IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

4
21. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
22. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
23. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, press the
power switch into the off position (see the
drawing on page 5 for the location of the
power switch), and unplug the power cord
when the treadmill is not in use.
24. Do not attempt to move the treadmill until it
is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on
page 7 and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE
THE TREADMILL on page 27.) You must be
able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg) to move the
treadmill.
25. When folding or moving the treadmill, make
sure that the storage latch is holding the
frame securely in the storage position. Do
not operate the treadmill while it is folded.
26. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
27. Never insert any object into any opening on
the treadmill.
28. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the treadmill is used.
29. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before clean-
ing the treadmill, and before performing the
maintenance and adjustment procedures
described 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 ser-
vice representative only.
30. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product’s power cord has an
equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended
power cord.
Follow the steps below to plug in the power cord.
1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill.
2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and earthed in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-earthing conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product
is properly earthed. 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.
HOW TO USE THE TREADMILL

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
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 26 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 tablet to the console and use
the iFit®–Smart Cardio Equipment 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 20. To use the man-
ual mode, see page 20. To use an onboard workout,
see page 22. To connect your tablet to the console,
see page 24. To connect your heart rate monitor to
the console, see page 24. To use the settings mode,
see page 25. To use the sound system, see page 25.
To use the tablet holder, see page 26.
Note: The console can display speed and distance
in either miles or kilometers. To change which unit of
measurement is selected, press the Std/Met button on
the console. For simplicity, all instructions in this sec-
tion refer to kilometers.
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 30).

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 18). Next, locate the
power switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power
cord. Press the power
switch into the reset
position.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is
displayed in a store. If the demo mode is turned on,
the screen will show a demo presentation after you
plug in the power cord and press the power switch
into the reset position, before you insert the key. To
turn off the demo mode, see step 2 on page 25.
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
