manual should be performed by an authorized

service representative only.

5. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment while exercising, may affect the accura-

cy of heart rate readings. The sensor is

Intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

6. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrail when exercising on the treadmill.

14. When the PULSE mode of the console is

selected, the console will control the speed

and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart

rate at a preset level, if you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and

4_Pulse Sensor Wire

HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR

The EXPANSE 2000 treadmill features a unique

headband-style pulse sensor. The rubber-armored

pulse sensor and lightweight headband are specially

designed for greater accuracy, comfort and durability.

To get the best performance from the pulse sen-

sor, please read the following Instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

In order for the pulse sensor to function, the head-

band must be propedy adjusted. The headband ,

should fitsnugly around your head, without being

uncomfortable. To adjust the headband, slip itoff the

adjustment tab on the pulsesensor. Insert the adjust-

ment tab through a different hole in the headband.

_=<,,-'__AdjlUb stment

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSESENSOR

Rub your forehead for amoment to stimulate cimula-

tion. Put on the headband as shown below, with the

sensor window centered on your forehead. Make sure

that there is no hair between the sensor window and

your forehead. IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-

up, the pulse sensor should be worn only while

you are standing on the treadmill.

Attach to the pulse sensor wire to your collar with the

clothes clip. The clip will minimize movement of the

wire, helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

hOW TO OBTAIN ACCURATE PULSE READINGS

To learn how to use the pulse sensor with the con-

sole, see HOW TO USE THE PULSE DISPLAY on

page 10. To ensure the best results, remember the

following important guidelines:

• Before puffingon the headband, rub your forehead

for a moment to stimulate circulation.

Make sure that the headband is propedy adjusted.

If the headband is too tight or too loose, your pulse

may not be detected.

The headband must be worn propedy---the sensor

window should be centered on your forehead, and

there should be no hair between the sensor win-

dow and your forehead. Make-up applied to the

forehead may also interfere with pulse readings.

Note: Ifthe pulse sensor does not function when

the sensor window iscentered on your forehead,

try positioningthe sensor window over your right or

left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of your fore-

head, itmay be easier to detect your pulse from a

slightlydifferent position.

•Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully

plugged into the jack on the console.

•Avoid excessive head movement dudng exercise.

Clean the sensor window about once each week

when the treadmill is used regularly. Using a cotton

swab moistened with water, Carefullywipe the sen-

sor window.

Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse

sensor willsample and average your pulse every

few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sen-

sor, it may be necessary to wait for up to ten sec-

onds before an accurate pulse is shown.

HOW TO CLEAN THE PULSESENSOR

Sensor

To clean the headband, first remove it from the pulse

sensor. Hand wash the headband in mild detergent,

and gently wdng itout.

The pulse sensor can be wiped clean with a damp

cloth; never immerse the pulse sensor in water.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING BELT

This treadmill features a maintenance-free walking

belt. Never apply silicone spray or other sub-

stances to the walking beltor the walking plat-

form; they will deteriorate the walking belt and

cause excessive wear.

HOW TO ADJUSTTHE CUSHION LEVELOF THE LEGS

The legs at the back of the treadmill are designed to

absorb shock as you walk or run on the treadmill. The

cushion level of the legs can be adjusted to the level

that is the most comfortable for you.

For a softer cushion level,turn the cushion knob

Counterclockwise(see the drawing below). For a

firmer cushion level, tum the knob clockwise. Note:

The faster you run on the treadmill, the firmer the

cushion level should be. Ifthe cushion level is too

soft, the treadmill will bounce excessively.

Cushion

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be grounded. If it should mal-

function or break down, groundingprovides a path of

least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk

of electric shock.

This product is equipped with acord having an equip-

ment-greunding conductor and a grounding plug.

Plug the power cord Into an appropriate outlet

that is properly Installed and grounded In accor-

dance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a

risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified elec-

trician or serviceman if you are in doubt asto

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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your

exemise program. For more information, consultyour

physician or obtain a reputable book about exercise.

Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are

essential for successful results.

WARNING: Beforebeginning this or

any exercise program, consult your physician.

This is especially Important for individuals over

the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing

health problems.

EXERCISEINTENSITY

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important

toexercise with the proper intensity.The proper inten-

sit,/level can be found by usingyour heart rate as a

guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate

should be maintained at a level between 70% and

85% of your maximum heart rate as you exemise.

This is known as your training zone.

You can find your training zone in the tables below.

Training zones are listedfor bothunconditioned and

conditioned persons according to age.

85 118-144 114-139

Duringthe first few months of yourexercise program,

keep your heart rate near the low end of your training

zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular

exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually

until it is near the middle of your training zone as you

exercise. You can measure your heart rate using the

pulse sensor. Exercise for at least four minutes, and

then measure your heart rate immediately. If your

heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your

exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the

intensity of your exercise.

kWAR NING: Thepulse sensor isnota

medical device. Various factors, including your

movement during exercise, may affect the accura-

cy of heart rate readings. The sensor is intended

only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should consist ofthree basic pads: a

warm-up, 20 to 30 minutes oftraining zone exercise,

and a cool-down.

Warming up prepares the bodyfor exercise by

increasing circulation, deliveringmore oxygen to the

muscles and raisingthe bodytemperature. Begin

each workout with 5 to 10 minutesof stretching and

light exercise to warm up.

Next, increase the intensity ofyour exercise to raise

your heart rate to your training zone for 20 to 30 min-

utes. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--

never hold your breath.

Finisheach workout with 5 to 10 minutes ofstretching

to cool down. This will increasethe flexibilityofyour

muscles as well as help to decrease soreness and
