HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR

The unique headband-style pulse sensor is specially
designed for greater accuracy, comfort, and durability.

To get the best performance from the pulse sen-
sor, please read the following instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head-
band should fit snugly around your head, without being

uncomfortable.

To adjust the

headband, in-
sertthe ad-

justment tab

through one
ofthe holes

in the head-
band. Note:
Each time

ent

you exer-
cise, the headband may expand slightly during the
first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to
readjust the headband periodically.

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put

on the headband as shown below, with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there

isno hair between the sensor window and your fore-

head. Attach the clothes clip to your collar. The clothes
clip will reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire,
helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

Clothes

/

IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-up that may

damage the console, wear the pulse sensor only
while you are on the treadmill.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS

The instructions on page 12 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see PULSE

DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow-

ing important guidelines:

1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
briefly to stimulate circulation.

2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without
being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or

too tight, your pulse may not be detected.

3. The headband must be wom with the sensor win-

dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that
there is no hair between the sensor window and

your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead

: may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse

sensor does not detect your pulse when the sensor
window is centered on your forehead, try positioning
the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow.

Depending on the shape of your forehead, itmay be
easier to detect your pulsefrom a different position.

4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully
plugged intothe jack on the console.

S.

Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds.
When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take
up toten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.

8. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.

7. The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab

with water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.

HOW TO SOLVE COMMON PULSE PROBLEMS

1. If you are wearing the pulse sensor and the NO
PULSE DETECTED indicator lights, refer to guide-
lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above.

2. If the pulse shown in the PULSE display seems ex-
cessively high or low, refer to guideline 5.

3. Iferror code "E5" appears in the PULSE display,

refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

4. If the letters "PLS" appear in the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

CLEANING THE PULSE SENSOR AND HEADBAND

Remove the headband from the pulse sensor. Wipe

the pulse sensor with a damp cloth; never immerse

the pulse sensor in water. Hand wash the headband
in mild detergent, gently wring it out, and let it air dry.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.

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 re-

suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread- 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-

cluded) with your
treadmill.

Surge prote_:tors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,

rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five

feet or less in length.

This product must be
grounded. If it should

malfunction or break

down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-

rent to reduce the risk of

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug the surge protector Into an ap-
propriate outlet that Is properly Installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

This product isfor use on a nominal 12g-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated 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 recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 ifa propedy grounded out-

let 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. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember_these are general guide-
lines. For more detailed information about exercise,
obtain a reputable book or consultyour physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether you want to bum fat, strengthen your cardio-
vascular system, or increase your athletic perfor-
mance, you can tailor your exercise to your specific
goals. The key to achieving the desired results isto ex-
emise with the proper intensity.

Burning Fat

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 carbohydrate calories for en-

ergy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does

your body begin to use stored fatcaloriesfor energy.

Ifyour goal isto bum fat, adjust the speed and incline

of the treadmill until the FAT BURN indicator is lit. (See

TRAINING ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

Aerobic Exercise

Ifyour goal isto strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, your exemise 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. The proper intensity
level for aerobic exercise can be found by using your
pulse as a guide. As you exercise, your pulse should
be kept at a level between 70% and 85% of your maxi-
mum possible heart rate. This is known as your train-
ing zone. You can find your training zone in the table
at the top of this page. Training zones are listed ac-
cording to age and physical condition.

During the first few months of your exercise program,

Training Zone (Beats/Min.)

Age Unconditioned Conditioned

20 138-167 133-162
25 136-166 132-160
30 135-164 130-158
35 134-162 129-156
40 132-161 127-155
45 131-159 125-153

50 129-156 124-150

75 122-147 117-142

80 120-146 115-140
85 116-144 114-139

keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone
as you exercise. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, your pulse can be gradually increased until it is
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
You can measure your pulse using the pulse sensor.

Exercise for about four minutes, and then measure

your pulse immediately. If your pulse is too high or too
low, adjust the intensity of your exercise. It may also
be helpful to adjust the speed and incline of the tread-
mill until the AEROBIC indicator is lit. (See TRAINING
ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

Performance Training

If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,

adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until the

PERFORMANCE indicator is lit. (See TRAINING

ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include three pads: (1) a warm-
up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.

Warm-up ""_

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-
ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles
and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout

with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to

warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 23).

Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-
cise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to
60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise 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.

CooFdown

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your

muscles and willhelp to prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-

plete up to five workouts each week if desired.

The key tosuccess is to make exercise a regular and

enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the

drawings below. Move slowly as you stretch-never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend to_ward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,
back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended

leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your
back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and
move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further stretching of the
achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:
Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quedriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and

grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close

to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip

muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold
for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches:
Quadriceps and hip muscles.
