IMPORTANT

P RECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the INCLINE TRAINER.

1.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the INCLINE TRAINER are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

2.Use the INCLINE TRAINER only as described in this manual.

3.Place the INCLINE TRAINER on a level surface, with at least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place the INCLINE TRAINER on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the INCLINE TRAINER.

4.Keep the INCLINE TRAINER indoors, away

from moisture and dust. Do not place the INCLINE TRAINER in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5.Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

6.Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER until it is properly assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE INCLINE TRAINER on page 7).

7.Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the INCLINE TRAINER.

8.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the INCLINE TRAINER at all times.

9.The INCLINE TRAINER should not be used by

persons weighing more than 350 pounds.

10.Never allow more than one person on the INCLINE TRAINER at a time.

11.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not wear loose clothes that could become caught in the INCLINE TRAINER. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and

women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the INCLINE TRAINER with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

12.When connecting the power cord (see page 10), plug the power cord into a grounded circuit

capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not

use an extension cord.

13.Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.

14.Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the INCLINE TRAINER if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the INCLINE TRAINER is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the INCLINE TRAINER is not working properly.)

15.Never start the INCLINE TRAINER while you

are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the INCLINE

TRAINER.

16.The INCLINE TRAINER is capable of high speeds. Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

17.The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

18.Never leave the INCLINE TRAINER unat-

tended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit breaker to the off position when the INCLINE TRAINER is not in use.

19.Do not change the incline of the INCLINE TRAINER by placing objects under it.

20.When using iFIT.com CD’s, you will be alerted by an electronic “chirping” sound when the speed and/or incline of the INCLINE TRAINER

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.

3

21.When using iFIT.com CD’s, you can manually override the speed and incline settings at any time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE buttons. However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will change to the next settings of the CD program.

22.Always remove iFIT.com CD’s from your CD player when you are not using them.

23.Never insert or drop any object into any opening.

24.Make sure to perform all maintenance procedures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so will void the warranty and may result in damage to the INCLINE TRAINER.

25. DANGER: Always unplug the power cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the INCLINE TRAINER, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures described in this manual. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

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.

1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (96, 107) onto the
brackets near the front of the Base Frame (52).		Make
sure that the Uprights are on the correct sides; the
indicated holes must be facing the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Raise the Left Upright (107) until the lower hole in the
front of the Upright is aligned with the upper hole in the
bracket as shown. Thread an Upright Bolt (106) into the
Upright and the bracket.	Do not fully tighten the
Upright Bolt yet.

Repeat this step with the Right Upright (96).

2.While a second person holds the Handrail (94) near the Uprights (96, 107), feed the wires in both sides of the Handrail down into the Uprights. Pull the ends of the wires out of the lower ends of the Uprights and remove

the wire ties from the ends of the wires.

Finger tighten four Handrail Bolts (93) into the Handrail

(94) and the Uprights (96, 107) as shown. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires in the Handrail.

Note: The CD Holder (143) and the Cup Holder (10) are replaceable. If these parts become dislodged from the

Console (89), simply press them back into place.

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
the console can later be upgraded if desired.
Refer to step 1. While a second person holds the
Uprights (96, 107), remove the Upright Bolts (106). Slide
the Uprights fully onto the Base Frame (52).		Be careful
to avoid pinching your hands or the wires.

INCLINE

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.

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.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

If your INCLINE TRAINER has the Workout TV console, a CATV cable must be connected to the INCLINE 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.

Cable Jack

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.
