OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into an
appropriate outlet that Is properly Installed and grounded In accordance 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 electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product--if it will not fit the out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product isfor use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Drawing 1.
Atemporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Drawing 2 may be used to connect this
plugto a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Drawing 1) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigidear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to
determine if the outlet box cover Is grounded before using an adapter.

PROGRAM OPERATION
In the program mode, the console will automatically control either the speed or the incline of the treadmill.
The console offers a selection of preset programs, each designed to guide you through a different type
of workout. In addition, you can create custom programs, and save them in memory for future workouts,
CREATING A CUSTOM PROGRAM
Press the CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 button. The indicator on the button you press will light.
Press the MODE button to select the WALK, RUN or INCLINE mode. An indicator will light to show
which mode you have selected. If you select the WALK mode, the speed range of the treadmill will be
1.0 mile per hour to 3.6 miles per hour during the program. If you select the RUN mode, the speed
range of the treadmill will be 3.0 miles per hour to 9.5 miles per hour during the program. If you select
the INCLINE mode, the incline range of the treadmill will be 1% to 12% during the program.
All programs are divided into twenty equal time periods, called segments. If the WALK or RUN mode
was selected, a speed setting should now be programmed for each of the twenty segments. If the
INCLINE mode was selected, an incline setting should now be programmed for each segment. The
segments are displayed in the vertical columns of indicators on the left side of the console. Seven seg-
ments are displayed at a timewthe current segment, and the next six future segments. The lighted indi-
cators in each column show the speed or incline setting that is programmed for the segment displayed.
To program a setting for the first segment, displayed in the CURRENT SEGMENT column, press the
SEGMENT increase and decrease buttons. Each time the SEGMENT increase button is pressed, an
additional indicator in the CURRENT SEGMENT column will light. Each time the SEGMENT decrease
button is pressed, an additional indicator will darken. The M.P.H. scales on the left side of the column,
or the PERCENT OF GRADE scale on the right side of the column, will show the setting you have pro-
grammed. After you have programmed a setting for the first segment, press the SEGMENT left button.
The first segment wilt disappear, and the second segment will be displayed in the CURRENT SEG-
MENT column. Program a speed or incline setting for the second segment in the same manner. After
you have programmed a setting for the second segment, press the SEGMENT left button again. The
second segment will disappear, and the third segment will be displayed in the CURRENT SEGMENT
column. Repeat until you have programmed a speed or incline setting for all twenty segments.
The two lighted indicators in the column to the left of the CURRENT SEGMENT column show the
speed or incline range of the program--the lower indicator shows the minimum setting, and the upper
indicator shows the maximum setting. As you program speed or incline settings, the two indicators will
move up or down to show the minimum and maximum settings you have programmed. If desired, the
difficulty level of the entire program can be changed by pressing the FITNESS LEVEL buttons. If the
WALK mode was selected, the speed settings of all segments will change by 0.2 miles per hour each
time one of the buttons is pressed. If the RUN mode was selected, the speed settings will change by
0.5 miles per hour each time one of the buttons is pressed. If the INCLINE mode was selected, the
incline settings will change by 1% each time one of the buttons is pressed. 7

Next, set the length of time you want the program to last by pressing the TIME buttons. The length of
time will be displayed in the TIME display. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the length of time
will change by ten seconds. The buttons can be held down to change the length of time rapidly. The
program can be set to last for a minimum of 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 80 minutes. (The length of
time each segment will last will be displayed in the SEGMENT TIMER display. Each segment will last
for 1/20 of the length of time shown in the TIME display.)
To start the program, press the PROGRAM START button. The first segment will be displayed in the
CURRENT SEGMENT column, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed or incline
setting. Hold the handrails, step carefully onto the walking belt and begin your workout. The time
remaining in the first segment will be shown in the SEGMENT TIMER display. When no time remains,
the first segment will disappear, the second segment will be displayed in the CURRENT SEGMENT
column, and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the second setting. The program will continue in
this manner until all twenty segments have been displayed. A tone will then sound, the walking belt will
slow to a stop and the program will be completed. (If the WALK or RUN mode was selected, the
incline can be controlled during the program by pressing the INCLINE buttons. If the INCLINE mode
was selected, the walking belt will begin to move at 1.0 mile per hour when the program is started. The
speed of the walking belt can be controlled during the program by pressing the SPEED buttons.)
While the program is running, the setting of the current segment can be changed, if desired, by pressing
the SEGMENT increase and decrease buttons. If desired, the difficulty level of the entire program can
be changed by pressing the FITNESS LEVEL buttons. The length of time the program will last can be
changed by pressing the TIME buttons. To stop the program before the program has ended, press the
STOP bar. The console will then be in the same state as if the program had been completed.

gradually until it is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise. You can measure your heart
rate using the pulse mode of the console. 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.
AWARNING: The pulse earclip Is not a medical device. Various factors, Including your
movement during exercise, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The earcllp is Intend-
ed only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends In general.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should consist of three basic parts: a warm-up, 20 to 30 minutes of training zone exercise,
and a cool-down. Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increasing circulation,delivering more
oxygen to the muscles and raisingthe body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretchingand lightexercise to warm up. Then, increase the intensityof your exercise to raise your heart
rate to your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. Breathe regularlyand deeply as you exercisemnever
holdyour breath. Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase
the flexibility of your muscles as well as help to decrease soreness and other post-exercise problems.
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. The key to success is CONSISTENCY. 13
