Assembly requires two persons. Set the INCLINE TRAINER in a cleared area and remove all packing materials.
Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using the
included allen wrenches.
Note: The underside of the INCLINE TRAINER 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 INCLINE TRAINER 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.
3. Connect the Right Upright Wire Harness (105), the TV
Cable (33), and the Left Upright Wire Harness (131) in
the indicated locations. Push all of the excess wire up
into the Uprights (96, 107). Make sure that all wires are
fully connected. Note: Regardless of which console
your INCLINE TRAINER has, connect all wires so that

HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER
Before moving the INCLINE TRAINER, adjust the
incline to 30% and then unplug the power cord.
Note: It may be necessary to disconnect the CATV
cable and the network wire from the INCLINE
TRAINER, depending on how far the INCLINE
TRAINER will be moved.
Due to the size and weight of the INCLINE
TRAINER, moving it requires two persons. While
one person lifts the indicated end of the INCLINE
TRAINER, firmly hold the handrails and tip the INCLINE TRAINER forward until it rolls on the front
wheels. Carefully move the INCLINE TRAINER to
the desired location and then lower it back to the
level position. Note: Another way to move the INCLINE TRAINER is to have one person stand on
each side of it, lift the frame, and move it on the rear wheels.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not
attempt to move the INCLINE TRAINER over uneven surfaces.

9. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the INCLINE TRAINER. Keep the included
allen wrenches for adjustment purposes. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the
INCLINE TRAINER.
8. After the INCLINE TRAINER is placed in the location
where it will be used (refer to HOW TO MOVE THE
INCLINE TRAINER below), make sure that both Rear
Feet (66) and both front Wheels (not shown) rest firmly

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
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 electric shock.
This product is
for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit.
No other appliance should be
on the same circuit. This product
is equipped with
a cord having an
equipmentgrounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Plug one end of the
cord into the INCLINE TRAINER as shown in drawing
1. Attach the cord bracket over the cord with the in-
cluded allen wrench and the two bracket screws.
Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle as shown in drawing 2. Do not modify the
plug or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a surge
protector, or an extension cord.
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
If your INCLINE TRAINER has the Workout TV console, a CATV cable must be connected to the IN-
CLINE TRAINER for cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack. Route the
cable so that it will
not be pinched or
crushed by the
wheels when the incline is changed.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the INCLINE TRAINER. Connect a CATV
cable from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on
the front of the INCLINE TRAINER.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the INCLINE
TRAINER. RF modulators are not available from
FreeMotion Fitness, but are available at electronics
stores. See the owner's manual for the equipment you
wish to connect to determine if an RF modulator is
needed.
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. Do not use
an adapter to connect the plug to an improper
receptacle.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the INCLINE TRAINER 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 builtin pulse sensor.
Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of
the INCLINE TRAINER to give you an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven programs that adjust the speed and incline of the INCLINE
TRAINER to keep your heart rate near target levels
during your workouts, and a unique fitness test program that measures your relative fitness level. Note:
The pulse-driven programs and the fitness test program require the use of a Polar
®
-compatible chest
pulse sensor (not included).
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right at your side. Using a male-to-male
audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can
connect your portable CD player to the INCLINE
TRAINER and play special iFIT.com CD programs
(CD’s are available separately). IFIT.com CD programs
automatically control the speed and incline of the
INCLINE TRAINER 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 personal trainers. To order
iFIT.com CD’s, call toll-free 1-877-363-8449.
