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.

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM 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. Such substances 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

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

Clip
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.iFtT.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 iFtT.com CD's or videocassettes or an
optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

that will help you get even more from your exercise.

A.=CAUTION: Beforeoperating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
• Always wear the cli p (see the drawing below)
while operating the treadmill.
• Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the pulse-driven program. If you are
taking medication regularly, consult your
physician to find whether the medication will
affect your exercise hart rate.
