BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill 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 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.

3. Connect the Right Power Wire Harness (57) in the indicated location. Push all of the excess wire up into the Right Upright (95). Make sure that the Wire Harness is

fully connected.

2. While a second person holds the Handrail (91) near the Uprights (95, 97), 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. If there are wire ties on the ends of the wires, remove them.

Finger tighten eight Handrail Bolts (99) into the Uprights (95, 97) and the Handrail (91). Do not tighten the

Handrail Bolts yet. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires.

Note: The CD Holder (86) and the Cup Holder (85) are replaceable. If these parts become dislodged from the Console Base (89), simply press them back into place.

Wires

1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brackets near the front of the Frame (76). Make sure that the

Uprights are on the correct sides; the indicated holes must be facing the treadmill.

Raise the Right Upright (95) until the lower hole in the front of the Upright is aligned with the upper hole in the bracket. Thread an Upright Bolt (96) into the Upright and the bracket. Do not fully tighten the Upright Bolt yet.

Repeat this step with the Left Upright (97).

HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL

Holes

6. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrenches for adjustment purposes. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

5. After the treadmill is placed in the location where it will be used (see HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 9), make sure that both Rear Feet (5) and both front Wheels (not shown) rest firmly on the floor. If the treadmill rocks even slightly, turn the right Rear Foot clockwise or counterclockwise until the rocking motion is eliminated.

4. Refer to step 1. While a second person holds the Uprights (95, 97), remove the two Upright Bolts (96).

Slide the Uprights (95, 97) fully onto the brackets on the Frame (not shown). Be careful to avoid pinching your hands or the wires. Attach each Upright with four Upright Bolts (96) as shown. Firmly tighten all eight

Upright Bolts.

Firmly tighten the eight Handrail Bolts (99).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, make sure that the power cord is unplugged.

Due to the size and weight of the treadmill, moving it requires two persons. While one person lifts

the indicated end, firmly hold the handrails and tip the treadmill forward until it rolls on the front wheels. Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location and then lower it back to the level position. Note: It may be helpful to change the incline of the treadmill to 5% before moving the treadmill. CAUTION: To re-

duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over uneven surfaces.

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 treadmill as shown in drawing 1. Attach the cord bracket over the cord with 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.

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.

NOTES

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The 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 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.

Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.

In addition, the console offers three pulse-driven programs that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill 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 the included audio cable, you can connect your portable CD player to the treadmill and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available separately). 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 personal trainers. To order iFIT.com CDs, call
