ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials; do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the walking belt is coated
with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the
walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there
is lubricant on top of the walking belt, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own phillips screwdriver , rubber
mallet , adjustable wrench , and needlenose pliers .
To identify assembly hardware, see the drawings below. The number in parentheses below each drawing is the
key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 27. The number following the parentheses is the quantity
used in assembly.
To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sili-
cone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug.
Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill.
See drawing 2. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips
in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the
power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter.
Important: Make
sure that the adapter cover is secure and the screw has been
tightened before using the power cord.
See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an in-
creased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly earthed. 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 treadmill console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be
changed with the 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 pulse sensor.
The console also features four preset programs – two
incline based programs and two speed based pro-
grams. Each program automatically controls the speed
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an
effective workout. In addition, the console offers four
calorie goal programs that control the speed and incline
of the treadmill to help you burn unwanted pounds.
The console also offers four heart rate programs that
control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate during your
workouts.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 15. To use a preset
program, see page 17. To use a calorie goal pro-
gram, see page 18. To use a heart rate program,
see page 20.
Note: If there are sheets of clear plastic
on the console, remove the plastic.

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
P
lug in the power cord (see
page 13). Next, locate the
o
n/off switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power
cord. Make sure that the
on/off switch is in the “on”
position.
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Locate the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 14),
and slide the clip securely onto the waistband of your
clothes. Then, insert the key into the console; after a
moment, the display will light.
Important: In an
emergency situation, the key can be pulled from
the console, causing the walking belt to slow to a
stop. Test the clip by carefully taking a few steps
backward; if the key is not pulled from the console,
adjust the position of the clip.
Note: To prevent damage to the walking platform,
always wear clean shoes while using the treadmill. The
first time you use the treadmill, periodically inspect the
alignment of the walking belt, and center it if necessary
(see page 25).
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER above.
Enter your weight if desired.
For the most accurate
calorie count, enter your
weight into the console
by pressing the Weight
increase and decrease
buttons repeatedly. Note:
Once you have entered your weight, your weight
will be saved in memory.
Select the manual mode.
When the
key is in-
serted, the
manual
mode will be
selected. If
you have
selected a program, press one of the programs
buttons repeatedly until a track appears in the dis-
play.
Start the walking belt.
To start the walking belt, press the Start button,
the Speed increase button, or one of the num-
bered speed buttons.
If the Start button or the Speed increase button is
pressed, the walking belt will begin to move at 2
Km/H. As you exercise, change the speed of the
walking belt as desired by pressing the Speed in-
crease and decrease buttons. Each time a button
is pressed, the speed
setting will change by
0.1 Km/H; if a button is
held down, the speed
setting will change in in-
crements of 0.5 Km/H.
If one of the numbered speed buttons is pressed,
the walking belt will gradually increase in speed
until it reaches the selected speed setting.
Note:
The console can display speed and distance in
either kilometers or miles (see THE INFORMA-
TION MODE on page 22). For simplicity, all in-
structions in this section refer to kilometers.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To
restart the walking belt, press the Start button, the
Speed increase button, or one of the numbered
speed buttons.
Note: The first time you use the treadmill, periodi-
cally inspect the alignment of the walking belt, and
center it if necessary (see page 25).
Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of
the treadmill, press the
Incline increase and de-
crease buttons or one of
the numbered incline but-
tons. Each time you press
Incline increase or decrease button, the incline will
change by 0.5%.
If you press one of the numbered incline buttons,
the treadmill will adjust to the selected incline set-
ting. Note: After you press the buttons, it may take
a moment for the treadmill to reach the selected
incline setting.

OW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
All four of the preset programs automatically control
t
he speed and incline of the treadmill to guide you
t
hrough an effective workout. During an incline based
program, the incline of the treadmill will adjust fre-
quently; during a speed based program, the speed of
the walking belt will change frequently.
Insert the key into the console.

Programs
button or the
Speed Based
Programs
button once or twice; “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4”
will appear in the display for a few seconds. When
a preset program is selected, the maximum speed
setting and the maximum incline setting of the
program will flash in the displays for a few sec-
onds and a profile of the speed settings of the pro-
gram will scroll across the matrix
. The display will
also show how long the program will last.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
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 of the program. Hold the handrails

Each program is divided into 30 or 50 one-minute
periods. One speed setting and one incline setting
are programmed for each period. Note: The same
speed setting and/or incline setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.
The speed
setting for
t
he first pe-
riod will be
s
hown in the
flashing
Current
Period column of the matrix in the display. (The in-
cline settings are not shown in the matrix.) The
speed settings for the next four periods will be
shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash and a series
of tones will sound. If the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill is about to change, the speed setting
and/or the incline setting will flash in the display to
alert you.
When the first period is completed,
all speed set-
tings will move one column to the left
. The speed
setting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column and the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the speed and in-
cline settings for the second period. Note: If all five
of the indicators in the Current Period column are
lit,
the speed settings may move downward
so that
only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last period is shown in the
Current Period column and the last period ends.
The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current period
is too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline but-
tons. Every few times a Speed button is pressed,
an additional
indicator will appear or disappear in
the Current Period column; if any of the columns
to the right of the Current Period column have the
same number of lit indicators as the Current
Period column, an additional indicator may appear
or disappear in those columns as well.
Important:
When the current period of the program ends,
the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the next period.

The speed
setting for
t
he first seg-
ment will be
s
hown in the
flashing
Current
Segment column of the matrix. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in the matrix.) The speed set-
tings for the following segments will be shown in
the 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
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed
setting and/or the incline setting will flash in the
display to alert you.
When the first segment is completed,
all speed
settings will move one column to the left
. The
speed setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the second seg-
ment. Note: If all seven of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings
may move downward so that only the highest indi-
cators appear in the matrix.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed and
Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button is
pressed, an additional indicator will appear or dis-
appear in the Current Segment column.
Important: When the current segment of the
program ends, the treadmill will automatically
adjust to the speed and incline settings for the
next segment.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. To restart the program, press the Start but-
t
on or the Speed increase button. The walking belt
will begin to move at 2 Km/H. When the next seg-
m
ent of the program begins, the treadmill will auto-
matically adjust to the speed and incline settings
f
or that segment.
T
he program will continue in this way until the last
segment of the program ends. The walking belt
will then slow to a stop.
Important: The calorie
goal is an estimate of the number of calories
that you will burn during the program. The ac-
tual number of calories that you burn will de-
pend on your weight. In addition, if you manu-
ally change the speed or incline of treadmill
during the program, the number of calories
you burn will be affected.

the maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXER
-
CISE INTENSITY on page 26). Note: If the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting is changed, the in-
tensity level of the entire program will change.
Measure your heart rate.
You do not need to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sors continuously; however, you must hold the
pulse sensors frequently for the heart rate pro-
g
ram to work properly.
See step 7 on page 16.
Press the Start 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 of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
The target
heart rate
setting for
the first pe-
riod will be
shown in the
flashing
Current Period column of the matrix. The target
heart rate settings for the next several periods will
be shown in the columns to the right. When only
three seconds remain in the first period, both the
Current Period column and the column to the right
will flash and a series of tones will sound. In addi-
tion, the speed setting and the incline setting will
flash in the displays to alert you. When the first
period ends,
all target heart rate settings will move
one column to the left.
The target heart rate set-
ting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column.
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 walking belt
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set
-
ting. If the speed of the walking belt reaches 12
Km/H and your heart rate is still too far below the
target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill
will also increase.
