WARNING:To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill
on any surface that blocks air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or oxygen is administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women. Always wear ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

10.Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806­3651 and order part number 146148.

11.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 unexpectedly, which may result
in a fall and serious injury.

12.Keep the power cord and the surge suppres­sor away from heated surfaces.

13.Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread­mill is not working properly.)

14.Never start the treadmill while you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

15.The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

16.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.

17.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for
the location of the circuit breaker.)

18.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 24.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19.When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

20.When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in­cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per­sonal trainer describes the change.

21.When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can
manually override the speed and incline set­tings at any time by pressing the speed and in­cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change
to the next settings of the CD or video program.

22.Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.

23.Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill every three months.

24.Never drop or insert any object into any open­ing.

25.

DANGER:Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main­tenance and adjustment procedures de­scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.

26.The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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,
non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires the included allen wrenches and your own phillips screwdriver ,,
and wire cutters .

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.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (109) to the position shown.

Insert one of the Extension Legs (128) into the treadmill
as shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so
the Base Pad (100) is beneath it. Note: It may be helpful
to tip the Uprights (109) forward as you insert the
Extension Leg.

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

Attach a Wheel (108) to each Wheel Housing (106) (only

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING 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 plat­form. 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). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651
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. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi­cate 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 unexpect­edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

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 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 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 illus­trated 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.

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 elec­trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER:Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.

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 instant exercise feedback. You can even mea­sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23).

In addition, the console offers six preset programs. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill as it guides you through an effective work­out. Two heart rate programs are also offered. Each
program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate while you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per­sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio

cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video 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. To

purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll­free 1-800-735-0768.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac­cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op­tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

more information.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the

steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset program,
