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 hex keys and your own phillips screwdriver and wire
cutters .
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on pages 30 and 31. The number after the parentheses shows
the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is preattached to
one of the parts to be assembled.

Next, wrap the
chest pulse sensor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under
your clothes, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing
forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.

essary, draining the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below -10° C
(14° F).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within arm’s length of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical condi
tions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

HOW TO USE
PULSE PROGRAMS
CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse programs. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.

You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program. See the instructions on page 9.
Insert the key fully into the console.
2
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a pulse program.
3
When the key is inserted,
the manual mode will be
selected. To select a
pulse program, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly until a “P 1,”
“P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” appears in the Distance/
Incline display.
The diagrams numbered 1 through 4 on the left
side of the console show how the target heart rate
will change during the programs. During pulse
program 1, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heartrate; during pulse programs 2 and 3, your heart
rate will reach approximately 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate; during pulse program
4, your heart rate will remain near a level that you
.
select
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de
termined by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190).
During pulse programs,
the matrix will show a
moving graphic that rep
resents your heart rate.
Each time a heartbeat is
detected, an additional
peak will appear.
Enter your age.

When a pulse program
is selected, the word
“AGE” and the current
age setting will flash in
the Calories/Pulse display. If you have already
entered your age, simply
press the Enter button. If you have not entered
your age, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the
Enter button.
Enter a target heart rate.

If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, go to
step 6. If pulse program 4 is selected, follow
the instructions below.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“PLS” and the target
heart rate setting for the
program will flash in the
Calories/Pulse display. If
desired, press the + and
– buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the target heart rate setting. When the desired setting is
shown, press the Enter button.
Enter a maximum speed.

Pulse display. If desired,
press the + and – buttons beside the Enter
button to adjust the maximum speed setting.
When the desired setting is shown, press the
Enter button.
16
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
7
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
-
Each pulse program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If pulse
program 4 is selected, the same target heart rate
is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 6 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
will stay the same until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individu
als over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.
Various factors, including your movement,
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
The sensors are intended only as exercise aids
in determining heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
-
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 the lowest number in
your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.
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.
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
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your “train
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few
weeks of your exercise 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.
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent postexercise 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.
