OPERAT ON AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBR CATED WALK NG BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant. MPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG N THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs
power. To decrease the risk of damaging your
treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with your
treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase
a surge suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.
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 dam-
age the control system of the treadmill (see precau-
tion 13 on page 3).
This product must be grounded. f 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 productʼs power cord has an equip-
ment-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 accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
MPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFC -equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
(see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to
connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if
a properly grounded outlet is not available (see draw-
ing 2).
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-
stalled 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.
The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
DANGER: mproper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor in-
creases the risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you
are unsure whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to help you get the most from your
workouts. When the manual mode of the console is se-
lected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be
changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise,
the console will display continuous exercise feedback.
You can even measure your heart rate using the built-
in handgrip pulse sensor.
n addition, the console features fifteen preset work-
outs—five weight loss, five performance, and five aero-
bic workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you
through an effective exercise session.
The console also features the new iFit interactive
workout system. The iFit system enables the console
to accept iFit interactive workout cards containing
workouts designed to help you achieve specific fitness
goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-
week weight loss workout, or train for a long-distance
run with the marathon workout. iFit workouts automati-
cally control the treadmill while the voice of a personal
trainer coaches you through every step of your work-
out. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase
iFit cards at any time, go to www.iFit.com or call
the telephone number on the front cover of this
manual. iFit cards are also available at select
stores.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the consoleʼs premium stereo sound
system while you get in shape. This treadmill has been
designed specifically to work with iPod and has been
certified by the developer to meet Apple performance
standards.
To turn on the power, see page 15. To use the man-
ual mode, see page 15. To use a preset workout,
see page 17. To use an iFit workout, see page 18.
To use the information mode, see page 19. To use
the stereo sound system, see page 19.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To find out which unit of
measurement is selected or to change the unit of mea-
surement, see THE NFORMAT ON MODE on page
19. Note: For simplicity, all instructions in this section
refer to miles.

cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before turning on the power. f you do not
do this, you may damage the console displays or
other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
page 13). Next, locate the
power switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power
cord. Make sure that the
switch is in the reset
position.
MPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. f the displays light as soon as
you plug in the power cord and press the power
switch into the reset position, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down
the Stop button for a few seconds. f the displays
