are not in use.

26. Inspect and tighten all parts of the trainer reg­ularly.

27.

Assembly

Assembly requires two people. Set the incline trainer in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do
not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen
wrench and your own phillips screwdriver .

Note: The underside of the incline trainer 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 trainer 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.

Refer to the drawings below to identify the parts used in assembly.

Operation and Adjustment

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your incline trainer 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 incline trainer, 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 trainer being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your trainer (see drawing 1 at the
right).

To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-999-3756 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 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 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 incline trainer 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 revolutionary incline trainer combines state-of-the­art technology with innovate design to provide you with
a motivating and effective form of exercise in the conve­nience of your home.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
grade and speed of the trainer can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will dis­play continuous exercise feedback. You can even
track your heart rate using the optional heart rate mon­itor (for information about the optional heart rate

monitor, see page 19).

The console also offers twelve preset programs. Each
preset program automatically controls the grade and
speed of the trainer to simulate a hiking trail as it
guides you through an effective workout. Choose from
beginner, intermediate, and advanced programs.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per­sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the trainer to your home

stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special
iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available separately).
iFIT.com CD programs automatically control the grade
and speed of the trainer as a personal trainer walks you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. Each CD features two pro­grams designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the trainer to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas­settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of exercising with a class and an instruc­tor— the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the trainer connected to your computer, you can
also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com and
access audio programs and video programs directly
from the internet. And by adding an optional upgrade
module to the trainer, you can use virtually endless
features from our internet site. See www.iFIT.com for
complete details. To purchase iFIT.com CD’s or

videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768. To
order the optional upgrade module, see page 19.
