OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
P RFORMANT LUB TM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or o her
subs ances o he walking bel or he walking pla -
form. They will de eriora e he walking bel 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 re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease he pos-
sibili y of your read-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
pro ec or (no in-
cluded) wi h your
readmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This produc mus be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug he power cord in o a surge
pro ec or, and plug he surge pro ec or in o an ap-
propria e ou le ha is properly ins alled and
grounded in accordance wi h all local codes and
ordinances. Impor an : The readmill is no com-
pa ible wi h GFCI-equipped ou le s.
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 protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let 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 recep acle ou le box
covers are no grounded. Con ac a qualified elec-
rician o de ermine if he ou le box cover is
grounded before using an adap er.
DANGER:Improper connec ion
of he equipmen -grounding conduc or can
resul in an increased risk of elec ric shock.
Check wi h a qualified elec rician or service-
man if you are in doub as o whe her he
produc is properly grounded. Do no modify
he plug provided wi h he produc —if i will
no fi he ou le , have a proper ou le in-
s alled by a qualified elec rician.

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 the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor is used.
The console also offers four preset workout programs.
ach program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. If you purchase the optional chest pulse
sensor, the console’s two pulse programs can also be
used. ach program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a preset
range during your workouts.
The console also features advanced iFIT.com technol-
ogy. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal
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 (one CD is included). IFIT.com
CD programs automatically control the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. ach CD features two pro-
grams designed by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (one video-
cassette is included). Video programs offer the same
benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excite-
ment 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 new internet site at www.iFIT.com
and access basic programs that interactively control
the speed and incline of your treadmill to help you
achieve your specific exercise goals. Or, use iFIT.com
audio and video programs directly from our internet
site. Visit www.iFIT.com for more information.
See www.iFIT.com to learn about other iFIT.com fea-
tures. To purchase iFIT.com CD’s, iFIT.com video-
casse es, call oll-free 1-888-936-4266. For informa-

maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to
85% of your maximum possible heart rate (your
maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your
age); 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 maxi-
mum possible heart rate is an estimate only.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maxi-
mum possible heart rate is 190 (220 minus 30
equals 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is se-
lected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from
123 to 161 (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of 190 is 161).
