OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, 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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call
1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
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 indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed 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 treadmill 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 to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The
included hand weights can be used to add upper-body
exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create
your own custom workout programs and store them in
memory for future use.
In addition, the console offers a fitness test program
that measures your relative fitness level and a pulse-
driven program that automatically adjusts the speed
and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near
a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness
test program and the pulse-driven program require the
use of an optional chest pulse sensor (see page 24).
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (iFIT.com CDs are avail-
able separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically
control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per-
sonal trainer guides you through every step of your
workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.
Each CD features two programs designed by certified
personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-
cess basic programs, audio programs, and video pro-
grams directly from the internet. Additional options are
soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-
free 1-800-735-0768. For information about an optional
chest pulse sensor, see page 24.

Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. The Time display
shows both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment. One
speed setting and one incline setting are pro-
grammed for each seg-
ment. The speed setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the program dis-
play. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in
the program display.) The speed settings for the
next twelve segments will be shown in the twelve
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
tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill is about to change, the
Speed/Pace display and/or the Incline display will
flash to alert you, and three tones will sound.
When the first segment is completed, all speed
settings will move one column to the left. The
speed setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the
speed and incline settings for the second segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time display. The walking belt will then slow
to a stop.
Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed
settings move to the left, if all of the indicators in
the Current Segment column are lit, the speed set-
tings may move downward so that only the highest
indicators in the columns will appear in the pro-
gram display. When the speed settings move to
the left again and some indicators in the Current
Segment column are dark, the speed settings will
move back up.
If the speed or incline setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons on the console. Every few times
one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional
indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment
column. If any of the columns to the right of the
Current Segment column have the same number
of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,
an additional indicator may light or darken in those
columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the
speed setting so that all of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings
in the program display will not move downward as
described above. Note: If you manually override
the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment, when the segment ends the treadmill will
automatically adjust to the speed and incline
settings for the next segment.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. The Time display will begin to flash. To

program is completed, all speed settings will move
one column to the left and the Distance/Laps dis-
play will show an “L 2,” indicating that the second
4-minute segment has begun. The incline will then
adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5
mph. When the second 4-minute segment is com-
pleted, the speed settings will again move one
column to the left and the Distance/Laps display
will show an “L 3.” The incline will remain the
same, but the speed will then increase to 3.3 mph.
At the beginning of each 4-minute segment, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the
current 4-minute segment is completed. The fit-
ness test program will then be completed, regard-
less of how many segments remain.
When the fitness test
program is completed,
the letter “C” will appear
in the Distance/Laps dis-
play, indicating that the
2-minute cool-down seg-
ment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 1%
and the speed will decrease to 1.2 mph.
