ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials untilassembly is completed. Assembly requires your own Phillips screw-

driver _ and rubber mallet c_:_,

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 as shown.

Insert one of the Extension Legs (55) intothe treadmill as
shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so

the Base Pad (44) is on the bottom. If necessary, tip the

Uprights (64) forward as you insert the Extension Leg.

Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same

way.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
Uprights (64) as shown. Note: It may be helpful to place

your foot on a Wheel (58) as you tip the Uprights. Make

sure that the Extension Legs (55) remain in the
Uprights,

Attach each Extension Leg (55) with two Extension
Screws (35) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (44) may be included.
If a Base Pad becomes worn and needs to be replaced,

use the replacement Base Pad.

4. Turn the Handrail Extension (34) so that the two larger

holes are on the bottom as shown. Insert the Handrail
Extension as far as possible intothe post on the left

Upright (64). If necessary, tap the Handrail Extension with
a rubber mallet to fully insert it. Next, attach the Handrail
Extension by tightening three Extension Screws (35) into

the indicated holes.

Identify the Left Foam Grip (31) (see the inset drawing).
Remove the paper from the two indicated pieces of Foam
Tape (82). Apply a small amount of water to the pieces of

Foam Tape. Slide the Left Foam Grip as far as possible
onto the post on the left Updght (64). Note: It may be
helpful to lubricate the Handrail Extension (34) with
soapy water. Press two Plastic Fasteners (9) into the
Foam Grip and the Handrail Extension (34). If necessary,
use a blunt object to press in the Fasteners.

Attach the other Handrail Extension (not shown) and the
Right Foam Grip (43) as described above. Note: Make
sure that the Extension Screws (35) are attached on the
outside of the post as shown.

5. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a

secure place; the allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 24). To protect the floor or carpet

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE", a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

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
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right),

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-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 suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

Adapter

To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
SEARS or call toll-free 1-800-366-7278 and order

part number 146148. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage

surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or

less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

Metal Screw

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-
stalled 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.

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

sonal 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 (one free iFIT.com CD is
included; others 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 de-

signed by certified personal trainers.

Program Profiles

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced 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
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even

measure your head rate using the built-in handgrip
pulse sensor. Note: See page 20 for information about

an optional chest pulse sensor.

Four certified personal trainer programs are also
offered. Each program automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also fea-
tured. Each program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level

during your workouts.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes 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 Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-

cess basic programs, audio programs, and video pro-
grams directly from the internet. Additional options,
such as on-line competitions, personal training sessions

via the internet, and online tracking of your workout
history are soon to be available. See www iFIT.com for

details.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-
free 1-800-735 0768.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a personal trainer

program, see page 12. To use a heart rate program,
see page 13. To use an iFIT.com CD or video pro-

gram, refer to page 17. To use an iFIT.com program
