WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:

1. Use 120 volt a.c. household current on a dedicated circuit.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. See diagram below for grounding methods.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

3. The use of an extension cord with this product is not recommended. If an extension cord is needed, use a short (less than 10 feet) heavy gauge (14 gauge or better) extension cord with a three prong (grounded) plug and receptacle.

4. Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in. Remove the safety key and unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before removing or replacing parts.

5. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to water. Never move the treadmill belt while the power is turned off.

6. Do not pull the treadmill by the power supply cord or use cord as a handle. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and open flames.

7. Fitness equipment must always be installed and used on a flat surface. Do not use outdoors or near water. Do not place the unit on a loose rug or uneven surface. It is recommended to use an equipment mat to prevent the unit from moving while it is being used, which could possibly scratch or damage the surface of your floor. It is recommended to have a minimum of 3 metres safe clearance on all sides of the treadmill while in use.

8. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage, covered patio or near water.

9. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

10. Read, understand and test the emergency stop procedure before using the treadmill (see operation and adjustment on page

21. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at once.

22. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward. This allows your heart rate to gradually increase and decrease and will help prevent straining muscles.

23. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the level of exercise being performed.

24. Start your program slowly and very gradually increase your speed and distance.

25. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear while exercising. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become entangled with the moving parts of your treadmill. Do not walk or jog barefoot, in stocking feet or loose fitting shoes or slippers.

CLEANING

Care has been taken to assure that your treadmill has been properly adjusted and lubricated at the factory. It is not recommended that the user attempt service on the internal components instead seek service from an authorized service center. However, from time-to-time the outer surfaces may appear dull or dirty, following the instructions listed below will restore and preserve the original finish.

Note: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or shock.

1. Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a

light application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the walking or computer surface.

2. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones or any other compounds on

the rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious injury to the body and/or deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the rubberized walking surface with a damp cloth (water only).

3. From time-to-time the computer surface may collect dust or finger prints. The use of harsh

chemicals will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with specially prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores especially made for anti-static surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

TREADMILL LUBRICATION

Your treadmill should require little maintenance other then periodically applying lubricant. Lubricating under the treadbelt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy.

HOW TO CHECK TREADBELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the treadbelt and feel the top surface of the treadboard If the surface is slick to the touch, then no further lubrication is required

If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant.

HOW TO APPLY LUBRICANT

1. Lift one side of treadbelt.

2. Pour one half of the lubricant bottle under the center of the treadbelt on the top surface of the treadboard

3. Walk on the treadmill at a slow speed for 3 to 5 minutes to evenly distribute lubricant. NOTE: DO NOT over lubricate treadboard. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped off.

IMPORTANT: ONLY USE HALF THE BOTTLE OF LUBRICANT PER APPLICATION LUBRICATION SCHEDULE

1. After the first 25 hours of use (2-3 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant

2. Every 50 hours of use (5-8 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant We recommend that you use: LUBE-N-Walk™ Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from Sears parts and service.

RESET SWITCH RESETTING

If your treadmill looses power or will not start, check the reset switch located on the front of the motor cover. If the white tab of the reset switch is not showing then the reset switch has not been tripped. If the white tab of the reset switch is showing, the reset switch has tripped.

To reset the reset switch: Remove the safety clip on console.

Press white tab of the reset switch in until it snaps back into place. If the reset switch continues to trip - see treadbelt adjustment and treadbelt lubrication

SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

If the monitor does not display speed or distance the speed sensor and magnet may be misaligned. Follow these step to check and realign. Remove the motor cover Check the spacing and alignment between the magnet on the right side of the front roller and the speed sensor on the frame. The spacing must be 1/8”. Loosened screw and slide speed sensor in or out of clamp. Retighten screw Replace the motor cover

TRAINING GUIDELINES

Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are:

x Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) x Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency x Decreased risk of coronary heart disease x Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight x Delaying the physiological effects of age x Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.

Basic Components of Physical Fitness

There are four all encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role

Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people.

Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping.

Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness.

Cardio-Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs.

Aerobic Fitness The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity.

The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen.

Anaerobic Training

This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint).

The Training Threshold

This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter.

Progression As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement

Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

Page 28

Specificity

Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness.

That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

Reversibility

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success.

Warm Up

Every exercise program should start with a warm up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 35 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.

Warm Down or Cool Down

This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly to the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles.

Heart Rate

As you exercise, the rate at which your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart.

Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute(BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.

To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side.

As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves.

The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”. Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65

Target heart Rate

10Second Count 23 22 22 21 20 19 19 18 18

Beats per Minute 138 132 132 126 120 114 114 108 108

Pulse Count The pulse count(on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers)is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate.

The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average fitness, you may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group.

Page 29

The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about 80% of maximum.

Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 Target heart Rate

10 Second Count 26 26 25 24 23 22 22 21 20

Beats per Minute 156 156 150 144 138 132 132 126 120

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.

Two final comments:(1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it;(2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to it.

Muscle Soreness

For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days.

If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling your something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor.

What to Wear

Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”.

Breathing during Exercise

Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.

Rest periods Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm-up stage again. The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one minute rest periods

STRETCHING

Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
