OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
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. They 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 protector (not in­cluded) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a CUL­listed 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 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
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap­propriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 protector 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.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex­ercise program. Remember—these are general guide­lines only.
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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age on the left side of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to the right of your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recom­mended heart rates for fat burning; the higher 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 carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near one of the lower two numbers in your training zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed
control on the console to FAT BURN to help you main­tain the proper intensity level. (See page 10.)
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 and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on the console to AEROBIC to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See page 10.)
High Performance Athletic Conditioning
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning, set the speed control on the console to PERFOR­MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See page 10.) Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heart­beat count, and multiply the result by ten to find your heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
A well-rounded workout includes the following three important parts:
A Warm-up
Start each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching and light exercise (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 14). A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
WARNING:Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for in­dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer­cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer­cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your train­ing zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—do not hold your breath.
A Cool-down
Finish each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help 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 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.
13
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward 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 each leg. 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 each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles.
4. Quadriceps 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.

HOW TO LOWER THE BENCH FOR USE
To use the bench, the treadmill must be folded to the storage position. See HOW TO FOLD THE TREAD­MILL TO THE STORAGE POSITION on page 11.
Hold the end of the bench as shown—do not hold the leg. Using your right hand, slide the bench knob to the right as far as possible. Make
sure that the knob is moved all of the way to the “bench” position. Note:
It may be nec­essary to push on the leg while you slide the knob to the “bench” position. Lower the bench until the leg is rest­ing on the floor.
HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST
The backrest can be used in a level position or in either of two inclined positions. When the bench is first lowered, the backrest will be in the level position. To adjust the backrest to one of the inclined positions, first raise the backrest and lower the support (see the draw­ing below). Rest the end of the support against either
of the backrest stops as shown. Make sure that the
support is resting against one of the backrest stops.
To adjust the backrest to the level position, first raise the backrest slightly. Pivot the end of the support in the
direction shown by the arrow. Lower
the backrest onto the bench frame.
HOW TO FOLD THE BENCH TO THE STORAGE POSITION
Raise the bench to the vertical posi­tion and hold it in place. Using your right hand, slide the bench knob to the left as far as possible.
Make sure that the knob is moved all of the way to the “tread­mill” position.

The CROSSTRAINER offers a variety of exercises designed to trim, tone, and strengthen the body.
Please read these guidelines before using the weight bench. WARNING: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
Your strength training program should include three workouts each week. To give your body time to rest, workouts should be on alternating days, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise, plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for many, and the self­discipline required to rise early and exercise may result in greater productivity throughout the day. For others, exercising before dinner offers a chance to wind down from the day’s activities. Whatever time you choose, be consistent and stick with it.
Each workout should include three important parts: (1) a warm-up, (2) 6 to 10 exercises, and (3) a cool­down.
Warming Up
Begin each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 14). Stretching prepares the body for exercise by increas­ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature.
Exercises
Next, perform 6 to 10 of the exercises shown on the exercise chart on the CROSSTRAINER. To give bal-
ance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from workout to workout.
Begin with 1 set of 12 repetitions for each exercise that you do. (A “repetition” is one cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions per­formed without pausing.) As your fitness level in­creases, perform 2 sets of 12 repetitions for each exer­cise that you do. When you are ready for an advanced workout, try 3 sets of 12 repetitions. Always rest for at least 1 minute after each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, you may choose to use heavier weights. CAUTION: The
CROSSTRAINER includes three pairs of hand weights. Do not use any other weights with the CROSSTRAINER.
Cooling Down
Finish each workout with 5 to 8 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase your flexibility, and will help to reduce post-exercise soreness.
Be careful to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program—it is important to progress at your own pace. CAUTION: If you feel
pain or dizziness at any time, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
EXERCISE FORM
For the best results, correct form is important. The ex­ercise chart on the CROSSTRAINER shows the cor­rect form for twenty different exercises. Try to move through the full range of motion for each exercise and move only the appropriate parts of the body. Perform each exercise with a smooth, steady motion. Exhale as you exert yourself, and inhale as you return to the starting position; never hold your breath.
STAYING MOTIVATED
To stay motivated, try listening to music or watching television while you exercise. It may also be helpful to work out with a partner. Use a calendar to keep a record of your workouts, and write key body measure­ments at the end of every month. Remember, the key to lasting results is to make exercise a regular and en­joyable part of your daily life.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE WEIGHT BENCH

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that ap­plies to your treadmill and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-888-936-4266, Monday through Friday, 8h00 until 18h00 Eastern Time (excluding holidays).
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is
plugged into a properly grounded outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page
8.) Use only a CUL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the con-
sole. See step 1 on page 10.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill
frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
PROBLEM: The power turns off during use SOLUTION: a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see the drawing
above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in. b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. See step 1 on page 10. d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our Customer Service Department, toll-free.
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly SOLUTION: a. Check the batteries in the console. See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 9. Most problems are
the result of drained batteries. b. Remove the six screws from the hood. Carefully re-
move the hood. Locate the Reed Switch (45) and the
Magnet (44) on the left side of the Pulley (49). Turn
the Pulley until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed
Switch. Make sure that the gap between the
Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8”. If nec-
essary, loosen the Screw (53) and move the Reed
Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the
hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check
for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt has shifted to the left, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the
allen wrench, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt clock-
wise, and the right bolt counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn
each. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug
in the power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for
a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt has shifted to the right, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the
allen wrench, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt
counterclockwise, and the right bolt clockwise, 1/4 of a
turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt.
Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the tread-
mill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is
centred. c. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the
allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. The centre
of the walking belt should just touch the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in the
power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on SOLUTION: a. Use only a CUL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less
in length. b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be
permanently damaged. Remove the key and UN-
PLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench,
turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. The
centre of the walking belt should just touch the walk-
ing platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt cen-
tred. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run
the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is properly tightened. c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our Customer Service Department toll-free.

HOW TO MOVE THE CROSSTRAINER
Before moving the CROSSTRAINER, make sure that the bench and treadmill are folded to the storage position, and that the lock pins are fully engaged (see HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL TO THE STOR­AGE POSITION on page 11, and HOW TO FOLD THE BENCH TO THE STORAGE POSITION on page 15).
To move the CROSSTRAINER, first hold the handrails and place one foot on the base as shown.
Next, tilt the CROSSTRAINER back until it rolls freely on the front wheels. Carefully move the CROSSTRAINER to the desired location. Place one foot on the base, and carefully lower the CROSSTRAINER until it is resting on the base. Never move the CROSSTRAINER without
tipping it back, or the base pads may come off. To re­duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the CROSSTRAINER. Do not move the CROSSTRAINER over an uneven surface.
