Operation and Adjustment

The Pre-Lubricated Walking Belt

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or platform, as this will deteriorate the belt and cause excessive wear.

How to Plug in the Power Cord

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt about grounding.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug. Use a surge suppressor with the treadmill. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate, properly installed and grounded outlet. The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available, but it should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The adapter's grounding feature must be connected to a permanent ground.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed (TVSS), with a suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. It must be rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps, and have a monitoring light.

Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could damage the control system, leading to unexpected belt speed changes and potential injury.

Console Diagram and Features

The console offers features for effective and enjoyable workouts. In manual mode, you can change speed and incline with buttons. The console displays exercise feedback, and you can measure heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor or an optional chest pulse sensor.

The console includes six interactive cross trainer workouts (guided by a personal trainer's voice), which automatically control speed and incline. These workouts help burn calories, enhance cardiovascular health, and tone muscles. They may also prompt strength exercises using dumbbells and an exercise ball (not included).

Distance workouts count down for 5K or 10K runs. Four preset workouts automatically control speed and incline for effective training.

To turn on power, follow steps on page 13. For manual mode, see page 13. For cross trainer workouts, see page 16. For distance workouts, see page 18. For preset workouts, see page 19.

Troubleshooting

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. If further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this manual.

Exercise Guidelines

WARNING: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect heart rate readings. It is intended only as an exercise aid for determining heart rate trends.

Exercise Intensity

Exercising at the proper intensity is key to achieving results, whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your cardiovascular system. Use your heart rate as a guide.

Heart Rate Chart: Find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages rounded to nearest ten years). The three numbers above your age indicate your "training zone": lowest for fat burning, middle for maximum fat burning, and highest for aerobic exercise.

• Burning Fat: Exercise at a low intensity for a sustained period. Your body uses carbohydrate calories first, then stored fat calories. For fat burning, aim for a heart rate near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, aim for the middle number.
• Aerobic Exercise: To strengthen your cardiovascular system, perform aerobic exercise (activity requiring large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods). Aim for a heart rate near the highest number in your training zone.

Workout Guidelines

• Warming up: Start with 5-10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to increase body temperature, heart rate, and circulation.
• Training Zone Exercise: Exercise for 20-30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (For the first few weeks, limit training zone exercise to 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply; never hold your breath.
• Cooling down: Finish with 5-10 minutes of stretching to increase muscle flexibility and prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve condition, complete three workouts per week with at least one rest day between workouts. After a few months, you may increase to five workouts per week. Consistency is key to making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your life.

Suggested Stretches

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the original diagrams. Move slowly when stretching; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch: Stand with knees bent slightly, bend forward from hips, reaching toward toes. Hold for 15 counts, relax, repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, back.
2. Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward your inner thigh. Reach toward toes. Hold for 15 counts, relax, repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch: Stand with one leg in front of the other, hands against a wall. Keep back leg straight, back foot flat. Bend front leg, lean forward, hips toward wall. Hold for 15 counts, relax, repeat 3 times for each leg. To stretch Achilles tendons further, bend the back leg. Stretches: Calves, Achilles tendons, ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch: Stand with one hand against a wall for balance. Reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring heel close to buttocks. Hold for 15 counts, relax, repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps, hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch: Sit with soles of feet together, knees outward. Pull feet toward groin. Hold for 15 counts, relax, repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps, hip muscles.
