OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
T
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with highperformance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone 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
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.
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 possi-
bility 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 WESLO dealer or call the
toll-free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.

t
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

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individualswith pre-existing health problems.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows
recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For effective aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, stop exercising
and place two fingers on
your wrist as shown.
Take a six-second
heartbeat count, and
multiply the result by ten
to find your heart rate.
(A six-second count is used because your heart rate
drops quickly when you stop exercising.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at the proper
intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the
first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible

zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three important parts:
A warm-up, consisting of five to ten minutes of
stretching and light exercise. This will increase your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, including 20 to 30 minutes of
exercise with your heart rate in your training zone.
A cool-down, consisting of five to ten minutes of
stretching. Stretching after exercise is effective for increasing flexibility and helps to offset problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest after
each workout. After a few months of regular exercise,
you may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
