POUR TOUT USAGE ULTÉRIEUR.

1.2 SETUP

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 CST Treadmill requires a non-dedicated electrical line according to the configurations listed in the chart
below.

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 qualified 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.

An adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly
grounded, 15-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician.

IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur pour brancher cette fiche sur une prise bipolaire
en Amérique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 15 A correctement mise à la terre n'est disponible, en faire installer
une par un électricien qualifié.

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.

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 and move the treadmill to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7 for the
dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions).

SAFETY CLEARANCES

The following information is supplied as regional reference data regarding safety clearances around the exterior of the
treadmill.

• EU: The European EN957 Safety Standard requires a 2 meter (6.5 feet) minimum from the rear of the treadmill

to any object or surface.

• U.S. and other regions: The ASTM International (ASTM ) F2115 - 05 Standard recommends the minimum

dimensions to be 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) on each side of the treadmill and 1 meter (3.28 feet) behind the rearward
most portion of the usable moving surface or 2 meters (6.5 feet) behind the furthest rearward obstruction to
emergency egress from the treadmill.

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.

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 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 (C) a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration. 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.

10

C

SERVICE ACCESS PORT

The two interchangeable type RJ45 networking ports (A) are located on the back of the display
console. These network ports, located behind the display console rear access door, allow for console
software updates.

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 6.5 foot clearance behind the treadmill. Contact Life Fitness
Customer Services for an optional longer power cord if necessary.

WARNING: 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

3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING

®

3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®EXERCISE?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to
exercise.

Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal Heart
Rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription",
8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 *age)

The Life Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate
Zone Training+ exercise:

• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILLTM • EXTREME HEART RATE

TM

• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVAL

TM

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.

Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate using the NUMERIC keypad.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate

chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse

TM

sensors, to enable the treadmill’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a
workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart
rate.

Note: Reference the above chart for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING

THE LIFEPULSETMSYSTEM

To use the treadmill’s LifepulseTMsystem to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the
ErgoTMfront handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars. Contact must be maintained with all four sen­sors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors.

Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 mph or 7.2 kph. For these speeds, the use of a heart rate chest
strap is recommended.

THE OPTIONAL POLAR®TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed
against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the
user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support
Services to order.

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are
the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of
the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high
under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. How­ever, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap,
pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a Polar teleme­try heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest
strap is detected, the maximum speed is 12 mph.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins, at a

very slow speed with the incline level set to zero by default. Change the speed using the PRESET SPEED keys on the
Activity Zone to jump to a preset speed. Use the SPEED ARROW keys on the console or on the Activity Zone to gradually
move the speed up or down as desired, or use the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new speed value. Use the INCLINE ARROW
keys on the console or on the Activity Zone to move the incline gradually up or down as desired. For accurate caloric expendi­ture, enter your weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The preset speeds are as follows:

MANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline level or speed at any
time.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million
different patterns are possible.

FAT BURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65%t of the theoretical maximum(HRmax) for optimal
results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse

TM

sensors.
If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a heart shape,
and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the
heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system eliminates over- training
and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.

CARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the
theoretical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on
the heart muscle.

Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.

Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

SPEED INTERVAL

This program allows the user to toggle between user defined JOG and RUN speeds. The SPEED INTERVAL button will
flash throughout the workout. The user can toggle the speeds at any time during the workout by pressing the speed inter­val button. The current speed will appear in the speed display window.

The preset JOG and RUN speeds cannot be changed during a workout. The speed can be adjusted at any time during a
workout using the SPEED ARROW keys. Toggling the JOG and RUN speeds using the SPEED INTERVAL button will
reset the speeds to the preset JOG and RUN speeds.

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense
cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents
these high and low intervals as columns of illuminated LEDs, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The com­puterized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than
steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window dis­plays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the
workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse

TM

handles.

The MESSAGE CENTER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN and
the HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING programs.

1. Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target

zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2. Plateau increases the intensity slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.

Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3. Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills alternating with valleys or stints of recovery. The heart rate

should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

4 Cool Down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid and other exercise by-products

which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall
duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of
each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.

1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete all four
phases adequately. The program therefore condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10,
each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in
progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This
pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

22

PERSONAL TRAINER

• CUSTOM WORKOUTS

The treadmill console stores up to six custom workouts. For information on creating these workouts, see the topic titled
Programming Custom Workouts in Section 5.

To use custom workouts, press the PERSONAL TRAINER key repeatedly until the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PER­SONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”. Then, press ENTER. The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a custom

•

DISTANCE GOAL

This workout is designed to build endurance. The objective is to cover a certain distance in miles. Once the objective is
met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase, and ends afterward.

Note: When a user sets this goal with the TIME ARROW keys, the console displays the values in .10-mile increments.

•

CALORIES GOAL

This workout is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The objective is to burn a certain number of calories
in the selected time duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase, and ends
afterward.

•

TIME IN ZONE GOAL

The Time in Zone Goal program, a feature of Heart Rate Zone Training®, enhances FAT BURN and CARDIO workouts by set-
ting a duration for staying within the target zone as the workout goal. Once the duration objective is met, the workout goes into a
cool down phase.

•

SPORT TRAINING

TM

This distance-goal workout is designed for runners training for races. The program creates realistic terrains by setting different
incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the difficulty levels selected during the workout setup. A 1.5%
incline grade, which is the baseline level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running downhill. In­cline durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the distance goal is met. Two Sport Training

H

EART RATE HILL

TM

This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar­get heart rate* is calculated as 80% of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during
the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three
heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70%t of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75% of
HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80% of HRmax. The valley always is
defined as 65 percent of HRmax.

After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user
reaches 70% of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley.
Once the user's heart rate falls to 65% of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its
corresponding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and re­peats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the
heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause
mode. If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to in­crease or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed
to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

HEART RATE INTERVAL

TM

This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default
target heart rate is calculated as 80% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during
the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80% of
HRmax, and a valley which brings the heart rate down to 65% of HRmax. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the
workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes,
then the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65% of HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes,
after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the
duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical
maximum for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a heart
rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on
whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user
reaches the current goal.

EXTREME HEART RATE

TM

This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus.
The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running
sprints. The user must wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grip the LifepulseTMsensors throughout the
workout.

Note: It is recommended that users who run at speeds faster than 4.5 mph wear the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap
and do not use the Lifepulse

TM

sensors.

When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate and selects a walk speed and a jog speed. After a stan­dard three-minute warm-up, the treadmill accelerates to the jog speed, and the incline increases, until the user reaches
the target heart rate goal of 85% of the theoretical maximum

†

(HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing pe­riod. Then, the incline is reduced to 0%, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate falls to the 65%
of HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of speeds and incline
levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration.

If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or
decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new
heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

FIT TEST

The treadmill Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout estimates car­diovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp
the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calcula­tion is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes total with a one minute warm-up at 0% in­cline followed by four additional minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate
reading, calculate a fitness score and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO

2

(volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated
blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exer­cise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

• Press the FIT TEST button repeatedly until the FIT TEST option appears in the message center. Press ENTER to
select the FIT TEST option.

• The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN
ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.

• The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN
ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.

• The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the UP/DOWN ARROW
KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.

• The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER SPEED)(2-4.5 mph). Consult the following rec­ommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the
NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN SPEED ARROW KEYS to enter the corresponding level.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.

FIT TEST PROGRAM SUGGESTED EXERTION LEVELS

Inactive Active Very Active

Treadmill Fit Test Level 2-3 mph 3-4 mph 3.5-4.5 mph

3.2-4.8 kph 4.8-6.4 kph 5.6-7.2 kph

Note: Treadmill will incline to 5% after a one minute warm-up.

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the
user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.

Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used:

Lower Half of Range Upper Half of Range

higher age lower age

lower weight higher weight*

shorter taller

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range

The computer will not accept:

• heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute

• body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)

• ages below 10 or over 99 years

• data input that exceeds human potential

27

If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct informa­tion, and pressing ENTER.

It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is dependent on many
factors, including:

• amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)

• time of day

• time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)

• time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least four hours is rec­ommended)

• time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)

For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three
scores.

Note: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85%t of
the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

The tables below list fit test results.

Life Fitness developed this rating scale based on VO

max percentile distributions referenced in American College of Sports Medicine's

"Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" (8th Ed. 2010). It is designed to provide a qualitative description of a user's VO

FITNESS TESTS

The Life Fitness Treadmill features fitness tests based upon specific predefined protocols.

• ARMY PFT: 2.0 miles
The U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and car­diorespiratory fitness.

• NAVY PRT: 1.5 miles
The running portion of the U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test is a distance goal test based on the time needed to
complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.

• MARINES PFT: 3.0 miles
The U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and
cardiorespiratory fitness.

• AIR FORCE PRT: 1.5 miles
The U.S. Air Force Physical Readiness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance
and cardiorespiratory fitness.

• WFI Submax Protocol: Submaximal VO

2

The WFI Submax Protocol is a graded submax assessment used to predict a fire fighter’s aerobic capacity. This
test automatically increases speed and incline until a target heart rate is reached. This assessment replaces the
Gerkin assessment.

• PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY BATTERY: 1.5 miles
The Physical Efficiency Battery is used by U.S. Federal Law Enforcement, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of federal jobs.

Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.
To set up one of these tests, press the FIT TEST key repeatedly until the MESSAGE CENTER displays the name of the

desired test, then press ENTER. If the selected test is either the NAVY or MARINES test, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays a question as to whether or not the test is taking place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is
5,000 feet above sea level; and for the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Press 1 for YES and 2
for NO then press Enter.

At the MESSAGE CENTER prompts, enter the weight, age, gender, and desired speed, using the ARROW keys or the
NUMERIC keypad. Press ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not
change these entries once the workout begins.

For all FITNESS TESTS except WFI SUBMAX PROTOCOL, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program
goes into a cool down. The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test. For less than
five minutes, the cool down is one minute. For five to fifteen minutes, the cool down is three minutes. For longer times, the
cool down is five minutes. The user can abort the cool down by pressing the STOP button or the CLEAR key. After the
cool down is aborted or completed, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB,
Army, and Marines tests; or a qualitative score, such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.

For the WFI SUBMAX PROTOCOL, once the target heart rate has been exceeded for fifteen seconds, the program goes
into a cool down. The cool down last for three minutes at 3 mph at a 0% grade. The workout summary includes the
following information:

• The test time is displayed in the TIME window.

• The VO

2

max test score is displayed in the SPEED window.

• The recovery heart rate is displayed in the HEART RATE window.

4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

SELECTING A LEVEL

The steps for setting up a HILL, RANDOM, SPORT TRAINING 5K, and SPORT TRAINING 10K workout include select­ing a level. The word “level” refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having
the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE
window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percentage.
For example, in Level 5 the lowest incline is 0.0% and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3%, is repre­sented by a column with all seven rows lit.

In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout de­scription. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill.
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.

USING INSTAPACETMFEEDBACK

The InstaPaceTMFeedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the
treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager’s Configuration. See Section 5, titled for more information. The
MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously when the user adjusts the treadmill speed with the
ARROW KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the pace
after the treadmill reaches the new speed.

USING ZEROUTTMSPEED CONTROL

If during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW,
the speed falls to 0 mph which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 mph, unless changed in the Manager’s Config­uration. See Section 5 for more information.

6.6 HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT

Do not move the treadmill or place hands under the treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!

THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS

A 5/16-inch hex key wrench is required for this task. The Life Fitness Treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards
which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust the tracking and centering of
the striding belt (A) without removing the guards.

Note: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit
may cause striding belt misalignment. See the topic titled "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the Section 1.2,
titled Set Up, prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.

Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of
the ROLLER must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an
ideal belt tension at the pivot point.

TRACKING (CENTERING) A STRIDING BELT

Two people are needed to perform this procedure.
1 Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.
2 One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses the MANUAL workout

and sets the belt speed to 2.5 mph (4.0 kph).

3 If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and

then turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of
the roller.

If the striding belt has moved 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 make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.

4 Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for several

minutes at 4.0 mph (6.4 kph) to observe if tracking remains 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.

46

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

1. Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
Note: DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON BELT.

2. Reduce the speed to 2.0 mph (3.2 kph). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet on
the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does
not slip, the tension is correct.

3. Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.

4. Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side when
adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.

5. Enter the MANUAL workout, and operate the treadmill at 2.0 mph (3.2 kph) and check to insure proper tracking. If the
striding belt drifts to the left or right see Tracking (Centering) A Striding Belt on the previous page.

Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch and
damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.

6.7 PROACTIVE BELT WEAR NOTIFICATION

The treadmill proactively notifies the facility manager about belt wear through diagnostics. A single indicator is lit on the
treadmill console (if manager-enabled) when a belt check is required. This indicator light is located in the upper left corner
of the workout profile window.

• Automatic belt check reminder at 30,000 miles (48,000 km)

• Notification based on “Unable to Attain Target Speed” errors for specific user weights/speeds.

TO CHECK FOR NOTIFICATIONS:

To enter Belt/Deck Info, press and hold the PAUSE key and press the CLEAR key twice. Continue to hold down the
PAUSE key until the MESSAGE CENTER displays the words “SERVICE MENU”. Use the TIME UP and DOWN
arrow keys to navigate to the INFORMATION Menu. Then access the “Belt / Deck Information” submenu.

Note: Notifications are automatically cleared once they have been displayed.

6.8 HOW TO OBTAIN PRODUCT SERVICE /

SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
