iMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARN ING:
following
,

.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

It is the responsibility
of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
Use the treadmill

only as described.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
]east eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmiJJ
on any surface that blocks air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.
.

,

Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should be used only by persons
weighing 275 pounds or less.

12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.
14. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROUBLESHOOTING on page 25 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)
15. Read, understand, and test the emergency
stop procedure before using the treadmill (see
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12).
16. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.

8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.

17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The puJse sensor is intended only as
an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local Sears store or call 1-800-366-7278
and order part number 146148, or see your
local electronics store.

19. Never leave the treadmiJl unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key and unplug
the power cord when the treadmill is not in
use.

20. Do not attempt to raise, Jower, or move the
treadmill untiJ it is properly assembled. (See

ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials; do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included allen wrenches
rubber mallet _:_,

and adjustable

_ and your own phillips screwdriver

the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make
sure that the gap between the Magnet and the
Reed Switch is about 1/8". If necessary, loosen the
Screw (58), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then
retighten the Screw. Reattach the Hood, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.

belt slows when walked on

If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When
the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be
able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches
off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert
the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call toll-free 1-800-4-MY-HOME _ (1-800469-4663).
PROBLEM:

The walking

belt is off-center

or slips when walked on

SOLUTION:

a. If the walking belt is off-center, remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to turn
the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the bolt
counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord,
insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b.

If the walking belt slips when walked on, remove the
key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the
allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4
of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened,
you should be able to lift each edge of the walking
belt 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform. Be careful
to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the
power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.

CONDiTiONiNG

GUiDELiNES
to use stored fatca/oriesfor energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill
until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your
training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number 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 highest number in your training
zone.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE iNTENSiTY

WORKOUT
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.

FAT BURN

FAT BURN
Age

Each workout should include the following three parts:
A Warm-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.

ZONES

AEROBIC

GUIDELINES

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.

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 define your "training zone." The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning, and the higher number is
the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

A Cool-down--Finish

each workout with 5 to 10 min-

utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent postexercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY

Fat Burning

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.

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 caloriesfor energy. Only after the first few minutes does your begin
