1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over age 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the incline trainer are ade-
quately informed of all warnings and precau-
tions.
3. Keep the incline trainer indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the incline
trainer in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
4. Place the incline trainer on a level surface,
with at least 2.4 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind
it and 0.6 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place
the incline trainer on a surface that blocks
any air openings. To protect the floor or car-
pet from damage, place a mat under the in-
cline trainer.

OW TO USE A FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The ITNESS TEST programs measure your approxi-
mate VO2max, or aerobic capacity. VO2max is a
measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to
generate energy for endurance activities such as run-
ning and cycling. In technical terms, VO2max is the
maximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your
body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body
weight. A high VO2max indicates a high level of car-
diorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO2
max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physi-
cian.
or the most accurate results, use a ITNESS TEST
program when you are not feeling tired, when you
have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you
have not exercised for at least 24 hours.
The GERKIN ITNESS TEST is completed when your
heart rate stays greater than 85% of your age-pre-
dicted maximum heart rate for 15 seconds, or when
the program reaches 11 minutes. Note: The GERKIN
ITNESS TEST begins with a 3-minute warm-up.
The EBBELING ITNESS TEST is completed in 9 min-
utes.
The REEMOTION ITNESS TEST is completed
when your heart rate reaches greater than 70% of your
age-predicted maximum heart rate, or when the pro-
gram reaches 30 minutes.
ollow the steps below to use a ITNESS TEST pro-
gram.
1. Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included).
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
FITNESS TEST program.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 15.

Press the ITNESS TEST button one, two, or three
times to select the GERKIN IT TEST, the EBBEL-
ING IT TEST, or the REEMOTION IT TEST.
When a ITNESS TEST program is selected, the
name of the ITNESS TEST will appear in the
main display. The words ENTER AGE and the cur-
rent age setting will then be shown.
During a ITNESS TEST program, the matrix will
show a moving graphic that represents your heart
rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an addi-
tional peak will appear in the graphic.
4. Enter your age.
See step 3 on page 16.
5. Enter your weight.
See step 4 on page 17.

handrails and begin walking.
Each ITNESS TEST is divided into several seg-
ments of different lengths. One speed setting and
one incline setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. The console will guide you through the IT-
NESS TEST and record your heart rate input to de-
termine your relative fitness level.
When the GERKIN ITNESS TEST is completed,
the walking belt will slow to a stop and your VO2
max and your fitness level will be shown in the
main display. Note: There are 11.4 fitness levels;
fitness level 11.4 is the highest.
When the EBBELING ITNESS TEST is com-
pleted, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your
VO2max will be shown in the main display.
When the REEMOTION ITNESS TEST is com-
pleted, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your
VO2max and your fitness level will be shown in the
main display. Note: There are ten fitness levels; fit-
ness level 10 is the highest.
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not
function while a ITNESS TEST program is se-
lected. If your pulse is not detected during the pro-
gram, the letters PLS will flash in the main display.
If this occurs, try the program again on another
day. Make sure that you are wearing a chest pulse
sensor as described in step 1 on page 20.
The ITNESS TEST programs cannot be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. However, the pro-
grams can be stopped at any time with the STOP
button. The main display will then show the words
IT TEST ABORTED.

OW TO USE A EART RATE PROGRAM
HEART RATE programs automatically control the
speed and incline of the incline trainer to keep your
heart rate near a target level while you exercise.
ollow the steps below to use a HEART RATE pro-
gram.
1. Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included).
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
EART RATE program.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 15.
3. Select a EART RATE program.
Press the HEART RATE button one, two, or three
times to select the CONSTANT HEART RATE,
VARIABLE HEART RATE, or AT BURN program.
Note: The CONSTANT HEART RATE program will
keep your heart rate near a percentage that you
select. The VARIABLE HEART RATE program will
keep your heart rate within a target range during
your workout. The AT BURN program will keep
your heart rate near 65% of your age-predicted
maximum heart rate (see step 7 at the right for an
explanation of your age-predicted maximum heart
rate).
When a HEART RATE program is selected, the
name of the program will appear in the main dis-
play. The words ENTER AGE and the current age
setting will then be shown.
During HEART RATE programs, the matrix will
show a moving graphic that represents your heart
rate. Each time a heartbeat is detected, an addi-
tional peak will appear in the graphic.
4. Enter your age.
See step 3 on page 16.
5. Enter your weight.
See step 4 on page 17.
If you have selected the VARIABLE EART
RATE program, continue to step 6. If you have
selected the CONSTANT EART RATE pro-
gram, skip to step 7. If you have selected the
FAT BURN program, skip to step 8.
6. Enter a minimum target heart rate setting.
The words MIN PERCENT and the minimum target
heart rate setting for the program will be shown in
the main display. If desired, you can change the
minimum target heart rate setting by pressing the +
and – buttons beside the ENTER button. The but-
tons can be held down to change the minimum
heart rate setting quickly. Then, press the ENTER
button.
7. Enter a target heart rate setting.
The words MAX PERCENT and the target heart
rate setting for the program will be shown in the
main display. The target heart rate setting repre-
sents a percentage of your age-predicted maxi-
mum heart rate. Your age-predicted maximum
heart rate is 220 minus your age. or example, if
you are 30 years old, your age-predicted 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).
