TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKmNG BELT
Your treadmHUfeatures a waUking beUtcoated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high@erformance Uubrbant,
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
DANG ER: Improperconnection
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 wiJl
not fit the outlet, have a proper ouUet
installed by a qualified eJectdcian.
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, aJways use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right}. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your tocaJ REEBOK dealer or call 1-877-994-4999
and order part number 148148.
Use onJy a singJe-ouflet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 tisted as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 voJts or tess
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 jouJes.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 voJts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning property. Failure to
use a propedy functioning surge suppressor could
resutt in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the controJ system is damaged, the
waJking belt may change speed or stop une×pect-
edty, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded, if it should maifunc°
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of ebc°
tric shock, This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, Ptug 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 aH local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCl-equipped outJets.
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,
i-Grounded Outlet Box
_-.l _ Surge Suppressor
_J.. Grounding Pin
_rounded Outlet Box
Adapter Surge Suppressor
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician,
The greemcolored 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-poJe receptacle outJet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to 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
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even mea-
sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23).
The console also offers six personal trainer programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered.
Each program adjusts the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate
while you exercise. You can even create custom pro-
grams and save them in memory for future workouts.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a
personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal
trainer coaches you through every step of your work-
out. High-energy music provides added motivation. To
purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, cal toll-
free 1-877-994-4999.
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-
tons are soon to be available. See wwwJFIT.com for
more information.
To use the manua! mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a personal trainer
program, see page 12. To use a heart rate program,
see page 14. To create and use a custom program,

EXERCmSE GUIDEUNES
WAFINmNG: Beforebeg no ogth s
or any exercise program, consult your physic
cian. This is especially important for individu=
ais 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.
The following guidelines wiii 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
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.
HEART RATE TRAINING ZONES
AEROBUC 165 155 145 140 130 125
MAX F'A1 BURN 145 138 130 125 118 110 I03
FAT BURN 125 120 115 110 105 95 90
Age 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
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 highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
handgrip pulse sensor, if your heart rate is too high or
too low, adjust the speed or 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 or 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 or 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 or 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 CooFdown--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-
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at bast 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.
