WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 2.5 m (8 ft) of clearance behind it and
0.5 m (2 ft) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on a surface that blocks any air
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the treadmill at all times.
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons
weighing more than 158 kg (350 lbs).
8. Never allow more than one person on the
treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes
that could become caught in the treadmill.
Athletic support clothes are recommended
for both men and women. Always wear ath-
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see page
11), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-
cuit. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. When replacing the fuse, an
ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted
to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be
used.
11. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-
faces.
12. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the

21. When using iFIT cards, an electronic “chirp-
ing” sound will alert you when the speed
and/or incline of the treadmill is about to
change. Always listen for the “chirp” and be
prepared for speed and/or incline changes. In
some instances, the speed and/or incline may
change before the personal trainer describes
the change.
22. When using iFIT cards, you can manually
override the speed and incline settings at any
time by pressing the speed and incline but-
tons. owever, when the next “chirp” is
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to
the next settings of the program.
23. Always remove iFIT cards from the iFIT slot
when you are not using them.
24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill every three months.
25. Never drop or insert any object into any open-
ing on the treadmill.
26. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord immediately after use, before cleaning
the treadmill, and before performing the main-
tenance and adjustment procedures de-
scribed 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 service
representative only.
27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor-
mance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex key and your own Phillips screwdriver .
For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,
check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for
assembly.

OW TO PUT ON T E C EST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-
ing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle
on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the
front of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
chest pulse sensor
around your chest,
and attach the
other end of the
chest strap to the
sensor unit. Adjust
the length of the
chest strap, if nec-
essary. The chest
pulse sensor
should be under your clothes, tight against your skin,
and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as
is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor
unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so-
lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.
C EST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
essary, draining the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below
-10° C (14° F).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
C EST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLES OOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as de-
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within armʼs length of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work for
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
the back cover of this manual).
