WARNING:To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place
the treadmill on any surface that blocks air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 275 pounds. Never allow
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women. Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
9. When connecting the power cord (see page
7), plug the power cord into a surge suppres-
sor (not included) and plug the surge sup-
pressor into a grounded circuit capable of
carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit.
10.Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 7. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local HealthRider dealer or call 1-800-806-
3651 and order part number 146148.
11.Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result
in a fall and serious injury.
12.Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
13.Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-
mill is not working properly.)
14.Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
15.The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
16.Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster
than walking speeds. Using hand weights and
not holding the handrails may compromise
your ability to maintain your balance.
Exercises using hand weights should be at-
tempted only by experienced users.
17.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.
18.Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord, and move the on/off switch to
the off position when the treadmill is not in
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-
tion of the on/off switch.)
19.Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 21.)
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
20.When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

21.When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
is about to change. Always listen for the
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-
cline changes. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per-
sonal trainer describes the change.
22. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can
manually override the speed and incline set-
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change
to the next settings of the CD or video program.
23.Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR when you are not
using them.
24.Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill every three months.
25.Never drop or insert any object into any open-
ing.
26.DANGER:Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Never remove the
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an
authorized service representative. Servicing
other than the procedures in this manual
should be performed by an authorized service
representative only.
27.The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
WARNING:Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

3. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the treadmill
to protect the floor or carpet. For your benefit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the TROU-
BLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE section on pages 23 and 24.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled. No tools are required.
Note: The underside of the treadmill 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, the sides of the walking platform, or
the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or
on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

7
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
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
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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local HealthRider dealer or call
1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (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 be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. 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.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored 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-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
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 will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive selection of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, the four displays
will show your workout time, the number of calories
you have burned, the distance you have walked, the
incline level of the treadmill, and the speed of the walk-
ing belt. The console will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the op-
tional chest pulse sensor (see page 20).
The console also offers four preset workout programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and
incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout; the included hand weights can be used for
upper body exercise as well. Two pulse programs are
also offered. Each program automatically adjusts the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate
within a preset range during your workout.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (iFIT.com CDs are avail-
able separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically
control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per-
sonal trainer guides you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
Each CD features two programs designed by certified
personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-
cess basic programs, audio programs, and video pro-
grams directly from the internet. Additional options are
soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-
free 1-800-735-0768.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use preset programs,
see page 12. To use pulse programs, see page 13. To
use iFIT.com CD or video programs, see page 17.
To use iFIT.com programs directly from our Web
site, see page 19.
Note: If there is a thin
sheet of clear plastic
on the face of the
console, remove it.

next five segments will be shown in the five
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
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the
Speed display and/or the Distance/Incline display
will flash to alert you, and three tones will sound.
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.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the final segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt
will then slow to a stop.
Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed
settings move one column to the left, if all of the
indicators in the Current Segment column are lit,
the speed settings will move downward so that only
the highest indicators in the columns will appear in
the program display. When the speed settings
move to the left again and not all of the indicators
in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed
settings will move back up.
If the speed or incline setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons on the console. Every few times
one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional
indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment
column. If any of the columns to the right of the
Current Segment column have the same number
of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,
an additional indicator will light or darken in those
columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the
speed setting so that all of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings
in the program display will not move downward as
described above. When the current segment of
the program ends, the treadmill will automati-
cally adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the next segment.

WARNING:Using hand
weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your
balance. Exercises using hand weights
should be attempted only by experienced
users.
WARNING:If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro-
grams. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Enter a maximum heart rate setting.
After you have
entered your
age, the letters
PLS will appear
in the Pulse/
Calories display.
Press the + or –
button. A number will then appear in the display.
This number is the maximum heart rate setting for
the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the
maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to
85% of your maximum possible heart rate; if Pulse
program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate
setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum
possible heart rate.
Note: Your maximum possible heart rate is esti-
mated by subtracting your age from 220. For ex-
ample, if you are 30 years old, your maximum pos-
sible heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30
= 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is selected,
the maximum heart rate setting can be from 123 to
161 beats per minute (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of
190 is 161).
If you want to change the maximum heart rate set-
ting, press the + and – buttons. The buttons can
be held down to change the setting quickly. When
the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.
Press the Start button or the Speed + 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 for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time segments
of different lengths. The Time/Segment Time dis-
play will show both the time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg-
ment. One target heart rate setting is programmed
for each segment. The heart rate setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program
display. The heart rate
settings for the next five
segments will be shown
in the five 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, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash. When
the first segment is completed, all heart rate set-
tings will move one column to the left. The heart
rate setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will
change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to
the heart rate setting for the second segment.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt
will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if
you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-
cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-
cline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the
speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,
the speed will increase. The treadmill will always
attempt to keep your heart rate near the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the Pulse/Calories dis-
play. In addition, the speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may automatically decrease until your
pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instruc-
tions included with the chest pulse sensor.
Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily
and then restarted. To stop the program at any
time, press the Stop button.
Follow your progress with the four displays.
Refer to step 5 on page 11.
When the program has ended, remove the key.
