25. When using iFit.com CDÕs and videos, an
electronic ÒchirpingÓ sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
ÒchirpÓ 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.

26. When using iFit.com CDÕs and videos, you
can manually override the speed and incline
settings by pressing the speed and incline
buttons. However, when the next ÒchirpÓ is
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to
the next settings of the CD or video program.

27. Always remove iFit.com CDÕs and videos from
your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.

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

29. 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

other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.

please call our Customer Service Department toll-free

at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m.

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, 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 homeÕs 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 UL­listed 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 productÑif 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 make your workouts more effective. When
the console is in the manual mode, the speed and
incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of
a button. As you exercise, the LED displays will provide
continuous exercise feedback.

The console also offers eight preset workout programsÑ
four programs that focus on fat-burning and four pro­grams that target aerobic conditioning. Each program
automatically controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
You can even create your own custom workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.

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 (CDÕs 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
instructorÑthe hottest new trend at health clubs.

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

iFit.com CDÕs or videocassettes or an optional
iFit.com module, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

The console is also compatible with an optional heart
rate monitor that continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase an optional heart

rate monitor, refer to page 17.
