GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
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 product must 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 the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
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 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 productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.

CONSOLE OPERATION
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. 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 LED displays
will provide continuous exercise feedback. The console
also offers six preset workout programs: four programs
automatically control the speed of the treadmill and
two programs automatically control the incline of the
treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts.
You can even create your own workout programs and
store them in memory for future use.
In addition, the console features exclusive Personal
Trainer programs. Simply mail the included personal
profile to E-Coach¨. A personal trainer will send you
instructions for selecting a Personal Trainer program
designed to help you reach your specific fitness goals.
Two optional pulse sensors add even more features to
the console. An optional hand pulse sensor mounts to
the handlebar in front of the console, allowing you to
measure your heart rate at any time as you exercise.
Or, an optional chest pulse sensor can be worn during
your workouts, for hands-free heart rate monitoring. To
purchase one of the optional pulse sensors, refer
to page 15.
Note: The console can display speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers (see page 11). For
convenience, all instructions in this section refer
to miles.
CAUTION: Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power or starting the walking belt.
¥ Always wear the clip (see H above) while
operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled
from the console, the walking belt will stop.
¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds;
adjust the speed in small increments.
¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the
console dry. Avoid spilling liquid on the
console and use only a sealable water bottle.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exer-
cise program. For more information about exercise,
consult your physician or obtain a reputable book.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether you want to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you can tailor your exercise to
your specific goals. The key to achieving the desired
results is to exercise with the proper intensity. As you
exercise, your heart rate should be kept at a level be-
tween 70% and 85% of your maximum possible heart
rate. This is known as your training zone. You can find
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
are listed according to age and physical condition.
To measure your heart
rate, stop exercising
and place two fingers
on your wrist as
shown. Take a six-sec-
ond heartbeat count,
and multiply the result
by ten to find your
heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your
heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If
your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed
or incline of the treadmill accordingly.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During
the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily
accessible 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, keep your heart rate near the low end of your
training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
keep your heart rate near the middle of your training
zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three parts: (1) a warm-
up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.
Warming UpÑBegin each workout with five to ten
minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. A
proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart
rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone ExerciseÑAfter warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. Breathe regu-
larly and deeply as you
exerciseÑnever hold your breath.
Cooling DownÑEnd each workout with five to ten
minutes of stretching to cool down. This will develop
muscle flexibility and will help to prevent post-exercise
problems.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may complete
up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to
success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35 or individuals
with pre-existing health problems.
