ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area, and remove all packing materials except

for the plastic ties around the upper body arms. Do not dispose of the packing materials untilassembly is com-
pleted. Assembly requires your own Phillips screwdriver (_ and rubber mallet _.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt iscoated 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
treadmiU to the upright position as shown. If there are

plastic ties on the pulse sensors, remove them.

Insert one of the Extension Legs (55) into the 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) inthe same

way.

Note: To prevent damage to the Upper Body Arms (2) if
they are moved too far sideways, the lower end of each
Upper Body Arm features a breakaway connector. If one
of the Upper Body Arms breaks away, simply press the
lower end back onto the Ball Joint (109, not shown).

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 one of the Wheels (58) as you tip the

Uprights. Make sure that the Extension Legs (55) re-
main in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (55) with an Extension Screw
(35), a 1" Screw (13), and a Base Pad (44) as shown.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, 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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-

sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always

use a surge suppresser with your treadmill (see

drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-

pressor, see your local SEARS dealer or call 1-800-

366-7278 and order part number 146148.

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

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
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.

,_,d(._, ,_'%_-_1 apter Surge Suppressor

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (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. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to

use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the

treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If itshould malfunc-
tion or break down, groundingprovides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the riskof elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

Metal Screw _'_

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
propedy 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 itmust 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.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of plastic
on the face of the console, remove it.

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 ( iFIT.com CDs are
available separately). IFIT.com CD programs automati-
cally 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.

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 touc h 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 20).

Four certified personal trainer programs are also

offered. Each program automaticallycontrols 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 programs directly from the internet. Additional op-
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

details.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, see

your local SEARS or 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,
