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,

on-abrasive cleaner.

n

Assembly can be completed using the included hex keys.

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 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 Upright Wire Harness (100) in
the right Handrail down into the right Upright. Pull the
end of the Upright Wire Harness out of the lower end of
the right Upright. If there is a wire tie on the end of the
Upright 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
Wire Harness (57).

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The console offers an impressive array of features de­signed to make your workouts at home more effective.

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 display your heart rate when you use the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sen
sor (see page 21).

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 mea
sures your relative fitness level.

Note: You must wear
the optional chest pulse sensor to use a pulse-dri­ven program or the fitness test program.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the

steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset program,
see page 14. To use a pulse-driven program, see
page 15. To use the fitness test program, see page

17.

IMPORTANT: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove the plastic. To pre­vent damage to the walking platform, wear clean
athletic shoes while using the treadmill. The first

-

time the treadmill is used, observe the alignment of
the walking belt, and center the walking belt if nec­essary

(see page 23).

Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of mea­surement is selected, see page 21.

For simplicity, all

instructions in this manual refer to miles.
