OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

Use a Surge Suppressor

Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be

damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s

power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interfer-

ence can result from weather conditions or from other

appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the

risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge

suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge

suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.

Use only a 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 also be electri-

cally 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

and serious injury to users.

Plug in the Power Cord

The treadmill 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. The treadmill power cord has a plug with a

grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).

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. The outlet must be on a

nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or

more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do

not plug other electrical devices, except for low-

power devices such as cell phone chargers, into

the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same

circuit. IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compat-

ible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be

compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

A temporary

adapter may

be used to

connect the

surge sup-

pressor to

a 2-pole

receptacle

if a properly

grounded

outlet is not

available.

The lug or wire extending from the adapter must

be connected with a metal screw to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not

grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-

fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box

cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should

be used only until a properly grounded outlet can

be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the power cord increases the risk of elec-

tric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will

not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure

whether the treadmill is properly grounded,

contact a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more effective and

enjoyable. When you use the manual mode, you can

change the speed and incline of the treadmill with the

touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will dis-

play instant exercise feedback. You can even measure

your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.

In addition, the console features sixteen onboard work-

outs—four calorie workouts, four timed workouts, four

distance workouts, and four performance workouts.

Each workout automatically controls the speed and

incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an ef-

fective exercise session.

To turn on the power, see page 16. To use the man-

ual mode, see page 16. To use an onboard work-

out, see page 18. To use the information mode, see

page 19.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in

either miles or kilometers. To nd which unit of mea-

surement is selected, see THE INFORMATION MODE

on page 19. For simplicity, all instructions in this man-

ual refer to miles.

IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of plastic on the

console, remove the plastic. To prevent damage

to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes

while using the treadmill. The rst time you use

the treadmill, observe the alignment of the walking

belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see

page 23).

workout will scroll across the display. If you select

a Calorie workout, the approximate number of calo-

ries you will burn will also appear in the display.

3. Start the workout.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase button

to start the workout. A moment after you press the

button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the

rst speed and incline settings of the workout. Hold

the handrails and begin walking.

Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.

One speed setting and one incline setting are

programmed for each segment. Note: The same

speed setting and/or incline setting may be pro-

grammed for consecutive segments.

During the

workout, the

prole will

show your

progress.

The ashing

segment of

the prole represents the current segment of the

workout. The height of the ashing segment indi-

cates the speed setting for the current segment.

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will

sound and the next segment of the prole will begin

to ash. If a new speed and/or incline setting is

programmed for the next segment, the new speed

and/or incline setting will appear in the displays for

a few seconds and the treadmill will automatically

adjust to the new speed and/or incline setting.

The workout will continue in this way until the last

segment of the prole ashes in the display and the

last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow

to a stop.

Note: The calorie goal is an estimate of the

number of calories that you will burn during

the workout. The actual number of calories that

you burn will depend on your metabolic rate. In

addition, if you manually change the speed or

incline of the treadmill during the workout, the

number of calories you burn will be affected.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low

at any time during the workout, you can manu-

ally override the setting by pressing the Speed or

Incline buttons; however, when the next segment

of the workout begins, the treadmill will auto-

matically adjust to the speed and incline set-

tings for the next segment.

To stop the workout at any time, press the Stop

button. The time will begin to ash in the display.

To resume the workout, press the Start button or

the Speed increase button. The walking belt will

begin to move at 1 mph. When the next segment of

the workout begins, the treadmill will automatically

adjust to the speed and incline settings for the next

segment.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 5 on page 17. The lower left corner of the

display will show the time remaining instead of the

elapsed time.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 6 on page 17.

6. When you are nished exercising, remove the

key from the console.

See step 7 on page 17.

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following

the simple steps below. Find the symptom that

applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assis-

tance is needed, see the front cover of this manual.

SYMPTOM: The power does not turn on

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

14). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

meets all of the specications described on page

14. IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compat-

ible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be

compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make

sure that the key is inserted into the console.

c. Check the power switch located on the treadmill

frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes

as shown, the switch has tripped. To reset the

power switch, wait for ve minutes and then press

the switch back in.

SYMPTOM: The power turns off during use

a. Check the power switch (see the drawing above).

If the switch has tripped, wait for ve minutes and

then press the switch back in.

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

power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for ve

minutes, and then plug it back in.

c. Remove the key from the console, and then

reinsert it.

d. If the treadmill still will not run, please see the front

cover of this manual.

SYMPTOM: The console displays remain lit when

you remove the key from the console

a. The console features a display demo mode, de-

signed to be used if the treadmill is displayed in a

store. If the displays remain lit when you remove

the key, the demo mode is turned on. To turn off

the demo mode, hold down the Stop button for a

few seconds. If the displays are still lit, see THE

INFORMATION MODE on page 19 to turn off the

demo mode.

SYMPTOM: The displays of the console do not

function properly

a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG

THE POWER CORD. With the help of a second

person, carefully tip down the Uprights (84, 85). If

there are three #8 x 2" Screws (16) in the bottom of

the Belly Pan (75), remove them. Note: A Phillips

screwdriver with a shaft at least 5 in. (13 cm) long

is required.

Then, raise the Uprights (84, 85).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Reset

Tripped

Next, remove the three #8 x 3/4" Screws (1), and

carefully pivot the Motor Hood (62) off.

Locate the Reed Switch (73) and the Magnet (47)

on the left side of the Pulley (48). Turn the Pulley

until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch.

Make sure that the gap between the Magnet

and the Reed Switch is about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If

necessary, loosen the #8 x 3/4" Truss Head Screw

(18), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then re-

tighten the Screw. Reattach the Motor Hood (not

shown). Reattach the #8 x 2" Screws (not shown)

if necessary. Run the treadmill for a few minutes to

check for a correct speed reading.

SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not

change correctly

a. Hold down the Stop button and the Speed increase

button, insert the key into the console, and then

release the Stop button and the Speed increase

button. Press the Stop button and then press the

Incline increase or decrease button. The treadmill

will automatically rise to the maximum incline level

and then return to the minimum level. This will re-

calibrate the incline system. If the incline does not

begin calibrating, press the Stop button again, and

then press the Incline increase or decrease button

again. When the incline is calibrated, remove the

key from the console.

SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on

a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

meets all of the specications described on page

14.

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

formance may decrease and the walking belt may

become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG

THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both

idler roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn.

When the walking belt is properly tightened, you

should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt

2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be

careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,

plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the

treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-

ing belt is properly tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see

ing belt centered. Then, 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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your "training zone." The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses 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 lowest number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise—never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps 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

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,

if desired. Remember, 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 persons

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing

health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

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

at on the oor. 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.
