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 walking belt 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, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

With the help of a second person, carefully raise the Uprights (69) until the treadmill is in the position shown

Insert one of the Extension Legs (102) into the treadmill as shown in the inset drawing. Make sure that the

Extension Leg is turned so the Base Pad (99) is on the bottom. (Note: It may be helpful to tip the Uprights [69]

forward as you insert the Extension Leg.)

Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same

way.

2. Press the Lock Knob Sleeve (70) into the left Upright (69).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and

cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock,

Check with a qualified electrician or service- man if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, Do not modify the plug provided with the product--if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in- stalled by a qualified electrician,

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home's power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re- sult from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos- sibility of your tread- 1 mill being damaged, always use a surge protector (not in- cluded) with your

treadmill.

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-

propriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not com- patible with GFCl-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep- tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-

let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive selection of features to help you get the most from your exercise. When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide

continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.

Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The included hand weights can be used to add upper-body exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

In addition, the console offers a fitness test program that measures your relative fitness level and a pulse- driven program that automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness test program and the pulse-driven program require

the use of an optional chest pulse sensor (see

page 24).

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology, iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD's are available sep- arately), iFIT.com CD programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides you through every step of your workout.

High-energy music provides added motivation. Each

CD features two programs designed by certified per- sonal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas- settes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an

instructor--the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. And by adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill, you can use virtually endless features from our internet site. See www.iFIT.com for complete details.

To purchase iFIT.com CD's or videocassettes or an

optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800-735-

0768.
