LUBRICATING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Before the treadmill is used, the walking platform should be lubricated. Open the included lubricant
packet. Reach under one side of the walking belt as far as you can, and apply half of the lubricant to the walking platform. Then, reach under the other side of the walking belt and apply the remaining lubricant.
After you have applied the lubricant, walk on the treadmill for a few minutes to spread the lubricant.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, batteries must be installed (see assembly step 6 on page 5). If there is a thin sheet of plastic on the console, remove the plastic.
The console features six modes:
• Speed—This mode displays your speed, in miles per hour.
• Distance—This mode displays the number of miles you have walked.
• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time.
• Odometer—This mode displays the distance that the walking belt has moved since the batteries were changed.
• Calorie—This mode displays the approximate num­ber of calories you have burned.
• Scan—This mode displays the Speed, Distance, Time, Odometer, and Calorie modes.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
1. Turn on the power. To turn on the power, press the console button or
begin walking. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be on.
2. Track your progress with the six modes. When the power is
turned on, the Scan mode will be selected and the SCAN indica­tor will appear. The console will display the Speed, Distance, Time, Odometer, and Calorie modes, for about six seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
To select only the Speed, Distance, Time, Odometer, or Calorie mode, press the console but­ton until only the SPEED, DIST, TIME, ODO, or CAL indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the SCAN indicator does not appear.
To reset all modes (except for the odometer mode), press the console button for about three seconds.
3. Turn off the power. To turn off the power, simple wait for a few minutes.
If the walking belt is not moved and the console button is not pressed for a few minutes, the power
will turn off automatically.

INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The incline of the treadmill can be adjusted to any of three positions. Hold the front of the Frame (29), and remove the two Pins (4). Raise or lower the Frame, align the holes in the Frame with one of the sets of holes in the Uprights (35, 36), and then re-insert the Pins. Make sure both Pins are fully inserted at the
same height.
FOLDING THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
When the treadmill is not in use, it can be folded to the compact storage position. CAUTION: You must
be able to safely lift 25 pounds (11 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is needed, call our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).
1. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Replace the batteries in the console (see assem-
bly step 6 on page 5).
b. Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust-
ed (see assembly step 4 on page 4).
c. Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully
into the wire on the console (see assembly step 7 on page 5).
d. The console, like most electronics, is susceptible
to static electricity build-up caused by certain types of clothing or by the operation of the tread­mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect read­ings, apply an anti-static spray to the handrail. Anti-static spray is available where laundry sup­plies are sold.
2. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT DOES NOT MOVE SMOOTHLY
a. If the walk-
ing belt is overtight­ened, per­formance may be reduced and the walking belt may be permanently damaged. Using the allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the tension of the walking belt is correct, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered.
3. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT SLIPS OR IS OFF-CENTER
a. If the walking
belt slips when walked on, use the
allen wrench to turn both adjustment 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 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the tread­mill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered.
b. If the walking
belt has shift­ed to the left side, use the
allen wrench to turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise, and the right adjustment bolt counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min­utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
c. If the walking
belt has shift­ed to the right side, use the
allen wrench to turn the left adjustment bolt counterclock­wise, and the right adjustment bolt clockwise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min­utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WHY EXERCISE?
Exercise has proven essential for good health and well-being. A well-rounded exercise program helps to develop a stronger and more efficient heart, improved respiratory function, increased stamina, better weight management, increased ability to handle stress, and greater self-esteem.
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 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 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 intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is between the lower two numbers in your training zone as you 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 zone.
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.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exer­cise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity of your 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.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for individu­als over the age of 35 orindividuals withpre­existinghealthproblems.

PART LIST—Model No. WLTL01530 R0603A
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.
Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise, plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for many, and the self-discipline required to rise early and exercise increases productivity throughout the day. For others, exercising before dinner helps them to relax. Whatever time you choose, be consistent. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
