IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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

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

2.Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3.Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at least eight feet of clearance behind it, two feet on each side, and six inches in front. 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.

4.Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5.Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or oxygen is administered.

6.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

7.The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 350 pounds. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

8.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9.When connecting the power cord (see page 11), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor (not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

10.Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call the tollfree telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order part number 146148, or see your local electronics store.

11.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.

12.Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

13.Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 27 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

14.Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedure before using the treadmill (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13).

15.Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

16.The treadmill 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 treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)

19.Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 25.) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

20.When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

3

21.Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.

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

23.DANGER: Always unplug the power cord immediately after use, before cleaning the treadmill, and before performing the maintenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative only.

24.The treadmill is intended for in-home use only. Do not use the treadmill in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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

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. 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.

Assembly requires the included allen wrench

and your own phillips screwdriver

.

For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags, check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

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 24).

In addition, the console features twelve Cardio programs and three Calorie programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout. You can even create your own Record programs and save them for future use. The console also offers four Pulse programs that control the speed and incline of the treadmill to help you keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings. Note: The Pulse programs require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.

The console also features the new iFIT SD system. The iFIT SD system enables the console to accept iFIT

Cards containing workout programs designed to help you achieve specific 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. To purchase iFIT Cards at any time, go to www.iFIT.com or call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual. iFIT Cards are also available at select stores.

To turn on the power, follow the steps on page 13. To personalize console settings, see page 13. To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a Cardio program, see page 17. To use a Calorie program, see page 18. To create and use a Record program, see pages 19 and 20. To use a Pulse program, see page 21. To use an iFIT card, see page 23.
