ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires your own Phillips screw-
driver and rubber mallet .
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 performance. 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.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position.
While a second person tips the treadmill to one side
slightly and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (103)
into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension
Leg is turned so the Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.
Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the
other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower
the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs
(103) are resting flat on the floor.
2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
treadmill frame and then tip the Uprights (82) down as
shown. Make sure that the Extension Legs (103) re-
main in the Uprights.

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).
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
SEARS or call toll-free 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 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.
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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be controlled with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, the LED track and
the four displays will provide continuous exercise feed-
back. You can even measure your heart rate using the
built-in pulse sensor.
Six certified personal trainer programs are also offered.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
The console also features advanced iFIT.com interac-
tive technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a
personal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (one CD is provided).
IFIT.com CD 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. Each CD features
two different programs designed by certified personal
trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an in-
structor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com
and access even more programs. Choose from a se-
lection of basic programs that interactively control the
speed and incline of your treadmill to help you achieve
your personal exercise goals. Or, use iFIT.com audio
and video programs directly from our internet site. Visit
www.iFIT.com for complete details.
By adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill,
you can use virtually endless features from our internet
site. See www.iFIT.com to learn about other iFIT.com
features. To purchase iFIT.com CD’s, iFIT.com
videocassettes, or an optional upgrade module,
see your local SEARS or call toll-free 1-800-884-
0620. For information about other optional acces-
sories, see page 18.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a personal trainer
program, see page 12. To use iFIT.com CD or video
programs, see page 15. To use iFIT.com programs

segments of different
lengths. The TIME
display shows both the
time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg-
ment of the program.
One speed setting and one incline setting are pro-
grammed for each segment. When only three sec-
onds remain in the first segment, a series of tones
will sound and the treadmill will automatically ad-
just to the speed and incline settings for the second
segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
TIME display counts down to zero. The walking
belt will then slow to a stop.
Note: If the speed or incline setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the SPEED or
INCLINE buttons on the console. However, when
the next segment begins, the treadmill will ad-
just to the next speed and incline settings of
the program.
To stop the program, press the STOP button. The
TIME display will begin to flash. To restart the pro-
gram, press the START button or the SPEED
▲▲
button. To end the program, press the STOP but-
ton, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the four displays.
Refer to step 5 on page 10.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When the program is completed, remove the
key from the console.
When the program has ended, make sure that
the treadmill is at the lowest incline level. Next,
remove the key from the console and put it in a
secure place. Note: If the displays and indica-
tors on the console remain lit after the key is
removed, the console is in the “demo” mode.
Refer to page 18 and turn off the demo mode.
When you are finished using the treadmill, move
the on/off switch near the power cord to the off
position.

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
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 higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor. If your heart rate is too high or too low,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill.
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 and 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 and 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 and 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.
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 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.
