1.2 SETUP
Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Summit Trainer.
WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFE FITNESS®SUMMIT TRAINER
Follow all safety instructions in Section 1.1 and move the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to the location in which it will be
used. See Section 7 for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow 1 foot of clearance in front of the Life Fitness Summit
Trainer to allow for movement of the total body arms.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS SUMMIT TRAINER
After placing the Life Fitness Summit-Trainer in position, check the unit for stability by attempting to rock the unit. Any
slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. There are a total of (5) feet on the Summit Trainer for stability. The
(2) rear feet under the rear step should require no adjustment. The (1) middle leveler should be adjusted last and is only
for support, not leveling. Check the (2) front levelers to determine which foot does not rest fully on the floor. Rotate the
foot counter-clockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the unit is stable and no longer
rocks. Lower the middle leveler until it contacts the floor. Lock the adjustment nut on both the (2) front and middle levelers
by tightening the jam nut with a 17 mm wrench.
CHECK FOR POWER
The console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key. The console
should light up, and the MESSAGE CENTER should display a prompt to set up a workout. If this does not occur, mount
the Life Fitness Summit Trainer and begin pedaling. The console should then light up, making it possible to program a
workout. Pedal for 10 to 20 minutes at 0.5 mph (0.8 kph) or faster during a workout to charge the battery. Afterwards, the
pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. If the console still does not light, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services (see page one of this manual for more information).
FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING
Two interchangeable network ports allow the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to be connected to a fitness entertainment sys-
tem or a network, such as FitLinxxTM interactive fitness network.
•Networking: The built-in networking ports allow the unit to exchange workout information with a fitness network
database.
•Fitness Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-
party receiver for use with a service such as the Cardio Theater®entertainment system
or the BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system.
These ports are located on the back of the console and are enclosed by a removable cover.
Any use of the ports for other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2.2 CONSOLE OVERLAY DESCRIPTIONS
A. WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of
intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the
current level of intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE work-
out, which requires the use of a Polar®telemetry heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORK-
OUT PROFILE window displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not
detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS
OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automati-
cally is converted to a MANUAL program.
B. MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it dis-
plays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sen-
sors.
•Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•Speed: the pedaling speed or rate in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour if enabled).
•Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
If configured to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level
changes during the workout:
•Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
•Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
•METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
Note: The Watts display and the Calories per Hour display cannot be turned on at the same time.
C. NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and in-
tensity level. While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target
heart rate in the FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART
RATE workouts. The ARROW keys have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single in-
crements.
D. AEROBICS MODE: Press this key to activate a workout mode in which the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts
that vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups during the workout. It can be used with any workout,
except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL or EXTREME HEART RATE.
E. FIT TEST: Press this key to select the FIT TEST, which measures cardiovascular fitness compared to other people of
the same age and gender.
F. ENTER PIN key: Log on to the FitLinxx Interactive Fitness Network using a dedicated PIN Number. A FitLinxx Interac-
tive Fitness Network shall be supported through the CSAFE console port connector as a CSAFE Compatible Device.
G. ENTER WEIGHT key: Press this key to enter a user weight during a workout. Use the TIME ARROW keys or the
NUMERIC keypad to enter a weight value.
H. ENTER key: Press this key to confirm entries of workout setup values, as displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER.
I. CLEAR key: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before
pressing the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CEN-
TER displays a summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories
burned. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.
J. QUICK START key: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout pro-
gram. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to change the intensity level
or workout duration as desired.
9

K. WORKOUT SELECTION keys: Press any of these keys to select the program identified on the given key’s label.
These programs include: FAT BURN, CARDIO, RANDOM, MANUAL, ZONE TRAINING +, PERSONAL TRAINER,
and HILL PLUS.
L. HEADPHONE JACK: Headphones must be plugged into the Summit Trainer to access the sound for the iPod, TV, or
audio compatible entertainment device. The jack is not a user-replaceable feature. Contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services for more information.
M. ENTER key: Press this key to confirm entries of workout setup values, as displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER.
N. COOL DOWN key: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.
Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this
phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build
up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s
Cool Down level according to the individual user’s performance.
O. LEVEL / TIME WINDOW: This window displays the programmed intensity level and the time elapsed since the start of
the program.
P. START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and dis-
plays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedal-
ing, the console shuts down again.
Note: The Life Fitness Summit Trainer’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the ped-
als and begins pedaling.
Q.ARROW keys: A pair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up
a workout, use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of work-
out, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL)
side of the display changes the target heart rate for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE IN-
TERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts or the intensity level for other workouts.
Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration. Pressing the arrows on
the right (LEVEL) side increases or decreases the intensity level.
Note: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key)
is made to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the
user is at level 6 and presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a
new level. If the change is desired, press ENTER to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to
reset the level to the desired parameter, before the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjust-
ments.
R. iPOD HOLDER: Users can attach an iPod via a 30-pin connector. Use iPod/TV controls to play, or controls on the
iPod itself to select a song or video and begin playing.
Note: If a Life Fitness Attachable TV is not connected, users can view videos on the iPod.
S. iPOD / TV KEYPAD: The keys are used to provide control of the optional entertainment systems (such as a Life
Fitness Attachable TV, iPod, and Cardio Theater). These keys are NOT used for workout programs.

3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to
exercise.
Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription",
8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.
The Life Fitness Summit Trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate
Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILLTM • EXTREME HEART RATETM
• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVALTM
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4 The Workouts.
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the LEVEL arrow keys.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate
chest strap, or grip the LifepulseTM sensors, to enable the Summit Trainer’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate
during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate based on the
actual heart rate.
HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)
Note: Reference the above chart for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life Fitness Summit Trainer.
For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:
• Grasp the sensors (A) firmly.
• Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint.
• Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may
affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and ex-
cessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors.

THE OPTIONAL POLAR®TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Life Fitness Summit Trainer is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes,
pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the console. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry
heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Con-
tact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are
the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of
the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high
under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. How-
ever, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap,
pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.
Note: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are
valid, the on-board computer uses these sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted by the
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap.
