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

the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. For more detailed exercise informa­tion, obtain a book or consult your physician.

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.

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 define your “train­ing zone.” The two lower numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener­gy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the
treadmill until your heart rate is near the two lower
numbers in your training zone.

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 aerobic exercise,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. Aproper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and cir­culation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer­cise—never hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min­utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post­exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months, you may com­plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The
key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING:

Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35 or individuals
with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The sensor is intended
only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.

3

14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are
standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.

16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key and
unplug the power cord when the treadmill is
not in use.

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLYon page 5, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 11.) You
must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) in
order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.

20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

21. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
every three months.

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

23. The roller guards must be 3 mm (1/8 in.) from
the rear roller (see the drawing on page 4).
Remove the key and adjust the roller guards,
if necessary.

24.

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

25. This treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use this treadmill in any com­mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob­lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or prop­erty damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key

and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the

bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,
insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is centred.

b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove

the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight­ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk­ing belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking plat­form. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred.
Plug in the power cord, insert the key and carefully
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until
the walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm

2

(14-gauge) cord that is no longer

than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be
permanently damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen
wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts coun­terclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is
properly tightened, you should be able to lift each
side of the walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt
centred. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and
run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the
walking belt is properly tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, call our Customer Service Department.
