CHAPTER 2: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read and understand all instructions and warnings prior to use.

• Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Obtain a medical exam before beginning any exercise program. If at any time during exercise you

feel faint, dizzy, or experience pain, stop and consult your physician.

• Obtain proper instruction prior to use.

• This treadmill is intended for light commercial use only.

• Inspect the treadmill for incorrect, worn, or loose components and do not use until corrected,

replaced, or tightened prior to use.

• Do not wear loose or dangling clothing while using the treadmill.

• Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the treadmill.

• Read, understand, and test the emergency stop procedures before use.

• Disconnect all power before servicing the treadmill.

• Do not exceed maximum user weight of 400 lbs.

• Keep the top side of the moving surface clean and dry.

• Keep children and animals away.

• Use caution when moving and assembling treadmill.

• All exercise equipment is potentially hazardous. If attention is not paid to the conditions of

equipment usage, death, or serious injury could occur.

Basic Guidelines for Setting Up Your Treadmill:

After removing the treadmill from the packaging, place your treadmill on a clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical
cord easily reaches a grounded three-pronged outlet and has enough slack to allow the deck to incline without tightening
the cord. Do not allow the treadmill assembly to rest on the cord.

Important Electrical Requirements – 120V:

Your TRUE treadmill requires a dedicated 120 volt, alternating current (AC), 20 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means
nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 120V AC 20 amp requirement, but
you must ensure the treadmill does not share the circuit with anything else.

Important Electrical Requirements – 230V

Your TRUE treadmill requires a dedicated 230 volt, alternating current (AC), 15 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means
nothing else can be plugged into the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 230V AC 15 amp requirement, but
you must ensure the treadmill does not share the circuit with anything else.

Danger: Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet.

The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by helping to prevent shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the treadmill is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the treadmill if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION

CAUTION:

The safety key must be in place on the treadmill console, and should be attached to the user’s clothing. The treadmill will
not operate if the safety key is not attached to the console.

HEART RATE MONITORING:

This treadmill can monitor a user’s heart rate using either a Polar® compatible chest strap or the metal grips on the hand
rails (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits the user’s heart rate to the treadmill via radio, and the
CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract the user’s heart rate.

Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:

Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this
kind of monitoring gives valuable feedback on the user’s effort level. Chest strap monitoring
also allows users to use Heart Rate Control, the most advanced exercise control system
available.
When users wear a Polar® compatible transmitter strap, the treadmill will display the user’s
heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against the user’s skin, about 1-2 inches
below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to place the
transmitter below their bra line.
Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non-existent. Some moisture is
necessary between the strap and the user’s skin for proper transmission. Sweat from exercise
works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to the workout if desired.

A Note on Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:

The chest strap produces a radio signal that the treadmill reads and registers as the user’s heart rate. The accuracy of a
reading may be affected when outside interference is present.

Contact Heart Rate (CHR):

The CHR system will let the user monitor their heart rate without wearing a chest strap. When using the CHR system
users should gently grasp the CHR pads with both hands. Within 30 seconds, the user’s heart rate should be displayed as a
digital bpm readout (during the first 30 seconds the system is analyzing and locking in the user’s heart rate). Users should
exercise with smooth body motions and breathe regularly. It is best to avoid talking while using the CHR system, as
talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm. To ensure an accurate reading, the user’s hands should
be clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.
*For increased safety and accuracy the CHR system should only be used at speeds of 4 mph or lower (CHR readings are
less accurate due to large muscle movements above this speed).

A Note on CHR Accuracy:

CHR monitoring may be less accurate than chest strap monitoring since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the
chest. When using a HRC workout, it is best to use a chest strap because of the stronger and more accurate readings.

CAUTION:

Do not use the contact heart rate grips as a handlebar during a workout.

Truefitness.com / 800.426.6570 / 636.272.7100 27

CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION

HEART RATE CONTROL (HRC):

Introduction:

You are now the owner of the most sophisticated Heart Rate Control treadmill available. TRUE HRC is unique and
patented. It accommodates users from rehabilitation to world class athletes, and all those in between. TRUE HRC allows
users to do a completely hands free heart rate controlled workout using speed, incline or both. By training at a specific
target heart rate, users can exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because users must enter the key parameters of the workout; target heart rate,
maximum speed, maximum incline, and time, prior to beginning the HRC workout. As users approach their target heart
rate, the treadmill’s computer automatically takes over and changes the speed and/or incline automatically to keep users
near their target heart rate. This allows for a completely “hands free” workout.
*A Polar® compatible heart rate monitoring chest strap should be worn during HRC workouts. For increased safety and
accuracy, contact heart rate monitoring is not recommended for HRC workouts.

Target Heart Rate:

TRUE’s heart rate control (HRC) workouts let the treadmill monitor relative exercise intensity by way of the user’s heart
rate, then automatically adjust the speed and incline to keep the user at their target heart rate and thus their desired
exercise intensity. Heart rate is a good measure of the body’s exercise stress level. It reflects differences in physical
condition, fatigue, the comfort of the workout environment, even diet and emotional state. Users should compare their
heart rate with how they feel to ensure safety and comfort.

Consult a physician to determine target heart rate:

Using heart rate to control a workout takes the guesswork out of the workout settings. Consult a physician before using
heart rate controlled workouts for advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the treadmill for
several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring heart rate. Users should compare their heart rate with how they
feel to ensure safety and comfort. After users have spent some time learning how their heart responds to different levels of
speed and incline, they will have a better understanding of how to select the maximum speed and maximum incline
required for reaching their target heart rate.

Warm Up:

At the beginning of an HRC workout, the treadmill is in full Manual Control mode. Users should gradually increase the
workout intensity to slowly raise their heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of their target heart rate. The
treadmill will operate as if in manual mode during the warm up stage. Users control both speed and incline. The user may
only increase speed and incline to the present maximum values entered. It is important that the user starts at a low level of
perceived exertion and gradually increase the workout intensity over several minutes until they approach their target heart
rate. This allows the body to adapt to the workout. Increasing the workout intensity gradually will allow the user to enter
the heart rate control stage without overshooting their target, keeping their heart rate within a few bpm of their target.
*Warming up too fast may cause the user to overshoot their target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the
computer software can control their heart rate. Users may overshoot and undershoot for several minutes until control is
achieved.
