IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONNECTOR CAN RESULT
IN A RISK OF AN 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 PLUG
WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power. Voltage
spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned
on or off. To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage, always use a dedicated surge protector (not includ-
ed) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single outlet
surge protector with UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with UL suppressed
voltage rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC, 15 amps.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill comes with an electrical cord
with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge pro-
tector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not connect other equipment to the surge protector or this could
cause permanent damage to your treadmill.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrat-
ed in the drawing below.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate
13
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your
target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your
maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart
rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from one person to another, but use
this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For example, the maximum heart rate for an aver-
age 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety
below.
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly against your
neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the number of beats in 10 sec-
onds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your
heart rate at these times; at rest, after warming up, during your workout and two minutes into your cool down,
to accurately track your progress as it relates to better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part of the target
heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.
According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenuous unless you
are in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular
conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop exercising, or if
it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have been too strenuous for your cur-
rent fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of different
factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart
rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can help you determine the exercise
intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHR)
MHR x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHR x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHR)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHR)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your
feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program, you should consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxygen to the mus-
cles and raising body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise
to warm up. The photos on this page show several forms of basic stretching you may perform before your
workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each stretch three times.

Change to MPH or KPH

sists.

Belt Adjustment
18
WARNING! Do not over-tighten rollers! This will cause prema-
ture roller bearing failure!
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for
tension and centering. Your new treadmill comes pre-adjusted from
the factory for tension and centering. Please follow the procedures
below if the belt shifts to the left or right while walking:
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT (Diagram 1)
First, turn treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provid-
ed, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise
direction. Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt
start to correct itself by moving back toward the center. Repeat the
above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be neces-
sary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this proce-
dure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to
the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT (Diagram 2)
First, turn the treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key pro-
vided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clock-
wise direction. Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see
the belt start to correct itself, moving back toward the center. Repeat
the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be
necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this
procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer
below to the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.
WALKING BELT IS SLIPPING DURING USE (Diagram 3)
First, unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex
key provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the
same distance, usually a ¼ turn, in the clockwise direction. Plug the
power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5
mph. You should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still
slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is not
slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to slip.
Note: Turning the hex key counter clockwise brings the rear
rollers and belt towards you.
Turning the hex key clockwise pushes the rear roller and belt
away from you.

Maintenance Instructions
19
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill, always unplug the power cord from
the surge protector.
CLEANING: Routine cleaning of your unit will extend the life of your unit.
WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit is unplugged
from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water damp-
ened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.
WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the
belt and eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION: The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommend-
ed that the walking board be checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance.
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walk-
ing board as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it
feels dry to the touch, lubrication is needed. Keys Fitness recommends “Lube N Walk” for cleaning and lubri-
cating the treadmill belt and deck. Ask your retailer or call Keys Fitness at 888-340-0482. You may also use
silicone such as “Napa 8300” (available at most NAPA Auto Parts stores).
TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD
1) Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the center of the walking
board.
2) Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3) While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board
approximately 6” from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from
the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds
on each side.
4) Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.
WARNING: Do not over-lubricate the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean
towel.
