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.

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,
you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt

ment bolt clockwise, and the right bolt counterclock-
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.
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
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 properly tightened.

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.
