HOW TO USE THE TREADMILL
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
Use a Surge Suppressor
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s
power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interfer-
ence can result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge
suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge
suppressor, see precaution 14 on page 3.
Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a
transient voltage surge suppressor (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 also be electri-
cally 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
and serious injury to users.
Plug in the Power Cord
The treadmill 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. The treadmill power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).
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. The outlet must be on a
nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do
not plug other electrical devices, except for low-
power devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same
circuit. IMPORTANT: If the treadmill is connected to
an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker
trips repeatedly when the treadmill is used, see the
front cover of this manual to purchase an arc filter.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
surge sup-
pressor to
a 2-pole
receptacle
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box
cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the power cord increases the risk of elec-
tric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will
not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure
whether the treadmill is properly grounded,
contact a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you use the manual mode, you can
change the speed and incline of the treadmill with the
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will dis-
play instant exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor
or a compatible heart rate monitor. (See page 22 for
information about purchasing an optional chest
heart rate monitor.)
In addition, the console features a selection of onboard
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you
through an effective exercise session.
You can also connect your smart device to the console
and use an iFit® app to record and track your workout
information.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console’s sound system while you
exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 18. To use the man-
ual mode, see page 18. To use an onboard workout,
see page 20. To connect your smart device to the
console, see page 22. To connect your heart rate
monitor to the console, see page 22. To use the set-
tings mode, see page 23. To use the sound system,
see page 23.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of mea-
surement is selected, see THE SETTINGS MODE on
page 23. For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of plastic on the
console, remove the plastic. To prevent damage
to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes
while using the treadmill. The first time you use
the treadmill, observe the alignment of the walking
belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see
page 27).

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do
not do this, you may damage the console displays
or other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
page 16). Next, locate the
power switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power
cord. Press the power
switch into the reset
position.
Next, stand on the
foot rails of the
treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the
key and slide the
clip onto the waist-
band of your clothes.
Then, insert the key
into the console.
After a moment, the
displays will light.
IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the key can be
pulled from the console, causing the walking belt
to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking
a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from
the console, adjust the position of the clip.
IMPORTANT: Before you use the treadmill, take the
following steps to ensure that the console shows
the correct incline level of the treadmill: First,
press the Incline increase button once. Next, press
either the Incline decrease button or the lowest
numbered incline button to set the treadmill to its
lowest setting. When the frame stops moving, the
treadmill is ready for use.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.
2. Select the manual mode.
If the manual mode is not selected, press the
Manual Control button on the console.
3. Start the walking belt.
To start the walking belt, press the Run button or
one of the numbered speed buttons.
If you press the Run button, the walking belt will
begin to move at 1 mph. As you exercise, change
the speed of the walking belt as desired by press-
ing the Speed increase and decrease buttons.
Each time you press one of the buttons, the speed
setting will change by 0.1 mph; if you hold down
the button, the speed setting will change in incre-
ments of 0.5 mph. Note: After you press the button,
it may take a moment for the walking belt to reach
the selected speed setting.
If you press one of the numbered speed buttons,
the walking belt will gradually change speed until
it reaches the selected speed setting. To select a
speed setting that includes a decimal—such as 3.5
mph—press two numbered buttons in succession.
For example, to select a speed setting of 3.5 mph,
press the 3 button and then immediately press the
5 button. Note: This feature will not function if the
console is set to metric units.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. The
time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the
walking belt, press the Run button or the Speed
increase button.

6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
handgrip heart rate monitor or a compatible heart
rate monitor. For information about purchasing
an optional chest heart rate monitor, see
page 22.
The console is compatible with all BLUETOOTH®
Smart heart rate monitors. To connect your heart
rate monitor to the console, see page 22.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the BLUETOOTH Smart heart rate
monitor will have priority.
Before using
the handgrip
heart rate mon-
itor, remove
the sheets of
plastic from the
metal contacts
on the pulse
bar. In addi-
tion, make
sure that your
hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on
the metal contacts; avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, continue to hold the metal contacts for
about 15 seconds.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
When you are finished using the treadmill, step
onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to zero. The
incline must be at zero or you may damage the
treadmill when you fold it to the storage posi-
tion. Next, remove the key from the console and
put it in a secure place.
Then, press the power switch into the off position
and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you
do not do this, the treadmill’s electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
