ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires your own Phillips screwdriver and rubber mallet .

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.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the treadmill to the upright position as shown.

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) in the same way.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the Uprights (64) down as shown. Note: It may be helpful to place your foot on the Wheel (58) as you tip the Uprights.

Make sure that the Extension Legs (55) remain in the Uprights.

Attach each Extension Leg (55) with two Extension Screws (35) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (44) may be included. If a Base Pad becomes worn and needs to be replaced, use the replacement Base Pad.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, 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 1-800-999-3756 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 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 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 touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor. Note: See page 20 for information about an optional chest pulse sensor.

Four certified personal trainer programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. Two heart rate programs are also featured. Each program controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workouts.

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 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 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. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill 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 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 access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. Additional options, such as on-line competitions, personal training sessions via the internet, and online tracking of your workout history are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.
