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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in thumb pulse
sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page
21).
Four certified personal trainer programs are also
offered. Each program automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also fea-
tured. Each program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
during your workouts.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal 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 (iFIT.com CDs are avail-
able separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically
control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per-
sonal trainer guides you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
Each CD features two 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
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-
cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for
details.
To purchase iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, call
toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 11. To use a personal trainer
program, see page 13. To use a heart rate program,
see page 14. To use an iFIT.com CD or video pro-
gram, see page 18. To use an iFIT.com program di-
rectly from our Web site, see page 20.
CAUTION: Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing
above) while operating the treadmill.
•Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
•To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on the console and place only a sealed water
bottle in the water bottle holder.

HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
Select one of the personal trainer programs.
When the key
is inserted, the
manual mode
will be se-
lected. To se-
lect a personal
trainer pro-
gram, press the Program button repeatedly until
one of the four personal trainer program indicators
lights. When a personal trainer program is se-
lected, the Time/Incline/Segment Time display will
flash the maximum incline setting for the program
for six seconds, and the Speed/Min-mile display
will flash the maximum speed setting.
The four profiles on the right side of the console
show how the speed and incline of the treadmill
will change during the programs. The numbers
beside the profiles show the maximum speed and
incline settings for the programs.
The program display
will show the first four
speed settings for the
program. The Time/
Incline/Segment Time
display will show how
long the program will
last.
Press the Start button or the Speed
▲▲
button to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will show both the time re-
maining in the program and the time remaining in
the current segment.) One speed setting and one
incline setting are programmed for each segment.
(The same speed setting and/or incline setting may
be programmed for con-
secutive segments.) The
speed setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program dis-
play. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in the program display.) The
speed settings for the next four segments will be
shown in the four columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the
Speed/Min-mile display and/or the Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will flash to alert you, and
three tones will sound. When the first segment is
completed, all speed settings will move one col-
umn to the left. The speed setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-
tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the
speed settings have moved to the left, the speed
settings will move downward so that only the high-
est indicators appear in the LED matrix. If some of
the indicators in the Current Segment column are
not lit when the speed settings move to the left
again, the speed settings will move back up.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time/Incline/Segment Time display. The walk-
ing belt will then slow to a stop.
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. Every few times one of the Speed
buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light
or darken in the Current Segment column. If any of
the columns to the right of the Current Segment
column have the same number of lit indicators as
the Current Segment column, an additional indica-
tor may light or darken in those columns as well.
Important: When the current segment of the
program ends, the treadmill will automatically
adjust to the speed and incline settings for the
next segment.

When you are finished using the treadmill, unplug
the power cord.
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 21) to use a heart rate program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
11.
Select a heart rate program.
When the key is
inserted, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a
heart rate pro-
gram, press the
Program button repeatedly until one of the two
heart rate program indicators lights.
The two profiles on the left side of the console
show how the target heart rate will change during
the programs. The numbers above the profiles
represent percentages of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate. 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 you are 30 years
old, a target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to
95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the heart rate
programs. If you are taking medication regu-
larly, consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
![](asset-f.png)

During heart rate pro-
grams, the program
display will show a
graphic that represents
your heart rate. Each
time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional
peak will appear.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the let-
ters AGE and the current
age setting will begin to
flash in the Calories/
Fat Calories/Heart Rate
display. You must enter your age to use a heart
rate program. If you have already entered your
age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your
age, press the Incline (Age Set) buttons until your
age is shown. Your age will then be saved in mem-
ory.
Adjust the maximum speed limit for the
program.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the let-
ters SPd (speed) and the
maximum speed limit for
the program will flash in
the Speed/Min-Mile dis-
play. If desired, change the maximum speed limit
by pressing the Quick Speed buttons.
Press the Start button or the Speed
▲▲
button to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each heart rate program is divided into one-minute
segments. (The Time/Incline/Segment Time dis-
play will show both the time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg-
ment of the program.) One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. (The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.)
During the program, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the treadmill will automatically increase or de-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-
mum speed limit for the program (see step 5 at
the left) and your heart rate is still too far below
the current target heart rate setting, the incline of
the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too
low, 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 setting, the speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may automatically change to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the Calories/Fat
Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically decrease
until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the
instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 11.
When the program is completed, remove the
key from the console.

upper body arms and move them forward and back as
you walk. Do not move the arms too far to the side. To
vary the intensity of your upper-body exercise, adjust
the resistance of the arms by turning the resistance
knobs.
If you are using the upper body arms and you need
to set them aside for a moment, step onto the foot
grips and set the ends of the arms on the ends of
the crossbar as shown below. Allowing the arms to
come in contact with the console may affect the
operation of the treadmill. Never leave the arms on
the crossbar or the console when the arms are not
in use.
UPPER BODY ARM TROUBLESHOOTING
If the upper body arms do not slide easily, or if they
make a squeaking noise, apply the included lubricant
to the arms in the locations shown below. Slide the
arms up and down several times to spread the lubricant.
To prevent damage to the upper body arms if they are
moved too far sideways, the lower end of each arm

Locate the Reed Switch (18) and the Magnet (101) on
the left side of the Pulley (78). 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”. If necessary, loosen the Screw
(24) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the
Screw. Re-attach the hood, and run the treadmill for a
few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 9.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come 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 3 to
4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, in-
sert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our toll-free Customer Service
Department.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. 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 slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing 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 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 or does not change when iFIT.com
CD’s and videos are played
SOLUTION: a. With the key inserted in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is
changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automati-
cally rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate
the incline.

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
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.
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 the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
