1.3SETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Life Fitness Treadmill requires a dedicated* line

according to the electrical configurations listed in the chart below.

* One individual branch circuit for each treadmill per NEC article

210-21 (b) (1) and 210-23 (or other appropriate, country specific electrical compliance guidelines). The hot, neutral and ground

wires must each be routed independently (not looped or tied to other circuits.)" .

NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this

product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali-

fied electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 20-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. Models drawing 16 amps or more must be installed on a dedicated line.

IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur temporaire pour brancher cette fiche sur une prise bipolaire en Amérique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 20 A correctement mise à la terre n'est disponible, en faire installer une par un électricien qualifié. Les modèles utilisant 16 A ou plus doivent être branchés sur un circuit spécialisé.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Any modification to the electrical plug will result in a voided warranty.

DANGER:Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise à la terre peut entraîner des risques de décharge électrique. Consulter un électricien si des doutes subsistent quant à la technique de mise à la terre. NE PAS MODIFIER la fiche fournie avec l'appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas à une prise, faire installer une prise correcte par un électricien qualifié. Toute modification à la fiche annule la garantie.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the treadmill to the location in which it will be used. See

Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions.) Allow a distance of eight inches, or 21 centimeters, between the

treadmill and other units on either side. Allow a distance of six feet, or two meters, from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To adjust, loosen the JAM NUT (A), and turn the STABILIZING LEG (B) until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the JAM NUT.

NOTE: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level is recommended to ensure proper leveling.

POWER SWITCH

Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions: "I" (one) for ON and "0" (zero) for OFF.

SETTING THE CLOCK

The unit contains a clock, which is used for system maintenance and event tracking. After the unit has been turned ON, the display will prompt the user to set the clock. This prompt appears for the first three times that the unit is turned on.

To change the Clock setting, press and hold the COOLDOWN key. Then touch the Life Fitness icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen twice consecutively (double-touch). From there select Configuration, and then Clock. Use the up and down arrows to set the time, and then select the AM or PM button. To set the date, use the Previous Month and Next Month buttons to bring up the correct month and year on the calendar. Touch the appropriate day on the calendar. Select OK to accept. At this point, the clock has been reset, and the normal startup procedure continues.

12

CENTERING THE BELT

After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Power Requirements at the beginning of this section for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.

Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill frame. Do not stand on the belt at this time. Press the QUICK START key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using the SPEED UP arrow.

If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (A) a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration below. This action sets the striding belt tracking back to center of the roller.

If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller.

Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized.

NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If, after one full turn, the belt does not track properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

SMART STOPTM BELT STOP SYSTEM

The Smart StopTM belt stop system (B) senses that a user is standing on the belt. If the user steps off while the striding belt is in motion, after a brief delay, the system automatically pauses the workout. (During the FIT TEST, the workout is aborted.) To continue the workout, press the ENTER key.

13

FITNESS NETWORKING

One type RJ45 networking port (A) is located on the right bottom of the front of the treadmill. This network port allows the treadmill to be connected to a fitness network, such as FitLinxx®.

The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program.

POWER CORD ROUTING

The power cord can be run straight from the treadmill, shortened and exited out the user-front left side, or run under the frame using the power cord clips and exited out the user right-rear side of the treadmill.

For efficient cord management, the following routing options are recommended:

With the power cord unplugged, insert the clips in the appropriate holes. See the illustration below. Use Hole Pattern 1 or 2 to locate the clips and secure the power cord with the clips, taking up any slack between clips.

NOTE: It may be necessary to tip the treadmill to route the power cord properly.

To plug the power cord into an outlet in front of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 1 for outlets located at the front of the machine.

NOTE: To accommodate treadmill incline, at least two feet (24”) of power cord is required between the outlet and the last power cord clip for outlets in front of the treadmill.

To plug the power cord into an outlet in rear of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 2 for outlets located at the rear of the machine.

WARNING: Make sure that there is a 6-foot clearance behind the treadmill. Contact Life Fitness Customer Service for an optional longer power cord if necessary.

DANGER: Insure that the power cord (A) does not contact the striding belt or get pinched between the frame (C), lift arm (B) or the wheel; failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury.

AVERTISSEMENT : S'assurer que le cordon d'alimentation n'entre pas en contact avec le tapis et

ne soit pas pincé entre le cadre, le bras de levage ou la roue. Le non-respect de cet avertissement

peut provoquer de graves blessures.

NOTE: When using Pattern 1, it is extremely important to route the power cord BETWEEN the lift frame and the main frame.
