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.

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.

Screws

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.
