TREADMILL OPERATION
LUBRICATING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Before the treadmill is used, the walking platform
should be lubricated.
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.
Apply lubricant here
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Open the included lubricant
Apply lubricant here
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.
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.
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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call toll-free 1-800-4-MY-HOME
(1-800-469-4663).
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.

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 35or individualswithpreexisting healthproblems.
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.
the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible
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.
carbohydrate calories for energy. Only
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
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.
9
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.
