Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
16. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)
17. 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 23.)
You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.)

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, 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 hex keys and your own phillips screwdriver ,wire cutters , and adjustable spanner .
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.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deterio-
ate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug.
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill.
See drawing 2. Press the pins on the other end of the power cord
into the indicated metal clips in the adaptor. Close the adaptor cover
over the end of the power cord and tighten the screw in the adaptor.
Important: Make sure that the adaptor cover is secure and that
the screw has been tightened before using the power cord.
See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic
on the face of the console, remove it.
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective.
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 built-in handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see
page 22).
In addition, the console features eight preset programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also offers two pulse programs that control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate during your workouts. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse
sensor to use the pulse programs.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

you can connect the treadmill to your portable stereo,
home stereo, computer, or VCR and play special
iFIT.com MP3, CD, and video programs (iFIT.com MP3
programs, CDs, and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com programs automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer
guides you through every step of your workout; highenergy music provides added motivation. To down-
load iFIT.com MP3 programs, go to www.iFIT.com.

During both pulse programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target
heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far
below or above the target heart rate setting, the
speed of the walking belt will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer
to the target heart rate setting. If the speed of the
walking belt reaches 12 km/h and your heart rate
is still too far below the target heart rate setting,
the incline of the treadmill will also increase.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons.

Pulse program 9 is divided into 100 one-minute

programmed for all segments. (Note: For a shorter
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.)
Pulse program 10 is divided into 30 one-minute
segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two
or more consecutive segments.
If pulse program 10 is selected, the target heart

If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the left display and the

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
ian. This is especially important for individu-
c
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-
xisting health problems.
e
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.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired
results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The
proper intensity level can be found by using your heart
rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended
heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
begin to use stored
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-
ill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
m
your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on
the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
fat calories
for energy. If your goal
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
carbohydrate calories
for en-
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never
hold your breath.
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.
