ASSEMBLY
The help of a second person is recommended. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packingmaterials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires only the
included hex key and wrench .
1. Identify the Right Upright (36); the Resistance
Control/Cable (44) is routed through the Right Upright.
Place the Base (14) near the Right Upright and the

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is needed,
please call our Customer Service Department.
1. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Replace the batteries in the console (see assem-
bly step 5 on page 5).
b. Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust-
ed (see assembly step 3 on page 4).
c. Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully
into the wire on the console (see assembly step 6
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
hex key,
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 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in.).
Walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is properly tightened.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
he following guidelines will help you to plan your
T
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: B
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals withpreexisting health problems.
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.

stored
at, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
f
eart rate is between the lower two numbers in your
h
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.

A cool-down, consisting of five to ten minutes of
tretching. Stretching after exercise is effective for

increasing flexibility and helps to offset problems

you may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired.
Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise,

p
