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.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of this treadmill are adequately

informed of all warnings and precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this

manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at

least eight feet of clearance behind it and two

feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill

on any surface that blocks air openings. To

protect the floor or carpet from damage, place

a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

garage or covered patio, or near water.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or oxygen is administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons

weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow

more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when

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 ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare

feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9. 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.

10. 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 or call 1-800-366-7278 and

order part number 146148.

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge

suppressor could result in damage to the con-

trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-

tem is damaged, the walking belt may change

speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result

in a fall and serious injury.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

13. 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

mill is not working properly.)

14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrails while using the treadmill.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

sudden jumps in speed.

16. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key, unplug

the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit

breaker to the off position when the treadmill

is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for

the location of the circuit breaker.)

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 24.)

You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20

kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an

electronic “chirping” sound will alert you

when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill

is about to change. Always listen for the

“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-

cline changes. In some instances, the speed

and/or incline may change before the per-

sonal trainer describes the change.

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can

manually override the speed and incline set-

tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-

cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”

is heard, the speed and/or incline will change

to the next settings of the CD or video program.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from

your CD player or VCR when you are not

using them.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill every three months.

24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-

ing.

25. DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the treadmill, and before performing the main-

tenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the

motor hood unless instructed to do so by an

authorized service representative. Servicing

other than the procedures in this manual

should be performed by an authorized service

representative only.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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 perfor-

mance. 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 and your own phillips screwdriver ,,

and wire cutters .

For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: The assembly hardware and other

small parts are packaged in separate part bags. If a part is not found in the part bags, check to see if the

part has been preattached. If a part is missing, call toll-free 1-800-999-3756.

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBETM, 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

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 a surge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see

your local Sears or call 1-800-366-7278 and order

part number 146148.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (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. There must be a

monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. 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 or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

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 a surge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCI-equipped outlets.

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.

DANGER: 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.

TREADMILL OPERATION

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of

features that help you get the most from your workouts.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the

speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with

the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will

display instant exercise feedback. You can even mea-

sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or

the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23).

In addition, the console offers four preset programs.

Each program automatically controls the speed and in-

cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-

tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered.

Each program automatically adjusts the speed and in-

cline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a tar-

get heart rate while you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio

cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home

stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play

special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes are available separately).

iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control

the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal

trainer guides you through every step of your workout.

High-energy music provides added motivation. To

purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-

free 1-800-735-0768.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you

can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-

cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-

tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

more information.

The diagrams beside the personal trainer program

indicators show how the speed and incline of the

treadmill will change during the programs. When a

program is selected, the Speed display will flash

the maximum speed setting of the program for a

few seconds, and the Distance/Incline display will

flash the maximum Incline setting. The Time/Pace

display will show how long the program will last.

The matrix will will

show the first four

speed settings of the

program.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

and begin walking.

Each program is divided into several time seg-

ments of different lengths. One speed setting and

one incline setting are programmed for each seg-

ment. Note: The same speed setting and/or in-

cline setting may be programmed for two or more

consecutive segments.

The speed setting for the

first segment is shown in

the flashing Current

Segment column of the

matrix. (The incline set-

tings are not shown in

the matrix.) The speed

settings for the next four

segments are shown in

the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash and a

series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-

cline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed

display and/or the Distance/Incline display will

flash to alert you. When the first segment ends, all

speed settings will move one column to the left.

The speed setting for the second segment will then

be shown in the flashing Current Segment column

and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the

speed and incline settings for the second segment.

Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment

column are lit after the speed settings have moved

to the left, the speed settings may move downward

so that only the highest indicators appear in the

matrix. If some of the indicators in the Current

Segment column are not lit when the speed set-

tings move to the left again, the speed settings will

move back up.

The program will continue in this way until the

speed setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and the last segment

ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low

at any time during the program, you can manually

override the setting by pressing the Speed or

Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button is

pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken

in the Current Segment column. (If any of the

columns to the right of the Current Segment col-

umn have the same number of lit indicators as the

Current Segment column, an additional indicator

may light or darken in those columns as well.)

Note: When the next segment of the program

begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust

to the speed and incline settings for the next

segment.

Current Segment

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop

button. The Time/Pace display will begin to flash.

To restart the program, press the Start button or

the Speed increase button. The walking belt will

begin to move at 1 mph. When the next segment

of the program begins, the treadmill will automati-

cally adjust to the speed and incline settings for the

next segment.

See step 5 on page 12.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 6 on page 13.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 7 on page 13.

When you are finished exercising, remove the

key from the console.

When the program ends, make sure that the in-

cline of the treadmill is at the lowest setting.

Next, remove the key from the console and put it in

a secure place. Note: If the displays and various

indicators on the console remain lit after the

key is removed, the console is in the “demo”

mode. See page 23 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, switch

the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position and

unplug the power cord.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor

(see page 23) to use a heart rate program. See

the instructions included with the chest pulse

sensor.

Insert the key fully into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on

page 12.

Select a heart rate program.

When the key is in-

serted, the manual

mode will be selected.

To select a heart rate

program, press the

Program Select button

repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program

indicators lights.

The diagrams beside the heart rate program indi-

cators show how the target heart rate will change

during the programs. During the 85% Max pro-

gram, your heart rate will reach approximately

85% of your estimated maximum heart rate; dur-

ing the Self Select program, your heart rate will re-

main near a level that you select.Note: Your esti-

mated maximum heart rate is determined by sub-

tracting your age from 220. For example, if you

are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart

rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).

During heart rate pro-

grams, the matrix will

show a moving graphic

that represents your

heart rate. Each time a

heartbeat is detected,

an additional peak will

appear.

Enter your age.

When a heart rate pro-

gram is selected, the

word “AGE” and the cur-

rent age setting will flash

in the Calories/Pulse

display. If you have al-

ready entered your age, simply press the Enter

button. If you have not entered your age, press

the increase and decrease buttons beside the

Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the

Enter button.

Enter a maximum speed.

After you have entered

your age, the letters

“SPd” and the maximum

speed setting of the pro-

gram will flash in the

Speed display. If de-

sired, press the increase and decrease buttons

beside the Enter button to adjust the maximum

speed setting. When the desired setting is shown,

press the Enter button.

If the 85% Max program is selected, go to step

7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to

step 6.

Enter a target heart rate.

The letters “PLS” and

the target heart rate set-

ting for the program will

flash in the Calories/

Pulse display. If desired,

press the increase and

decrease buttons beside the Enter button to ad-

just the target heart rate setting. When the desired

setting is shown, press the Enter button.

CAUTION:If you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and

have been inactive, do not use the heart rate

programs. If you are taking medication regu-

larly, consult your physician to find whether

the medication will affect your exercise heart

rate.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

and begin walking.

Each heart rate program is divided into several time

segments of different lengths. One target heart rate

is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self

Select program is selected, the same target heart

rate is programmed for all segments.

During each segment, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the current target heart

rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above

the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will

automatically increase or decrease to bring your

heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the

speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the

program (see step 5 on page 16) and your heart

rate is still too far below the current target heart

rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase

to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart

rate.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a

series of tones will sound and the Speed display

and the Distance/Incline display will flash.

The program will continue until the last segment

ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low

at any time during the program, you can adjust the

setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,

each time the console compares your heart rate to

the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-

cline of the treadmill may automatically change to

bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse

display and the speed and incline of the treadmill

may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-

tected. If this occurs, see the instructions included

with the optional chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop

button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped

temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate

program again, reselect the program and start it at

the beginning.

Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 5 on page 12.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 7 on page 13.

When you are finished exercising, remove the

key from the console.

See step 7 on page 15.

1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-

ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-

ing belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be

careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the

power cord, insert the key, and walk on the treadmill

for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is

properly tightened.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-

tion, 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 recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

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 “train-

ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended

heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the

recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the

handgrip pulse sensor.

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 en-

ergy. 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 or incline of the tread-

mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in

your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or 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 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 or incline of the treadmill until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

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 in-

creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-

tion 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.

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 post-ex-

ercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

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, you may com-

plete 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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for individu-

als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. 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 each leg. 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 each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-

dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-

dons 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 but-

tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times

for each leg. 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.
