OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
our treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silico e spray or other
substa ces to the walki g belt or the walki g plat-
form. Such substa ces will deteriorate the walki g
belt a d cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
our 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 bei g damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawi g 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local Sears or call 1-800-366-
7278 a d order part umber 146148.
Use o ly a si gle-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a tra sie t voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rati g of 400 volts or less
a d a mi imum surge dissipatio of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC a d 15 amps. There must be a
mo itori g light o the surge suppressor to i di-
cate whether it is fu ctio i g properly. Failure to
use a properly fu ctio i g surge suppressor could
result i damage to the co trol system of the
treadmill. If the co trol system is damaged, the
walki g belt may cha ge speed or stop u expect-
edly, which may result i a fall a d serious i jury.
This product must be grou ded. 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 i to a surge suppressor,
a d plug the surge suppressor i to a appropriate
outlet that is properly i stalled a d grou ded i
accorda ce with all local codes a d ordi a ces.
Importa t: The treadmill is ot 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 ot grou ded. Co tact a qualified elec-
tricia to determi e if the outlet box cover is
grou ded before usi g a adapter.
DANGER:Improper co ectio
of the equipme t-grou di g co ductor ca
result i a i creased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electricia or service-
ma if you are i doubt as to whether the
product is properly grou ded. Do ot modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
ot fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
i stalled by a qualified electricia .

is inserted, the
manual mode
will be se-
lected. To se-
lect a personal
trainer pro-
gram, press the Program button repeatedly until
one of the four personal trainer program indicators
lights. When a personal trainer program is se-
lected, the Time/Incline/Segment Time display will
flash the maximum incline setting for the program
for six seconds, and the Speed/Min-mile display
will flash the maximum speed setting.
The four profiles on the right side of the console
show how the speed and incline of the treadmill
will change during the programs. The numbers
beside the profiles show the maximum speed and
incline settings for the programs.
The program display
will show the first four
speed settings for the
program. The Time/
Incline/Segment Time
display will show how
long the program will
last.
Press the Start butto or the Speed
▲▲ butto to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will show both the time re-
maining in the program and the time remaining in
the current segment.) One speed setting and one
incline setting are programmed for each segment.
(The same speed setting and/or incline setting may
be programmed for con-
secutive segments.) 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 four segments will be
shown in the four 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/Min-mile display and/or the Time/Incline/
Segment Time display will flash to alert you, and
three tones will sound. When the first segment is
completed, all speed settings will move one col-
umn to the left. The speed setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-
tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the
speed settings have moved to the left, the speed
settings will move downward so that only the high-
est indicators appear in the LED matrix. If some of
the indicators in the Current Segment column are
not lit when the speed settings move to the left
again, the speed settings will move back up.
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/Incline/Segment Time display. The walk-
ing belt will then slow to a stop.
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. 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 indica-
tor may light or darken in those columns as well.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Note: You must wear the optio al chest pulse se -
sor (see page 21) to use a heart rate program.
Put o the chest pulse se sor.
See the instructions included with the optional
chest pulse sensor.
I sert the key fully i to the co sole.

To select a
heart rate pro-
gram, press the
Program button repeatedly until one of the two
heart rate program indicators lights.
The two profiles on the left side of the console
show how the target heart rate will change during
the programs. The numbers above the profiles
represent percentages of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate. Note: our estimated maximum
heart rate is determined by subtracting your age
from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old,
your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats
per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years
old, a target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to
95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).

During heart rate pro-
grams, the program
display will show a
graphic that represents
your heart rate. Each
time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional
peak will appear.

display. ou must enter your age to use a heart
rate program. If you have already entered your
age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your
age, press the Incline (Age Set) buttons until your
age is shown. our age will then be saved in mem-
ory.
Adjust the maximum speed limit for the
program.
When a heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the let-
ters SPd (speed) and the
maximum speed limit for
the program will flash in
the Speed/Min-Mile dis-
play. If desired, change the maximum speed limit
by pressing the Quick Speed buttons.
Press the Start butto or the Speed
▲▲ butto to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each heart rate program is divided into one-minute
segments. (The Time/Incline/Segment Time dis-
play will show both the time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg-
ment of the program.) One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. (The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.)
During the program, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the treadmill 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 limit for the program (see step 5 at
the left) and your heart rate is still too far below
the current target heart rate setting, the incline of
the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
The program will continue until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too
low, you can adjust the setting with the speed or
incline buttons. However, each time the console
compares your heart rate to the current target
heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the
treadmill may automatically change to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters PLS will flash in the Calories/Fat
Calories/Heart Rate display and the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically decrease
until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the
instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped
temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate
program again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 11.
Whe the program is completed, remove the
key from the co sole.
