HOW TO USE THE TREADMILL

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

Use a Surge SuppressorYour treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be 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 risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge suppressor, see precaution 14 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 electrically rated for 120 voltsAC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate 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 tousers. Plugin the Power CordThe treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.The treadmill power cord has a plug with a grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).DANGER: Improper connection of the power cord increases the risk of electric 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.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: If the treadmill is connected to an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker trips repeatedly when the treadmill is used, see the front cover of this manual to purchase an arc filter.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the surge suppressor 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 qualified 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.

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 consolea. The console features a display demo mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is displayed in a store. If the displays remain lit when you removethe 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 THESETTINGS MODE on page 23 to turn off the demo mode.SYMPTOM: The displays of the console do not function properlya. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Next, remove the ﬁ ve #8 x 3/4″ Truss Head Screws (31), and carefully pivot the Motor Hood (65) off.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (52) and the Magnet (50) on the left side of the Pulley (49). 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″ Tek Screw(14), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the Tek Screw. Reattach the Motor Hood (not shown), and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctlya. 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. Next, 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 recalibrate the incline system. If the incline system does not begin calibrating, press the Stop button again, and then press the Incline increase or decrease button again. When the incline system is calibrated, remove the key from the console.

SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked ona. Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the speciﬁ cations described on page 17.b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance 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 walking belt is properly tightened.c.

If the walking belt has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the left idler roller screw clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left idler roller screw counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt.Then, 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 hex key, turn both idler roller screws clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly 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 carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning, this or any exercise program, consult your physician. 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 determining heart rate trends in general.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 INTENSITYWhether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results.You can use your heart rate as a guide to finding 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 nearest 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 exercise 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 an 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 GUIDELINESWarming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching 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 minutes 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 yourbreath.Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.EXERCISE FREQUENCYTo 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 exercise, 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.
