OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WAL ING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. 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 homeʼs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, please
see the back cover of this manual and order part
number 146148, or see your local electronics store.
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 moni-
toring 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. If
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, 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 designed to make your workouts more effec-
tive and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the con-
sole is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill
can be changed with the touch of a button. As you ex-
ercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor. See page 20 for information about the optional
chest pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features twenty-two preset
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you
through an effective exercise session. You can even
create your own custom workouts and save them for fu-
ture use.
The console also features the new iFit interactive work-
out system. The iFit system enables the console to ac-
cept iFit interactive workout cards containing workouts
designed to help you achieve specific fitness goals. For
example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week
Weight Loss workout, or train for a long-distance run
with the Marathon workout. iFit workouts automatically
control the treadmill while the voice of a personal
trainer coaches you through every step of your workout.
iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit
cards, please see the back cover of this manual or
go to www.iFit.com. iFit cards are also available at
select stores.
You can also listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the consoleʼs premium stereo sound
system.
To turn on the power, see page 13. To use the man-
ual mode, see page 13. To use a preset workout, see
page 16. To create and use a custom workout, see
pages 17 and 18. To use an iFit workout, see page

grammed for each segment. Note: The same
speed and/or incline setting may be programmed
for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the
profiles will show your
progress. The flashing
segment of each profile
represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the current
segment indicates the speed or incline setting. At
the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound and the next segments of the profiles will
begin to flash. If a new speed and/or incline setting
is programmed for the next segment, the new
speed and/or incline setting will appear in the dis-
plays for a few seconds. The treadmill will automati-
cally adjust to the new speed and/or incline setting.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment of the workout ends. The walking belt will
then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the workout, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the speed or in-
cline buttons; however, when the next segment
of the workout begins, the treadmill will auto-
matically adjust to the speed and incline set-
tings for the next segment.
To stop the workout at any time, press the
Start/Stop button. To restart the workout, press the
Start/Stop button or the Speed increase button.
The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph.
When the next segment of the workout begins, the

THE INFORMATION MODE
The console features an information mode that keeps
track of the total distance that the walking belt has
moved and the total number of hours that the treadmill
has been used. The information mode also allows you
to select miles or kilometers to measure distance, and
to turn on and turn off the display demo mode.
To select the information mode, hold down the
Start/Stop button while inserting the key into the con-
sole and then release the Start/Stop button. When the
information mode is selected, the following information
will be shown:
The Time display will show
the total number of hours the

An “E” for English miles or an
“M” for metric kilometers will
appear in the Speed display.
Press the Speed increase
button to change the unit of
measurement if desired.
The console features a dis-
play demo mode, designed
to be used if the treadmill is
displayed in a store. While
the demo mode is turned on,
the console will function nor-
mally when you plug in the power cord, switch the
reset/off circuit breaker to the reset position, and insert
the key into the console. However, when you remove
the key, the displays will remain lit, although the but-

HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHIONING SYSTEM
The treadmill features a cushioning system that re-
duces the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill.
To increase the firmness of the walking platform, step
off the treadmill and slide the platform cushions toward
the front of the treadmill. To decrease the firmness,
step off the treadmill and slide the platform cushions
toward the back of the treadmill. Note: It may be help-
ful to lift on the platform as you slide the cushions.
Make sure that both cushions are set at the same
firmness level. The faster you run on the treadmill,
or the more you weigh, the firmer the walking plat-
form should be.
