IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.

12. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
13. Never move the walking belt whilst the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is
not working properly.)

2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails whilst using the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.

16. The pulse sensors 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.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should be used only by persons
weighing 125 kg (275 lbs.) or less.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)

8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended for
both men and women. Always wear athletic
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 27.)
You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to

10. When connecting the power cord (see page
10), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an
ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted
to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be
used.

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.

11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3conductor, 1mm2 (14-gauge) cord that is no
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you
can manually override the speed and incline
settings at any time by pressing the speed
and incline buttons. However, when the next
“chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will
change to the next settings of the CD or video

The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.

Buckle

Next, wrap the
chest pulse sensor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, 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 visible and right-side-up.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as described, move 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, rewet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the centre of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.

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 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.

• 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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 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
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor 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

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 31).

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 platform. Such
substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill. If a ferrite box is included, lift the tab on
the ferrite box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord.
Fasten the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off
the excess plastic tie. The plastic tie will prevent the ferrite box from
sliding along the power cord.
See drawing 2. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips
in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the
power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter. Important: Make
sure that the adapter cover is secure and the screw has been
tightened before using the power cord.
See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

sonal trainer guides you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the chest pulse sensor.

Using the included audio cable, you can also connect
the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com
video programs. Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, and allow you to enjoy
breathtaking scenery whilst you exercise. To purchase
iFIT.com videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.

The console also offers six preset programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
Four pulse programs are also offered. Each program
adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate whilst you exercise. In addition, a fitness test program measures your
VO2 max level. You can even create custom programs
and save them in memory for future workouts.

You can also connect the treadmill to your home computer and access programs directly from our Web site.

HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS

CAUTION:

If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse programs. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

When a pulse program
is selected, the word
“AGE” and the current
age setting will flash in
the Calories/Pulse display. If you have already
entered your age, simply
press the Enter button. If you have not entered
your age, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the
Enter button.

Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program. See the instructions on page 9.

Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.

Enter your age.

Select a pulse program.

Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, go to
step 6. If pulse program 4 is selected, follow
the instructions below.

When the key is inserted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select a pulse program, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” appears in the Distance/Incline display.

After you have entered
your age, the letters
“PLS” and the target
heart rate setting for the
program will flash in the
Calories/Pulse display. If
desired, press the + and
– buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the target heart rate setting. When the desired setting is
shown, press the Enter button.

The diagrams numbered 1 through 4 on the left
side of the console show how the target heart rate
will change during the programs. During pulse
program 1, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heart
rate; during pulse programs 2 and 3, your heart
rate will reach approximately 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate; during pulse program
4, your heart rate will remain near a level that you
select.

Enter a maximum speed.
Next, the letters “SPd”
and the maximum speed
setting of the program
will flash in the Calories/
Pulse display. If desired,
press the + and – buttons beside the Enter
button to adjust the maximum speed setting.
When the desired setting is shown, press the
Enter button.

Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated
maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190).

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.

Each pulse program is divided into several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If pulse
program 4 is selected, the same target heart rate
is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 6 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a pulse program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.

Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.

Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.

The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 7 on page 15.

CHANGING THE ISOLATOR SPRINGS
The treadmill features Isolator Springs (6) that cushion
the walking platform. A pair of Gray Isolator Springs is
preinstalled on the treadmill. For a firmer walking platform, the Gray Isolator Springs can be removed and
the included Blue Isolator Springs can be installed.

The Time/Pace display will
show the total number of
hours the treadmill has been
used.

IMPORTANT: The Calories/Pulse display should be
blank. If a “d” appears in the display, the console is in
the “demo” mode. This mode is intended to be used
only when a treadmill is displayed in a store. When the
console is in the demo mode, the power cord can be
plugged in, the key can be removed from the console,
and the displays and indicators on the console will automatically light in a preset sequence, although the
buttons on the console will not operate. If a “d” appears
in the Calories/Pulse display when the information
mode is selected, press the Speed – button so the
display is blank.

Fold the treadmill to the storage position (see page
21). Using a hex key, remove the two Isolator Bracket
Bolts (12) from one of the Isolator Brackets (10).
Remove the Gray Isolator Spring (6) from the Isolator
(7) and slide a Blue Isolator Spring onto the Isolator.
Insert the Isolator back into the circular channel in the
Isolator Top Cap (5), and reattach the Isolator Bracket
with the Isolator Bracket Bolts; start both Isolator
Bracket Bolts before tightening either of them.

To exit the information mode, remove the key.

Replace the other Gray Isolator Spring (6) in the same
way.

tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred. Plug
in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk
on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the
walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

PROBLEM: The chest pulse sensor does not function properly
SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery
should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover
on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover
and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position. Remove
the cover.

Battery Cover

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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 treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone.

WARNING:

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.

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.

The pulse sensors 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.

Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain 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 recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

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 increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation 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.

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 “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

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 prevent postexercise problems.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete 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.

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-

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.
