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. Assembly can be completed using the included
hex keys.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

mall amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal

s
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.

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

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

Raise the Right Upright (95) until the lower hole in the
front of the Right Upright is aligned with the upper hole in
the bracket on the Frame (76). Finger tighten an Upright
Bolt (96) into the Right Upright and the bracket. Do not

tighten the Upright Bolt yet.

Repeat this step with the Left Upright (97).

2. While a second person holds the Handrail (91) near the
Uprights (95, 97), feed the Power Wire Harness (57) in
the right Handrail down into the right Upright. Pull the
end of the Power Wire Harness out of the lower end of
the right Upright. If there is a wire tie on the end of the
Power Wire Harness, remove it. Then, set the Handrail
on the Uprights.

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
Power Wire Harness (57).

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

H

he chest pulse sensor consists of two components—

T
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw­ing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle
on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the
front of the sensor unit.

ach use, it may remain activated longer than nec-

e
essary, draining the battery prematurely.

• 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).

• 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.

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.

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, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, 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 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 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
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

• 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 treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery in the chest pulse sensor may
need to be replaced (see page 25).

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. The console
will also show your heart rate when you use the hand­grip pulse sensor or the chest 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 pro
grams 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.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

-

sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal
trainer guides you through every step of your workout.
