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 eight feet of clearance behind it and two
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill
on any surface that blocks 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 350 pounds.
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 athletic
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 a surge suppressor
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the specifications described on
page 11. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-
825-2588 and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.
12. Failure to use a properly functioning surge
suppressor could result in damage to the con-
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
14. 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
treadmill is not working properly. (See
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the tread-
mill is not working properly.)
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the
handrails while using the treadmill.
16. To protect the treadmill and TV during light-
ning storms, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage due
to lightning and power line surges.
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
18. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit
breaker to the off position when the treadmill
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 6 for
the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)
20. Do not attempt to move the treadmill until it is
properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page
7, and HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on
page 29.) You must be able to safely lift 55
pounds (25 kg) to move the treadmill.
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.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
3

21. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by
placing objects under the treadmill.
22. When using iFIT.com programs, an electronic
“chirping” 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. In some instances, the speed
and/or incline may change before the per-
sonal trainer describes the change.
23. When using iFIT.com programs, you can man-
ually override the speed and incline settings
by pressing the speed and incline buttons.
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the
speed and/or incline will change to the next
settings of the CD or video program.
24. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from
your CD player or VCR and disconnect your
MP3 player when you are not using them.
25. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the
treadmill regularly.
26. Never insert or drop any object into any
opening.
27. 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.
28. The treadmill is intended for in-home use
only. Do not use the treadmill in any commer-
cial, rental, or institutional setting.
29. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected, be sure that the antenna or cable sys-
tem is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode.
30. An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or cir-
cuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits,
as contact with them might be fatal.
31. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not re-
move the cover or the back of the television.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
32. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the treadmill or the television, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to con-
firm that the unit is in proper operating con-
dition.
• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8
AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG
(1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire,
or larger as a ground wire.
• Secure an antenna lead-in and ground wires
to the house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83m)
apart.
• Mount an antenna discharge unit as close
as possible to where the lead-in enters the
house.
• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6
AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent
when a separate antenna-grounding elec-
trode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).
Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer’s at-
tention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu-
lar, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. 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 appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-825-
2588 and order part number 146148, or see your
local electronics store.
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 moni-
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
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, 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 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 treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec-
tive and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the con-
sole is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill
can be changed with the touch of a button. As you ex-
ercise, the console will display continuous exercise in-
formation. You can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor. To purchase a chest pulse sensor,
call toll-free 1-888-825-2588.
The console also features twenty-five preset programs
that automatically control the speed and incline of the
treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts.
You can even create custom workout programs and

console offers four pulse programs that control the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate during your workouts.
Whether you select the manual mode or use a pro-
gram, you can enjoy the personal television while you
get in shape.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable,
you can connect the treadmill to your portable stereo,
home stereo, computer, or VCR and play special
iFIT.com MP3, CD, and video programs (iFIT.com MP3
programs, CDs, and videocassettes are available sepa-
rately). iFIT.com programs automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer

the number of miles will appear on the screen.
To reset this number, hold down the Odometer
button for a few seconds. The screen will also
show the words “Total Distance” and the total
number of miles that you have walked or run
since the treadmill was purchased. Note: The
console can display distance and speed in ei-
ther miles or kilometers (see HOW TO USE
THE INFORMATION MODE on page 28). For
simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.
• Your heart rate. Note: Your heart rate will be dis-
played only when you use the handgrip pulse
sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
• The approximate number of calories you have
burned.
• The incline level of the treadmill.
• Your walking or running pace, in minutes per
mile.
• The approximate number of grams of carbs you
have burned.
• The speed of the walking belt.
While the television is off, all of the above exercise
information will be displayed on the screen. While
the television is on, the display mode that you se-
lect will determine which information is displayed—

To select a pulse program, press the Programs
button repeatedly until the words “Pulse Program
#1,” “Pulse Program #2,” “Pulse Program #3,” or
“Pulse Program #4” appear on the screen.
As each pulse program is selected, the words
“Max Heart Rate” and the current maximum target
heart rate setting of
the program will ap-
pear on the screen. In
addition, a diagram
that represents the tar-
get heart rate settings
of the program will ap-
pear. The red arrow below the diagram indicates
your progress.
Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
To change the maximum target heart rate setting
of the program, press the Heart Rate increase or
decrease button. (Note: See the heart rate chart
on page 33 for heart rate guidelines.) To save
the new setting, press the Save button.
Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each pulse program is divided into either 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
To use a pulse program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional
chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse
sensor, it is not necessary to hold the pulse sensor
continuously; however, you should hold the pulse
sensor frequently for the program to operate prop-
erly. Each time you hold the pulse sensor, keep
your hands on the metal contacts for at least
30 seconds.
During each segment, the console will compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for
that segment. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the walking belt will automatically increase or de-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-
mum speed setting of the program (7.5 mph) and
your heart rate is still too far below the target heart
rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also in-
crease. Each time the speed and/or the incline of
the treadmill is about to change, the speed setting
and/or the incline setting will flash on the screen
to alert you. Note: Regardless of which display
mode is selected, the speed setting, the incline
setting, and the program diagram will appear on
the screen each time the speed and/or the incline
is about to change.
When only three sec-
onds remain in the first
segment of the pro-
gram, a series of tones
will sound. When the
first segment ends, the
red arrow below the program diagram will move
one position to the right.
The program will continue in this way until the red
arrow reaches the right end of the program dia-
gram. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
