OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
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. They 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 re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate 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 protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let 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 in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.

the walking platform. The center of the walking belt should just
touch the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt
centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is prop-
erly tightened.
6. SYMPTOM: ONE OF THE UPPER BODY ARMS SQUEAKS DURING USE
a. Correcting this problem requires a small amount of white marine
grease, available at most hardware stores.
Turn the Resistance Knob (97) counterclockwise until it can be
removed. Remove the Resistance Cone (98) and the Upper
Body Arm (96), along with the 3/8” Washers (67), Spring
Washer (5), Thrust Washers (101), and Thrust Bearing (102).
(Note: If the Resistance Sleeve [99] comes out of the
Resistance Bracket [104], press it back in.) Apply a thin layer of
white marine grease to the outer surface of the Resistance Cone
(98). Reattach all parts in the order shown at the right.
7. SYMPTOM: THE DISPLAYS OF THE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Check the batteries in the console. (See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 8.) Most problems are the re-
sult of drained batteries.
b. If the speed display does not show a correct reading, remove the
key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Raise the treadmill to
the storage position. (See HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL
FOR STORAGE on page 10.) Remove the four indicated screws.
Next, lower the treadmill. (See HOW TO LOWER THE TREAD-
MILL FOR USE on page 11). Remove the four screws from the
sides of the hood. Carefully slide the hood forward and remove it.
See page 14 for further instructions.

Locate the Reed Switch (38) and the Magnet (39) on the left side
of the Pulley (90). Turn the Pulley until 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 (19) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the
Screw. Re-attach the hood (see 8. b. on page 13), and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-
lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-
tain 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 de-
sired 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 exer-
cise. (This chart is also found on the console.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended
heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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 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 9.)
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 9.)
WARNING: Before beginning
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.

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 9.) Note: During the first few weeks of your
exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low
end of your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, use the pulse sensor on
the console. (See page 9.) If your heart rate is too high
or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill
until your heart rate is at the proper level.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three important parts:
A Warm-up
Begin with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exer-
cise. Warming up increases the body temperature, heart
rate, and circulation in preparation for vigorous exercise.
Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20
to 30 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your train-
ing 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 minutes of stretching
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your
muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise 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.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the
drawings below. 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 tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:
Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
