection harness hanging for now.

STEP 1:

Unbolt treadmill from pallet

STEP 2:

Cut the box off the pallet

STEP 3:

Unstrap the treadmill

STEP 4:

Secure upright to frame

STEP 5: Prepare to install hand rails (Med Rails: the word handrails refers to the 4” clamps for steps 5-8)

STEP 6:

Place crossbar

• Using an extended 1/2” socket, carefully guide the 2 inch bolt with lock washer into the big access hole in the side of the handrail.

• Once the bolt reaches the crossbar, tighten it.

• Repeat this step with the other handrail.

STEP 7:

Secure crossbar

• Press the dome plugs into the large access holes on the side of the handrails.

• Finish tightening the handrail bolts from STEP 5.

• Note: Med Rails go to Appendix

A on page 30.

STEP 8:

Page 8

Assembly Instructions

• Feed the contact heart rate harness through the access hole in the inside of the left upright (insert strain relief provided). Feed harness up into the control panel.

• Pull back the membrane and connect harness to white 3-pin connector on side of display board.

• Unscrew the unused screw on the top of the upright where the contact harness enters the control panel.

• Feed the screw through the green grounding wire eyelet and rescrew it back into place.

• Put the membrane back into place.

• Carefully align the upright cover to upright. Working from top to bottom, snap the upright cover into place.

• Check the tension on the drive belt by placing the drive belt between your thumb and forefinger and twisting.

• The proper twist is 45˚. If the belt needs to be adjusted use a 7/16” socket and turn the bolt underneath the motor pan attached to the motor’s hook screw.

STEP 9:

Connect contact bar

STEP 10:

Ground contact bar

STEP 11: Snap upright covers into place

STEP 13:

Check drive belt tension

• Press the plastic end cap into the upright carefully fitting the plastic pins into the small bosses in the aluminum.

• Align the upright cover beneath the end cap and install the Phillips head screw.

• Tighten the Phillips head screw until side cover aligns with endcap

Fitness Tests/ Protocols Overview

The Executive Trainer includes 2 fitness tests and 4 fitness protocols. Based on your specific age, gender, and performance they calculate your fitness level. The Balke and the Firefighter Fitness Tests are heart rate controlled.

• Balke Fitness Test (HRC: must use Accutrack or Wireless Chest Strap) Test Parameters

• Maximum Speed: 4.4 mph (5 mph with an L9), controlled by treadmill

• Maximum Grade: 15% (12% with an L9), controlled by treadmill

• Maximum Heart Rate: 80% of Maximum Heart Rate (see Heart Rate Monitoring)

Description

• It’s a heart rate controlled, walking pace, variable incline fitness test. The test increases in difficulty in an

effort to raise your heart rate to a target. Upon reaching your target heart rate, the test will terminate and calculate a fitness assessment based on your performance (VO2Max Score).

• Firefighter (Gerkin) Fitness Test (HRC: must use Wireless Chest Strap) Test Parameters

• Maximum Speed: 7 mph,

• Maximum Grade: 15% (12% with an L9), controlled by treadmill

• Maximum Heart Rate: 85% of Maximum Heart Rate (see Heart Rate Monitoring)

Description

• It’s a heart rate controlled, variable speed and incline fitness test. The test increases in difficulty in an

effort to raise your heart rate to a target. Upon reaching your target heart rate, the test will terminate and calculate a fitness level based on your performance (VO2 Max Score).

What is VO2Max?

A person’s fitness level can be measured by the amount of oxygen his or her body can consume while exercising at maximum capacity. VO2Max is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters an individual can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight. For years, only fitness trainers and doctors had access to this intricate fitness calculation. Fortunately, the Executive Trainer not only takes care of all the complex VO2Max calculations, but also gives you a simple evaluation anyone can understand.

Scores may vary due to different line voltages, component tolerances, and individual’s affinity towards each test’s parameters. For a more accurate VO2Max calculation, take the average of the two scores (Balke and Firefighter Fitness Test).

• Fitness Protocols:

NAVY 11/

2-Mile Test, Army 2-Mile Test, Air Force 2-Mile Test, Marine Core 3-Mile Test

Test Parameters

• Maximum Speed: At user’s discretion

• Maximum Grade: Deactivated and set at 0%

• Maximum Heart Rate: Not part of test

Description

• These are manually controlled, flat ground, complete as fast as you can run. Upon completion you will

receive an assessment score (0-100) or superlative.

Taking a Fitness Test

To take a Fitness Test:

From the Menu Screen, select Programs -> Specialty Programs. In the Specialty Programs screen, you can select one of the 2 fitness tests that the Executive Trainer has to offer. Remember, both of these tests are heart rate controlled.

Upon selecting the fitness test of your choice, you will advance to the fitness test set up screen. Use the designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad to adjust your age and gender. Press Continue.

***Note: Before pressing start, you will be prompted with the heart rate that the fitness test will target. This heart rate calculation is derived from statistical heart rate capacity averages (see Heart Rate Monitoring). If you are uncomfortable with the target heart rate displayed or feel discomfort at any point during the fitness test, stop the test***

Press START to begin the test.

You must hold on to the contact heart rate crossbar or wear you heart rate transmitter strap during the entire test. If the treadmill loses a heart rate signal for more than 30 seconds, the test will be invalidated and terminated.

The HRC fitness tests are fully automated and will increase in difficulty from segment to segment until the user achieves the target heart rate (Balke - 80% of Max HR; Firefighter – 85% of Max HR). Once you reach the target pulse, a countdown will begin to ensure that your pulse has indeed stabilized at the target. Any keystrokes during the test other than BACK, MENU,or NEXT will invalidate and terminate the test.

Balke Fitness Test:

Upon completion, you will receive a VO2Max score and fitness assessment based on your performance versus your demographics.

Firefighter Fitness Test:

Upon completion, you will receive a VO2 Max score and fitness assessment based on your performance versus the general population.

Heart Rate Monitoring

The Executive Trainer treadmill comes standard with a wireless heart rate monitoring device and a contact heart rate crossbar (see AccuTrack Heart Rate Monitoring System) to give you feedback on how your body is affected by your workout. We will take a look at a few basic concepts of heart rate monitoring so you can better understand how it all works and how to maximize its use to allow you to reach the fitness level you desire.

What is exercise intensity? Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are working at a given time during exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the world’s leading medical and scientific authority on sports medicine and fitness, recommends that every individual involved in an exercise program know how hard his/her body is working during exercise.

Your heart provides key information for determining how intensely you are working during exercise. Your heart rate (how many times your heart beats per minute) is really an efficiency rating for your entire body. The number of times your heart beats during each minute of exercise is a measurement of the intensity of the exercise. If your heart rate is low, exercise intensity is low; if your heart rate is high, your exercise intensity is high.

What is maximum heart rate? Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum attainable heart rate your body can reach before total exhaustion. True maximum heart rate is measured during a fatigue or “stress” test. This test must be done in a clinical setting and is not practical or accessible for most people. Fortunately, your maximum heart rate can be established with a high degree of accuracy using the following simple formula:

Estimated Maximum Heart Rate

185 beats per minute is the estimated maximum number of times John’s heart can beat before his body would fatigue or “max out.” This number is extremely helpful because it tells us the absolute highest exercise intensity John can handle before his body wears out. The ACSM says that during exercise, John should keep his heart rate below his maximum so that he will not become exhausted and have to quit. In fact, the ACSM gives John a specific percentage range of his maximum heart rate to exercise in, known as his Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ).

WARNING: The use of this formula assumes no underlying heart or respiratory disease or other condition,

which could be adversely affected by exercise. Consult your doctor before using this chart!!!

If John is 35 years old, what is his estimated maximum heart rate?

220

-35

John’s Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 185

Page 29

Heart Rate Monitoring

Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong and efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective when you work out in a specific heart rate range or zone. This is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is reflected by the number of beats per minute your heart pumps. This zone can vary greatly depending on your age, fitness level and various other factors. If your heart rate is too low during exercise, your body reaps little or no benefit. This means you’re not likely to see the results you want, like weight loss or increased endurance. If your heart rate is too high during exercise, you may tire too quickly and become frustrated, or even run the risk of injury. In this case, you’re likely to quit exercising because it’s simply too difficult.

Monitoring exercise intensity helps you to stay at a level of exercise that allows you to accomplish your goals.

In fact, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that, in order to get the most benefit from your cardiovascular exercise, you should work within your Target Heart Rate Zone for at least 20 to 60 minutes per workout, 3 to 5 times per week. Knowing your exercise intensity (heart rate) will allow you to work at the right level of exercise to accomplish this.

Your Target Heart Rate Zone represents the minimum and maximum number of times your heart should beat in one minute of exercise. The American College if Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that all individuals should work within a Target Heart Rate Zone of 60% to 85% of Maximum Heart Rate. This means that your heart rate during exercise should not fall below 60% or rise above 85% of your maximum heart rate. Let’s look at John from our earlier example. John is 35 years old, so his estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus 35, or 185 beats per minute (bpm). The ACSM says that John should exercise between 60% and 85% of 185 beats per minute to stay in his THRZ. Let’s determine John’s THRZ:

111-157 beats per minute is the range or zone John will want to keep his heart rate in during exercise in order to achieve his goals. If John is a beginning exerciser, he’ll want to stay at the low end of his THRZ. If John is a more advanced exerciser, he may want to work at the higher end of his THRZ to challenge himself more.

Different Intensity Levels within a Target Heart Rate Zone

Beginner: 60% of MHR Weight Loss: 75% of MHR Aerobic: 85% of MHR

A monitor consists of two parts: a transmitter and a receiver. The Executive Trainer comes equipped with 2 transmitter options (the wireless chest strap or the contact heart rate bar). Each times your heart beats, the electrodes detect the beat and send the information to the receiver on the treadmill. Your current heart rate (bpm) is visible on the treadmill’s display.

Why should I monitor exercise intensity?

How do I determine my Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ)?

What is a heart monitor?

John’s Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 185 bpm Lower Target Limit 185 bpm (mhr) x 0.6 = 111 bpm Upper Target Limit185 bpm (mhr) x 0.85 = 157 bpm John’s Target Heart Rate Zone = 111 - 157 bpm

Heart rate monitors and motivation

KEEP YOU SAFE

Exercising too hard can put you at risk for injury. A heart rate monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate intensity at which you should exercise and warns you when your workouts go too far.

KEEP YOU IN YOUR ZONE

If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor is your constant reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.

SAVE YOU TIME

Our heart rate monitor is wireless and easy to use, so you can view valuable heart rate information at any time during exercise without interrupting or stopping your workout.

GIVE YOU ACCURATE FEEDBACK

Our heart rate monitor is more accurate so you know exactly what your level of exercise intensity is during workouts. Pulsemeters have a high margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise can result in errors as high as plus or minus 15 beats per minute, with the risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.

The Executive Trainer includes two separate heart rate monitoring systems: The wireless heart rate chest strap transmitter and the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate.

Wireless Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter (shown below)

To use the Wireless Chest Strap follow these steps:

Secure the Chest Strap Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt is as tight as possible without being uncomfortable.

Apply Cardio Gel to the Electrodes A tube of Landice Cardio Gel was shipped with your Executive Trainer treadmill. Pull the belt away from your chest and apply a small dab to each electrode. This will ensure a strong electrical contact between the transmitter and your chest.

The Heart Rate Transmitter works best against bare skin. Since sweat (saltwater) is an electrical conductor, the transmitter will work over a T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat. If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try wearing the belt against bare skin.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The transmitter activates when the belt is properly wetted. In order to conserve battery life, wipe the electrodes dry when not in use. Clean monthly with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives in cleaning, as they can cause permanent damage to the electrodes. Do not bend or stretch the electrode strips, especially when storing the belt transmitter.

Heart Rate Monitors

Page 31

AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™

The AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™ can be used in place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following functions:

• Monitor your Time in Zone

• Control HRC programs

• Help you maintain your Target Pulse

1. Use the NEXT button to switch to any screen that shows Pulse (see above).

2. Grab on to the pulse grips.

3. As soon as you put your hands on the grips the pulse will flash. This indicates that the system has been activated.

4. Pulse will “beat” briefly and then display your heart rate. Your heart rate will be continuously monitored while your hands remain on the grips.

NOTE: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the AccuTrack system will override the wireless signal while your hands are on the bar. Once you release the AccuTrack bar, the treadmill will then default back to the wireless chest strap signal.

The HRC programs will continue to make speed and elevation adjustments to keep you at your target heart rate while your hands remain on the grips. If you remove your hands the HRC programs will not make any speed or elevation changes until you place your hands on the grips again.

The AccuTrack system is designed to be used at walking speeds. A natural running motion involves using your arms to maintain balance. Since contact heart rate systems require your arms to remain stationary, we recommend using the system only at speeds of less than approximately 4 mph (6.4 km/h) or the fastest speed at which you are comfortable walking.

Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts

This depends on several things such as body weight, fitness goals, and what you like to do. Walking is the safest, most compatible form of exercise for most people. If you’re just starting out, are new to exercise, or participate in aerobic activities less than three times per week, we recommend that you walk. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced runner, stick with your program — use your treadmill the way you want.

Here are some considerations to keep in mind:

[1] If you’re interested in weight control, walking can burn as many calories as a moderate running pace. To get a very

small increase in caloric expenditure, you have to run fast and, for most people, the extra effort isn’t worth it.

[2] Your chance of losing weight successfully is far greater with walking. Walking increases your daily caloric expenditure,

raises your metabolism and is easier to stick with than running.

[3] Heavy users should always walk until they’ve shed some extra pounds and are closer to their desired body weight.

Extra weight means extra stress on joints and muscles, which in turn means residual muscle soreness.

[4] If you’re concerned about getting a “tough” workout and don’t think walking is adequate, try walking up a hill!

You can get just as much cardiovascular intensity (heart rate and breathing response) from walking as you can from running. Don’t fool yourself with preconceived notions about walking — you can sweat just as much by walking as by running.

Take it easy! Walk. Lose weight in comfort. Avoid being sore and discouraged. After you’ve reached your target weight, reevaluate. If you like walking and want to stick with it, terrific. On the other hand, if some running is appealing, try it out and see what it’s like. Just remember that walking will get you fit and keep you fit.

Should you walk or run?

Page 33

Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts

FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE

Walkers: Walk 3-6 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day. Runners: Run 3-5 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day.

DURATION OF EXERCISE

Walkers: Walk every day. Runners: Run three to five times per week.

DURING YOUR WORKOUT

• Stay in the middle portion of the treadbelt.

• Monitor your breathing. Can you carry on a normal conversation or are you out of breath? If you use the heart rate method of monitoring intensity, are you within the heart rate zone?

• Change the speed and incline as needed to stay within the breathing and heart rate criteria.

AFTER YOUR WORKOUT

• Drink a large glass of water (you’ll recover faster).

• Congratulate yourself for completing the workout.

• Do some light stretching exercises.

• Record that you completed the workout on your calendar.

KEEPING TRACK OF PROGRESS

• Keep a calendar that shows scheduled and actual workouts.

• Record every workout you complete.

• Compare planned with actual workouts completed. Aim for 90% completion. If you’re averaging less than 90%, reevaluate your schedule and examine why you’re missing 10% of your workouts (and the extra benefits from those missing workouts).

CALORIE COMPUTATIONS

• Calories and calories/hour are calculated using the formulas developed by the ACSM. There are

two different equations. One is for walking and one for running. The ACSM uses the walking equation for speeds less than or equal to 3.7 mph. The running equations are used for speeds in excess of 3.8 mph.

• The computations are based on a 150-pound person, which is a close enough estimate for most

people. If you wish the equations to be more precise, you may enter your weight into the treadmill (see Getting Started).

Treadmill Maintenance

TRACKING

The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise) the adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards and loosening the bolt on the opposite side an equal amount, will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running and in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment. Run the belt at high speed (6-8 mph). To insure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and level surface.

A yellow warning label will show at the rear of the treadmill when the treadbelt is not tracked correctly (L8 and L9 only).

TREADBELT TENSIONING (pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)

Need for tension is indicated by uneven belt speed and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt when your foot comes down on the belt. To check belt tension, run treadmill at 1 mph. Then, walk on machine. If belt does not feel like it is slipping/hesitating, then belt is tensioned correctly. If belt slips/hesitates, then it is not fully tensioned. The same hex head bolts used for tracking also tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both bolts clockwise exactly the same amount a 1/4-turn at a time. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.Continue checking for treadbelt slipping. Once treadbelt is fully tensioned, speed up treadmill to 5 mph. Then, while jogging lightly, check for any sudden slipping/hesitating of the treadbelt. Repeat treadbelt tensioning instructions if required.

MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSIONING (pre-set from factory)

The drive belt is tensioned by a nut located under the motor pan. This nut is screwed to a hook, which is attached to the motor bracket. By turning the nut clockwise, you will tighten the nut pulling down the motor bracket, which will tighten the drive belt.DD

-TIGHTEN. If you over-tighten this belt you will snap the motor shaft. To measure the ten-

sion, twist the drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist the drive belt 45˚. If you can twist the belt past 45˚, it is too loose. If you cannot twist the belt to at least 45˚, it is too tight.

TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING

It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last longer and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.

Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In institutional settings Landice recommends lubricating the underside of the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis (see SLIPCOAT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS sheet in Lubrication Kit Box).

MOTOR BRUSHES

Motor brushes should be checked every six months on institutional treadmills and after six years on home units.

Service Check-List

• Tension and track treadbelt

• Lubricate belt and vacuum treadmill

• Check drive belt tension

• Check motor brushes

DANGER: Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are exposed when the drive

housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover be removed except by a

Landice factory-authorized technician.

WARNING: Moving parts can cause serious damage.

Be sure to unplug treadmill before placing hands underneath the treadbelt!!!
