It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
1.
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 135 kg (300 lbs.).
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),
plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No
other appliance should be on the same circuit.
When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved
BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used.
11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3conductor, 1mm
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
12. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)
14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
16. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart
rate trends in general.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
FOLD
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 26.) You
must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
19.
placing objects under the treadmill.
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.

ASSEMBLY
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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. Assembly requires the included allen wrench
and your own flat-bladed screwdriver , wire cutters , and adjustable
wrench .
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 treadmill 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 or foot pads,
simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

WARNING: Do not plug in the power
cord until the treadmill is completely assembled.
Slide the treadmill out of the box. Insert the three Cage
1.
Nuts (96) into the three indicated holes in the treadmill.
To insert each Cage Nut (96), first hook one side of the
Cage Nut into the hole and then use a flat-bladed screwdriver to press the other side into the hole, as shown.
2. With the help of a second person, carefully raise both
Uprights (99) to a vertical position. Press the Latch Knob
Sleeve (111) into the left Upright and hold the Latch Knob
Spacer (112) against the left Upright.
Remove the Latch Knob (113) from the Latch Pin (107).
Make sure that the Latch Pin Collar (109) and the Latch
Pin Spring (110) are on the Latch Pin. (Note: If there are
two Latch Pin Collars, place one on each side of the
Spring.) Insert the Latch Pin into the Latch Knob Sleeve
(111) and the Left Upright (99).
Tighten the Latch Knob (113) onto the Latch Pin (107).
3. With the help of a second person, raise the Walking
Platform (24) to the storage position and make sure that
the latch pin is engaged as described on page 26.
Position the Base Plate (91) on the treadmill as shown.
Attach the Base Plate with the three Base Plate Screws
(92). Note: It may be helpful if a second person tips the
treadmill slightly as you tighten the Screws.

WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individu
als over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensors are intended
only as exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
carbohydrate calories for en-
-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never
hold your breath.
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex
ercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.
