15. Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the
drawings below. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,
back of knees and back.
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.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible.
Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches:
Quadriceps and hip muscles.

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.
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.

16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key 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 MOVE
THE TREADMILL on page 10.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.
19. When moving the treadmill or folding the
treadmill to the storage position, make sure
that the storage latch is fully closed.
20. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch (3 mm)
from the rear roller (see the drawing on page

roller guards, if necessary.
21. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill
regularly.
22. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember—these 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 left side of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to
the right of your age. The three numbers are your
“training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher 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 ener-
gy. 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 one of the lower two
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 higher 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 or too low, adjust the speed or incline
of the treadmill accordingly.
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. 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 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 exercise—never hold your breath.
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.
Decal
Refer to the drawing at the right. Locate
the indicated warning decal on the treadmill. If the warning decal is missing, or if
it is not legible, please call our Customer
Service Department to order a free
replacement decal. Apply the decal in the
location shown.
