t
quately informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the Incline Trainer only as described.
3. Place the Incline Trainer on a level surface,
with at least eight feet of clearance behind it
and two feet on each side. 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 put 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. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the Incline Trainer at all times.
7. The Incline Trainer should not be used by persons weighing more than 300 pounds.
8. Never allow more than one person on the
Incline Trainer at a time.
9. 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

ried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
d
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
ssary, draining the battery prematurely.
e
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
o not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
D
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

Next, wrap the
chest pulse sensor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the Incline Trainer, position
your- self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.
The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
•
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
-
CHEST PULSE SENSOR
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
•
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the Incline Trainer.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 32).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
T
The Incline Trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
pply silicone spray or other substances to the
a
alking belt or the walking platform. Such sub-
w
stances will 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.
The Incline Trainer, 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
the Incline Trainer being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with the Incline Trainer (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call
the toll-free telephone number on the front cover
of this manual and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
utlet that is properly installed and grounded in
o
ccordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The Incline Trainer is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

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 Incline Trainer. 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.
