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 PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651

and order part number 146148.

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. There must be a

monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to

use a properly functioning surge suppressor could

result in damage to the control system of the

treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the

walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-

tion, 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 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.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

on the left side of the chart (ages are rounded off to

the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to

the right of your age. The three numbers are your

“training zone.” The lower two numbers are recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning; the highest 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 highest 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).

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, stop exer-

cising and place two

fingers on your wrist

as shown. Take a six-

second heartbeat

count, and multiply

the result by ten to

find your heart rate. (A

six-second count is used because your heart rate

drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart

rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline

of the treadmill accordingly.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A well-rounded workout includes three important 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 prepa-

ration for exercise.

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.

Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-

cise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to

60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-

cise 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 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 ten-

dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-

dons, 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 but-

tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for

both legs. 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.
