OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANG ER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service-

man if you are in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify

the plug provided with the product--if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home's power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use asurge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right).

Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores

and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge

suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage

surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must

have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or

less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug the power cord into asurge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is

needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at 1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Central Time (excluding holidays).

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor

is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor

that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor

must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation

of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the con-

sole. (See step 1 on page 8.)

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING: Beforebeginning

this or any exercise program, consult your

physician. This is especially important for in-

dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals

with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including your movement,

may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The sensor is intended only as an exercise aid

in determining heart rate trends in general.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your

exercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-

tion, obtain a 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. (The

chart is also found on the treadmill console.)

MIN BPM _I125 120 115 I]0 105 95 90 Fat Bur,, X

XAGEI20 30 40 50 60 70 80 /

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the

nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above

your age. These numbers are your "training zone." The

smaller two numbers are recommended heart rates for

fat burning; the larger number is the recommended

heart rate for aerobic exercise. To measure your heart

rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the con-

sole. (See page 9.) If your heart rate is too high or too

low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill.

Burning Fat

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 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 speed and incline of the treadmill until your

heart rate is near one of the lower two numbers in your

training zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed

control on the console to FAT BURN to help you main-

tain the proper intensity level (see page 8).

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, 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. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on

the console to AEROBIC to help you maintain the

proper intensity level (see page 8).

High Performance Athletic Conditioning

If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,

set the speed control on the console to PERFOR-

MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level

(see page 8). Note: During the first few weeks of your

exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low

end of your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

AWarm-up--Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-

creases your body temperature, heart rate, and circu-

lation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise--After warming up, increase

the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in

your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the

first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep

your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20

minutes.)

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 to prevent post-

exercise problems.

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-

tween workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week

if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
