dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench
and your own phillips screwdriver .

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.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side
and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (102) into
the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension
Leg is turned so the Base Pad (99) is on the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the
other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower
the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs
(102) are resting flat on the floor.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
treadmill frame and then tip the Uprights (69) down as
shown. Make sure that the Extension Legs (102) re-

main in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (102) with two Screws (80) as
shown.

With the help of a second person, carefully tip the
Uprights (69) back to the vertical position.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (99) may be included.

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.

Your treadmill, 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 your tread­mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in­cluded) with your
treadmill.

protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap­propriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

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 protector to a 2-pole recep­tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out­let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw.

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec­trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, 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.

Three preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. You
can even create your own custom workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.

The console also features new iFit.com interactive tech­nology. IFit.com technology is like having a personal
trainer right in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFit.com CD programs (CD’s 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.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFit.com video programs (videocas­settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFit.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFit.com
and access basic programs, audio programs, and
video programs directly from the internet. And by
adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill,
you can use virtually endless features from our internet
site. See www.iFit.com for complete details.
