The state-of-the-art chest pulse sensor allows you

to continuously monitor your heart rate while you

exercise. Follow the instructions below to use the

chest pulse sensor.

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:

the chest strap and the sensor unit.

Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert one of the tabs

on the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit.

Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on

the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front

of the sensor unit.

Wrap the chest

strap around

your chest and

attach the other

end of the chest

strap to the

sensor unit.

Adjust the length

of the chest

strap, if neces-

sary. The chest

pulse sensor

should be under

your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high

under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is

comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor

unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Next, pull the sensor unit away from your body a few

inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner

side. The electrode areas are the areas covered by

shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or

contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return

the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each

use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the

electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse

sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off

when it is removed and the electrode areas are

dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

each use, it may remain activated longer than

necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose

it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°

Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest

strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions beginning on page 10 explain how

the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If

the letters “PLS” appear in the CALS./FAT CALS./

PULSE display or if the displayed heart rate is

excessively high or low, try the steps below.

• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your

clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under

the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.

The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward

and be right-side-up. Note: If the chest pulse sensor

does not function when positioned as described, try

moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the

sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until

you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself

near the center of the walking belt. For the console

to display heart rate readings, the user must be

within arm’s length of the console.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate

reading problems may be caused by medical

conditions such as premature ventricular contractions

(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high

power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that

magnetic interference may be causing a problem,

try relocating the treadmill.

•The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.

Locate the battery cover

on the back of the sen-

sor unit. Insert a coin

into the slot in the cover,

turn the cover counter-

clockwise, and remove

it. Remove the old bat-

tery and insert a new CR

2032 battery, making

sure that the battery is

turned so the writing is

on top. Make sure that

the rubber gasket is in

place in the sensor unit.

Replace the battery

cover and turn it clock-

wise to close it.

The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to

measure your heart rate without wearing the chest

pulse sensor. You can measure your heart rate before

you begin exercising, during your workout, and again

when you finish.

To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be

turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on

page 11.) In addition, the walking belt must be moving

or the TIME/PACE display must be flashing (see step

5 on page 12).

Next, stand on

the foot rails and

place your hands

on the metal con-

tacts. Your palms

must be resting

on the upper

contacts, and

your fingers must

be touching the

lower contacts—

avoid moving

your hands while

measuring your heart rate. After a moment, three

dashes (– – –) will appear in the CALS./FAT CALS./

PULSE display and your heart rate will be shown. For

the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold

the contacts for about 15 seconds.

HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

• Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving

your hands while measuring your heart rate.

Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate

readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used

correctly, three dashes (– – –) will appear repeatedly

in the CALS./FAT CALS./PULSE display but your

heart rate will not be shown.

• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so

may interfere with heart rate readings.

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for

about 15 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,

keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be

cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,

abrasives, or chemicals.

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. 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).

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 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.

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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of

features to make your workouts more effective.

When the console is in the manual mode, the speed

and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a

touch of a button. As you exercise, you can watch your

progress on the LED track while the five displays

provide continuous exercise feedback.

The console also features nine preset workout programs:

six speed programs automatically control the speed of

the treadmill as they guide you through effective work-

outs; two heart rate programs automatically control the

speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart

rate near predetermined settings; and a unique fitness

test program measures the relative fitness level you

have achieved.

In addition, the console offers two custom workout

programs. Each custom program automatically controls

the speed and incline of the treadmill according to

settings that you program.

To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning

on page 12. To use a speed program, see page 14.

To use a heart rate program, see page 15. To use

the fitness test program, see page 16. To create a

custom program, see page 18. To use a custom

program, see page 19.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in

either miles or kilometers (see SPEED DISPLAY on

page 13). For simplicity, all instructions in this manual

refer to miles.

CAUTION:Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

ing on the power or starting the walking belt.

• Always wear the clip (see part “O” in the

drawing above) while operating the tread-

mill. If the key is pulled from the console, the

walking belt will stop.

• The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments.

• The chest pulse sensor and hand pulse

sensor are not medical devices. Various

factors, including the user's movement, may

affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The pulse sensors are intended only as

exercise aids in determining heart rate

trends in general.

• If you have heart problems, or if you are over

60 years of age and have been inactive, do

not use the FAT BURN or AEROBIC program.

If you are taking medication regularly, consult

your physician to find whether the medication

will affect your exercise heart rate.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the

console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the

console and use only a sealable water bottle.

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 console.

c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill

near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as

shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the

circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press

the switch back in.

d. Check the on/off switch located at the front of the

treadmill near the power cord. The switch must be

in the “on” position.

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use

SOLUTION: a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 1. c. above). If

the circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.

b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in.

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console.

d. Check to make sure that the on/off switch is in the “on” position. (See 1. d. above.)

e. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

SOLUTION: a. 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.

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be per-

manently damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG

THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn

both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4

of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened,

and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until

the walking belt is centered.

b. If the walking belt has shifted to the right, first re-

move the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

Using the allen wrench, turn the left rear roller adjust-

ment bolt counterclockwise, and the right bolt clock-

wise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten

the walking belt. Plug in the power cord, insert the

key and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat

until the walking belt is centered.

c. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first re-

move the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

Using the allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjust-

ment bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking

belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift

each side of the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-

lines. For more detailed information about exercise,

obtain a book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your car-

diovascular 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. For effective exercise, your heart rate

should be maintained at a level between 71.5% and

85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This

is known as your training zone.

You can find your training zone in the table below.

Training zones are listed according to age and physical

condition.

Burning Fat

To burn fat, you must exercise at a 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 of exercise does your body begin to use stored

fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust

the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is

near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.

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 intensity of your exercise until your heart

rate is near the middle of your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three impor-

tant parts: (1) a warm-up, (2) training zone exercise,

and (3) a cool-down.

Warm-up

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-

ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles,

and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout

with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to

warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 25).

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 60 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.

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.

WARNING: The pulse sensors

are not medical devices. Various factors,

including your movement, may affect the

accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse

sensors are intended only as exercise aids in

determining heart rate trends in general.

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 if desired.

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 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 tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:

Calves, achilles tendons 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 buttocks 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.
