OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking plat­form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re­sult from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos­sibility of your tread­mill being damaged, always use a surge protector (not in­cluded) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a UL­listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.
This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, 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. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap­propriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep­tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out­let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec­trician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
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 productÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in­stalled by a qualified electrician.

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and turn the speed control to the RESET position.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the power is turned on, the con­sole will automatically scan through five modes. A flashing mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed. The modes are described below.
¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your speed, in miles
per hour.
¥ TimeÑThis mode shows the elapsed time. Note:
If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
¥ Distance (DIST)ÑThis mode shows the total
number of miles you have walked or run.
¥ Fat Calories (FAT CALS)ÑThis mode shows the
approximate number of fat calories you have burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 14.)
¥ Calories (CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned.
¥ PulseÑThis mode shows your heart rate.
If desired, reset the display by pressing the ON/RESET button.
Measure your pulse, if desired.
To measure your pulse, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure activatedÑfully press it down. Do not
press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be de­tected. Next, raise
your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sen­sor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as described above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still while measuring your pulse.
When you are finished exercising, stop the walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt and remove the key from the console. The displays will turn off about six minutes after the key is removed.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exer­cise program. RememberÑthese are general guide­lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob­tain a reputable 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 on 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 Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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 low end of your training zone. (See pages 8 and 9.)
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó 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 middle of your training zone. (See pages 8 and 9.)
High Performance Athletic Conditioning
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning, set the speed control on the console to PERFORMANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your training zone.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed of the treadmill as needed.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
Warming Up
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper 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 pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exerciseÑnever hold your breath.
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 post-exercise problems.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the drawings at the right. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch

2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
