OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
The Incline Trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to the
walking belt or the walking platform. Such sub-
stances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause
excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
The Incline Trainer, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
the Incline Trainer being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with the Incline Trainer (see
drawing 1 at the right).
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The
surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120
volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring
light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it
is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly
functioning surge suppressor could result in dam-
age to the control system of the Incline Trainer. If
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The Incline Trainer is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to 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 rigid ear, 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 elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of 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 it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features designed to help you get the most from your
exercise. When the manual mode of the console is se-
lected, the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer can
be changed with the touch of a button. As you exer-
cise, the console will provide continuous exercise feed-
back. You can even measure your heart rate using the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sen-
sor (see page 27).
The console also offers five speed programs and ten
incline programs. Each program automatically controls
the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer as it guides
you though an effective workout. You can even create
your own custom workout programs and store them in
memory for future use.
In addition, the console offers four pulse programs that
automatically adjust the speed and incline of the
Incline Trainer to keep your heart rate near a target
level while you exercise. Note: The pulse programs re-
quire the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the Incline Trainer to your home
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
IFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer as a per-
sonal trainer coaches you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call
the toll-free telephone number on the front cover
of this manual.
With the Incline Trainer connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access iFIT.com programs directly from the internet.
See www.iFIT.com for more information.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 13. To use a speed program
or an incline program, see page 16. To create and
use a custom program, see pages 18 and 19. To use
a pulse program, see page 20. To use an iFIT.com
CD or video program, see page 24. To use an
iFIT.com program directly from our Web site, see
page 26.
Note: During the first few minutes that the Incline
Trainer is used, observe the alignment of the walking
belt, and align it if necessary (see page 31).
Note: If there are sheets of
clear plastic on the console,
remove the plastic.

Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the op-
tional chest pulse
sensor, see the in-
structions included
with the chest
pulse sensor. To
use the handgrip
pulse sensor, see
the instructions
below. Note: If there are sheets of clear plastic on
the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor,
remove the plastic. If you use the optional chest
pulse sensor and the handgrip pulse sensor at the
same time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and place your hands on the metal contacts
on the handgrip pulse sensor. Your palms must be
resting on the contacts closest to you, and your
fingers must be touching the contacts on the op-
posite side of the handgrip pulse sensor—avoid
moving your hands. When your pulse is detected,
the Pulse indicator above the Fat Calories/
Calories/Pulse display will light, one or two dashes
(– –) will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, continue to hold the con-
tacts for about 15 seconds.
Turn on the fans if desired.
To turn on the fans at low speed, press the button
near the left fan. To turn on the fans at high

HOW TO USE A SPEED PROGRAM OR AN
INCLINE PROGRAM
The console offers five speed programs and ten incline
programs. All 15 programs automatically control the
speed and the incline of the Incline Trainer as they
guide you through effective workouts. Speed programs
regulate the intensity of your exercise primarily by
varying the speed of the walking belt, although they
also vary the incline; incline programs primarily vary
the incline, although they also vary the speed.
Follow the steps below to use a speed program or an
incline program.
Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
13.
Select a speed program or an incline program.
To select a
speed program,
press the Speed

cline program,
press the Incline
Programs/Pulse
button repeatedly.
As each incline
program is se-
lected, the Incline indicator will light and a profile of
the incline settings of the selected program will
scroll across the matrix.
For a few seconds after a speed program or an in-
cline program is selected, the maximum speed
setting for the program will flash in the Speed/
Pace display, and the maximum incline setting for
the program will flash in the Incline/Elevation dis-
play. The Time/Distance display will show how
long the program will last.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the Incline
Trainer will automatically adjust to the first speed
and incline settings for the program. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
Each program is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One speed setting and one incline setting
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
If a speed pro-
gram is selected,
the speed setting
for the first seg-
ment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
incline settings will not be shown in the matrix.)
The speed settings for the next seven segments
will be shown in the columns to the right. If an in-
cline program is selected, the incline setting for
the first segment will be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column of the matrix. (The
speed settings will not be shown in the matrix.)
The incline settings for the next seven segments
will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the Incline Trainer is about to change, the
Speed/Pace display and/or the Incline/Elevation
display will flash to alert you. When the first seg-
ment ends, all speed settings or incline settings
will move one column to the left. The setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the Incline Trainer
will automatically adjust to the speed and incline
settings for the second segment. Note: If all of the
indicators in the Current Segment column are lit
after the settings have moved to the left, all set-
tings will move downward so that only the highest
lit indicators appear in the matrix. If some of the in-
dicators in the Current Segment column are not lit
when the settings move to the left again, all set-
tings will move back up.
