4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) 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.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
20. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
T
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with highperformance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
cone spray or other substances to the walking
i
elt or the walking platform. Such substances will
b
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 serviceman 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
installed 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
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor call the
toll-free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could result
in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill
can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 23).
In addition, the console features ten Cardio programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec
tive workout. The console also offers two Pulse programs that control the speed and incline of the treadmill
to help you keep your heart rate near target heart rate
settings. You can even create your own Record programs and save them for future use. Note: The Pulse
programs require the use of the optional chest pulse
sensor.
The console also features the new iFIT Interactive
Workout system. The iFIT system enables the console
to accept iFIT Interactive Workout Cards containing
workout programs designed to help you achieve spe
cific fitness goals.
For example, lose unwanted pounds
-
-
with the 8-week Weight Loss program, or train for a
long-distance run with the Marathon program. iFIT programs automatically control the treadmill while the
voice of a personal trainer coaches you and motivates
you through every step of your workout. One iFIT Card
with three new programs is included. Additional iFIT
Cards are available separately.
Cards at any time, call the telephone number on
the front cover of this manual.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console’s MP3 stereo sound system.
To personalize console settings, see page 12. To use
the manual mode, see page 14. To use a Cardio program, see page 16. To use a Pulse program, see
page 18.
pages 20 and 21. To use an iFIT card, see page 22.

IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of clear plastic on
the console, remove the plastic. To prevent damage
to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes
while using the treadmill. The first time you use the
treadmill, observe the alignment of the walking
belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see
page 24).
