path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug.The plug must be plugged 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 elec-
tric 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
outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 240-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available.The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (below) 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.

.
The program works by automatically adjusting the incline to keep you working out at your target heart rate.
To do this the treadmill will need your pulse reading throughout the exercise (we recommend you use a
heart rate chest strap).
• If your heart rate is too high the incline is decreased, at a rate of 1% every 30 seconds.
• If your heart rate is too low the incline is increased, at a rate of 1% every 30 seconds.
• The user is free to change to speed settings at any point during the workout.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work
within your target heart rate zone. TheAmerican Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as
60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maxi-
mum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from one
person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For example,
the maximum heart rate for an average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-
75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm.
See Fitness Safety on page 17
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly
against your neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the
number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your pulse rate per
minute. We recommend taking your heart rate at these times; at rest, after warming up, during your
workout and two minutes into your cool down, to accurately track your progress as it relates to
better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part of the
target heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%. According to the AHA, exercising
above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenuous unless you are in top physical condi-
tion. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop exercis-
ing, or if it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have been too
strenuous for your current fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. Avariety
of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can
affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can
help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHZ)
MHZ x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHZ x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHZ)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHZ)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.
