1-2	Safety Tips

Congratulations on your purchase of a TRUE treadmill. You have chosen a premium piece of exercise equipment designed to meet your fitness needs.

Before using your treadmill, please review this manual to learn about the unit’s features, functions, maintenance procedures, and safe operation.

SAFETY TIPS:

1.Always use safety key and attach lanyard to your clothing at about waist height.

2.Wear comfortable, good-quality walking or running shoes.

3.Warm-up and cool-down periods are important for a complete workout.

4.Always straddle the belt and allow it to start moving before stepping onto it.

5.Hold the grab bar while adjusting the controls.

6.Keeping your eyes focused straight ahead will help you maintain your balance.

7.Adjust your own speed and grade. Never make adjustments for another person or allow someone else to make adjustments for you.

8.Always allow the belt to stop completely before dismounting. Gradually slowing down also minimizes the sensation of feeling like you are still moving after you stop.

9.Allow space behind treadmill and sides in the event you lose your balance.

10.Always inspect your treadmill to ensure there are no foreign objects obstructing the moving parts.

11.To avoid any possibility of being struck or caught between moving parts, bystanders should not be within reach of the treadmill while it is in motion.

12.For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your treadmill, allow only ONE person at a time on your machine.

13.Never leave unsupervised children near your treadmill.

14.Animals should never be allowed on or near your treadmill.

15.Keep the power cord clear of the incline system. Allow extra slack for inclining the machine. Do not run the power cord under the treadmill.

16.Your treadmill is designed for indoor use only.

17. Never use your treadmill around water or while you are wet. Using the unit around a pool, hot tub or sauna will void the warranty.

18. Do not operate treadmill while using bottled oxygen.

Assembly & Belt Adjustment

THE BASICS

Your treadmill is made up of two main sections: the base and the pedestal.

The base of the treadmill consists of a metal frame, a shock-absorbing deck system and a powerful continuous-duty horsepower DC motor. The motor powers a pulley system which moves the running belt over the deck. (See figure 1, page 1-4)

The pedestal mounts on the top of the frame. It places the displays, information readout and touch keys within easy sight and reach.

(See figure 1, page 1-4)

SETTING UP YOUR	IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
TREADMILL	REQUIREMENTS

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 unhindered by the cord. Do not allow the treadmill assembly to rest on the cord. Although your treadmill is designed to operate on most carpeted surfaces, some deeply padded or heavy shag carpets can cause damage to the unit. To prevent damage to your treadmill or carpet, have someone stand on the deck and make sure the treadmill belt doesn’t touch the carpet at any point.

Your TRUE treadmill is designed for indoor use only. Always keep the control panel out of direct sunlight.

Your True treadmill requires a dedicated 120 VAC 20 amp grounded outlet circuit. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet. The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by preventing shock.

A GROUNDED OUTLET IS CRITICAL

FOR THE HRC SYSTEM TO FUNCTION

PROPERLY.

BASE

ASSEMBLY

TRUE treadmills are shipped in two pieces: the pedestal assembly (which includes the control console) and the base.

Instructions for assembling the unit:

1.Remove the protective packaging materials. NOTE: Do not lift the treadmill by the motor when removing from carton!

2.Lay pedestal on deck as shown. (Fig. 1)

3.Feed wire harness through reusable wire ties from left to right. (Fig. 2)

4.Tighten wire ties and tuck excess tie down between motor and PWM board. (Fig.2) NOTE: Do not cut off excess wire tie. These are reusable.

5.Raise top of pedestal into place.

6.Install three of the enclosed screws with lock washers on each side, then tighten all six screws. (Fig. 3)

PARTS INCLUDED:

1 - ALLEN WRENCH

6 - SCREWS

6 - STAR WASHERS (LOCK WASHERS)

1 - OWNERS MANUAL

1 - WARRANTY CARD

1- HEART RATE TRANSMITTER WITH STRAP (HRC MODELS ONLY)

Fig. 3

IMPORTANT: Do not operate unless all six screws are fastened securely. Be sure screws and lock washers thread into the holes in pedestal. Reverse procedure whenever removing the pedestal. Remove pedestal console only while treadmill is at zero grade and unplugged.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT:

Your TRUE treadmill requires a dedicated 120 VAC 20 amp grounded outlet circuit. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet. The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by preventing shock. This grounded outlet is critical for the HRC system to function properly. NOTE: Units

produced for use outside of the U.S.A. will have voltage indicated on the identification tag.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS

Your treadmill’s running belt has been properly aligned at the factory. However, when the treadmill is used on an uneven surface, please follow these instructions:

PREFERRED METHOD

Level the treadmill by placing shims 1/8” to 3/8” thick under the front wheel and rear shock absorber on one side. NOTE: This method will provide extended belt life by keeping both rollers parallel. Adjusting the belt tracking by using the roller bolts will cause the belt to stretch on one side.

Treadbelt Tension & Safety Features

1-5

NOTE: Your authorized True dealer may provide additional support.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

1.Stand beside the treadmill, insert the safety key into the bottom of the control panel and follow operating instructions for running the treadmill at 5 mph. (Section 2.5)

2.If the belt is off-center to the right, turn the left roller adjustment bolt counter clock-wise 1/4 turn. If the belt is off-center to the left, turn the left roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. (Figure 1 Detail 1)

3.Let the machine run for several minutes to check the alignment. (Belt alignment does not need to be perfect). If more correction is needed, turn the adjustment bolt 1/4 turn and check again.

TREADBELT TENSION:

To assure maximum life of the treadbelt, roller and drive motor, make sure the treadbelt tension is set correctly. (Your treadbelt has been properly tensioned at the factory.)

1

Figure 1

•Turn both rear roller adjustment bolts (Detail 1) counter-clockwise until treadbelt just begins slipping when walking on it, then turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clockwise in equal quarter turn increments until treadbelt stops slipping. NOTE: Be sure to run on treadbelt to ensure that the treadbelt does not slip while under load.

SAFETY FEATURES

PADDED HAND RAIL

The padded hand rail is mounted to the rear of the control console. The bar provides a convenient support to use throughout your workout.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch is located to the right of the power cord on the front of the machine. It completely removes AC power from your treadmill. It is recommended that you use this switch to turn the machine off after each workout.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Your TRUE treadmill is protected from overload by a 20 amp circuit breaker that can be reset in the event of a power overload. It is located to the left of the power cord.

SAFETY KEY AND LANYARD

You can protect yourself from injuries resulting from unexpected loss of balance by attaching the lanyard to your clothing at about waist height when you use your treadmill. When the safety key is detached, your treadmill will not operate.

REAR ROLLER SHIELDS

Steel guards over the ends of the rear roller prevent towels and other items from getting caught in the running belt.

FULLY ENCLOSED MOTOR

The motor and flywheel are fully enclosed in a protective metal compartment.

LOW PROFILE FRAME

To enhance safety, TRUE treadmills are designed to be as low to the ground as possible.

Cardiointeractive & Heart Rate Control

True Target Heart Rate Control: How It Works

2-10

INTRODUCTION

You are now the owner of the most sophisticated Heart Rate Control treadmill available. The TRUE HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates users in rehabilitation to world class athletes, and all those in between. The TRUE HRC treadmill allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate controlled workout using speed, grade or both. The user determines all the key parameters of the HRC workout, including speed, grade, time, and target heart rate.

By training at a specific target heart rate, you can exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.

The TRUE HRC system is unique because you can enter the key parameters of your workout, target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade, and time, prior to beginning your HRC workout. As you approach your target heart rate, the treadmill software takes over and changes speed and/or grade to keep you near your target heart rate. This gives you a completely “hands free” workout.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it is important to use the treadmill for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. You can monitor your heart rate during workouts by wearing the heart rate transmitter included with your treadmill. Your heart rate will automatically appear in

the lower right hand window, and the heart shaped light will blink to indicate a signal is being received.

After you have spent some time learning how your heart reacts to different levels of speed and grade, you will have a better understanding of how to select the maximum speed and maximum grade required to reach your target heart rate.

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR TARGET HEART RATE.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

1.Target Heart Rate Training

Preset your target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade, and time of workout. These are time-based workouts. The distance traveled will vary depending on speed.

2.Interval Heart Rate Training

Interval heart rate training takes your workout to an even higher level. Interval training allows you to program periods of rest between periods of work. For each workout, you enter target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade, duration of workout, and duration of work and rest intervals. These are time-based workouts. The distance traveled will depend on your speed.

3.Cruise Control

Manual workout with heart rate transmitter. When you reach desired heart rate, press cruise control key and it’s hands-free.

4.Manual Workout:

This is a completely user controlled workout. You control the speed and the grade throughout your workout. Your heart rate may be monitored during this workout, but it is not heart rate controlled.

5.Programs:

There are 4 preprogrammed workouts:

•Hill Intervals

•Weight Loss workout

•Cardiovascular workout

•Speed Interval workout

Each workout has 9 levels of intensity. The treadmill controls both the speed and grade. These are not heart rate controlled, but will monitor heart rate.

Duration of programs are 15:00 to 99:00 minutes.

6.To Increase Workload in Heart Rate Control: To raise your heart rate in the HRC mode, speed will always increase until maximum speed is

attained, followed by grade (if grade is used in the workout).

7.To Decrease Workload in Heart Rate Control: To lower heart rate in the HRC mode, grade will always decrease until zero grade is reached, followed by speed (if grade is used in the workout).

8.Speed Change:

Each change in speed is in .1 MPH increments.

9.Grade Change:

Each change in grade is in .5% grade increments.

This unique, simple, and safe system is easy to use and understand.

The user first sets their personal maximums for both speed and grade. This allows the user to customize and create a variety of workouts. By setting personal maximums for speed and grade, the user is provided safe workouts that fit their capabilities. Once this data is entered, along with target heart rate and workout time, the user is ready to start their Heart Rate Control workout.

The initial stage of the Heart Rate Control workout is the warm-up stage and allows the user the flexibility to adjust their speed or grade at anytime. The warm-up stage is not predetermined by the amount of time input prior to workout, and the user may take as much time as they wish to approach their target heart rate. The warm-up stage ends when the user’s heart rate is ten beats below the pre-set target heart rate.

At this point, the user enters the Heart Rate Control stage, and the treadmill takes control of both the speed and grade (hands free).

The treadmill software gradually increases the user’s heart rate to within 10 beats of the target heart rate.

In the situation where workload needs to be increased in order to elevate the heart rate, the speed will be increased first in 1/10 mph increments.

If needed, the speed will continue to increase up to the pre-set maximum. If the user still requires additional workload to raise the heart rate, the grade will be raised in .5% increments up to the maximum pre-set grade (unless zero grade was entered).

Conversely, whenever the workload needs to be reduced in order to lower the heart rate, the grade is always reduced first. The grade will be reduced to zero (if required), before speed is reduced.

EXAMPLES OF HOW HRC CAN WORK FOR YOU:

Example #1:

A user who physically cannot walk over 2.5 mph can safely use heart rate control by entering maximum speed of 2.5 in a Heart Rate Control workout.

Example #2:

A runner can run up to a maximum speed of 10 mph, without hills, by entering a maximum speed of 10 mph and a maximum grade of 0%.

Example #3:

A walker enters a maximum speed of 4.0 mph and a maximum grade of 6%. The walker is limited to a maximum speed of 4.0 mph and grade will be used if required to elevate the heart rate up to a maximum of 6%.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before beginning operation of the treadmill in Heart Rate Control, you must first attach the heart rate transmitter around

your chest. The radio frequency transmitter strap provided with your treadmill should be worn directly against your skin,

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. Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission. In most cases, by the end of your warm up, transmission becomes consistent and accurate. If not, saline solution should be used to moisten the sensors on the back of the strap. The Heart ( ) LED will flash, showing that the heart rate signal is received.

BASIC START-UP

•Plug machine into a grounded 120 VAC outlet.

•Turn on the power switch.

•Step onto treadmill.

•Straddle treadbelt.

•Insert safety key into the console behind the grab bar.

Caution: When the safety key is inserted, the treadmill will return to 0% grade. Please keep the area under the treadmill free from obstructions.

•Connect safety lanyard clip to the waistband of your clothing. Do not operate treadmill without safety lanyard clipped to your clothing at about waist height.The message will read

WARM UP STAGE

The treadmill will operate in the manual mode during the warm-up stage so you can control both speed and grade. It is important that you start at a low level of perceived exertion and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target.

NOTE: Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot your target for several minutes until control is achieved.

Wear the heart rate transmitter provided with your treadmill directly against your skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non existent. Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission. The Heart “ ” LED will flash, showing that the heart rate signal is received.

Warm-up Stage Instructions: Using , gradually increase speed to a comfortable walk. If you have entered a maximum grade in your workout, you may increase grade gradually by using . Remember, warm up slowly! Continue increasing speed and/or grade to gradually increase your heart rate. You may only increase speed and grade to the preset maximum values entered.
