This Operation Manual describes the functions of the following products:

Life Fitness Treadmills:

Platinum Club Series Treadmill

See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving sur­face.

Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONG­LY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par­ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or
smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she
must stop immediately.

Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life
Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de
commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hy­pertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a
pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés
à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

1GETTING STARTED

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the treadmill.

OPERATION

• Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.

• Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.

• Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.

• Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are
recommended.

• Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use
shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.

• Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.

• Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.

• Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional sta­bility is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side plat­forms.

• Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.

• The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the
user. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW key presses.
To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined time period
(i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only PRESSED events
are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence then, the sequence is rejected). Once the
Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the registry, and then
issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

D. USB: Allows the user to access previously saved workout setup data bypassing the workout setup procedure and

immediately entering a workout.

E. SCREEN LOCK/UNLOCK: (Cannot be used during a workout.) Freezes the screen for the purpose of routine main-

tenance/screen cleaning. The screen automatically unlocks after ten seconds. Pressing SCREEN LOCK a second
time will unlock it as well.

F. LANGUAGE SELECTION: Allows users to change the language of the interface to one of thirteen possible lan-

guages. Select the appropriate language flag from the bottom of the screen.

G. MORE LANGUAGES: select this button to see additional language flags.

See Section 5.2, Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 1, Language, for language setup details.

3) WORKOUT SETUP

Workouts are accessed through the WORKOUT SELECTION button. Workouts are located under one of four workout cate­gories: CLASSIC, HILL +, HEART RATE and ADVANCED. Workouts are listed to the right of each category label. Advancing
through the categories will show individual workout descriptions.

WORKOUT SETUP screens are accessed upon selection of a workout program button. They allow the user to enter values or
to choose a goal for the workout selected. These depend on the workout, but might include goal type (time, distance and calo­ries), level, age, weight, distance, speed, incline, and target heart rate

* (for heart rate programs).

H. DATA DISPLAY: Displays the data input value.
I. ARROW BUTTONS: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust workout values/goals such as length of workout,

weight, age, incline, speed, distance, target heart rate, and intensity level. Press ENTER to record the selection.

J. NUMERIC KEYPAD:Another way for the user to enter workout parameters. Key in the desired number on the key-

pad and press ENTER.

K. CLEAR: Clears any entry and returns to the default setting.
L. ENTER: Press this button after entering a value to register the value and move to the next screen.
M. GOALTYPE: Select a desired workout goal type. Choose from Time, Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed,

Time in Zone or Marathon Mode (if enabled).

N. BACK: Returns to the previous screen.
O. START OVER: Exits workout setup and returns to the Home Screen.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This
workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS

GOAL SETUP SCREENS

• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predeter-

mined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only

available for heart rate programs).

For Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it
takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from
the bottom of the display to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a
different program. For more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.

For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer.
For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1, Heart Rate Zone Training, Why Heart Rate Zone Training

Exercise.

• Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 20.

• Incline: Choose the amount of incline on the treadmill.

• Speed: Use to set the striding belt speed of the treadmill.

• Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat

Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum†heart rate. For Cardio, the target
heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone
Training Exercise.

VALUE SETUP SCREENS

• Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be calculated, and enables Calories Burned and Calories

per Hour.

• Age: Allows heart rate programs to accurately determine target heart rate.

• Gender: Used in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.

4) WORKOUT PROGRESS

The Workout Progress screen opens automatically upon completion of the setup, signaling the user to start the workout. This
screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the workout. It provides a visual representation of the workout as it proceeds
and monitors distance, pace, elapsed time, heart rate, incline, speed, and calories expended/calories per hour.

From the Workout Progress Screen, goals including Time, Incline, Speed and Target Heart Rate* (for heart rate programs) can
be changed at any point during the workout. This screen also accesses TV viewing. Not every goal item is available in every
workout. Only valid goal times are shown and accessible in the workout progress screen during a workout.

†

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

Press the COOL DOWN key to enter the cool down stage at any point during the workout. Each workout’s cool
down level is automatically adjusted according to the individual user’s performance. (Cool down times are preset in

Cal/Hr has a button beneath the display which give added functionality. This button can be used to lock the display
or to force the display to toggle. To lock the display, (for instance, turn off the toggle so only calories burned is dis­played) simply press the button once while the desired setting is displayed. To toggle press the button twice in suc­cession.

Changeable information either appears as a button (Time, Level, Incline, Target Heart Rate*, and Speed) or is
accessible through CHANGE WORKOUT.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.
