ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor-
mance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own phillips screwdriver and wire
cutters .
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on pages 34 and 35. The number after the parentheses shows
the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is preattached to
one of the parts to be assembled.

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-
ing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle
on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the
front of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
chest pulse sen-
sor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral mus-
cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor unit is visible and right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so-
lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
essary, draining the battery prematurely.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below
10° C (14° F).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as de-
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 31).

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone 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
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill. If a ferrite box is included, lift the tab on
the ferrite box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord.
Fasten the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off
the excess plastic tie. The plastic tie will prevent the ferrite box from
sliding along the power cord.
See drawing 2. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips
in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the
power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter. Important: Make
sure that the adapter cover is secure and the screw has been
tightened before using the power cord.
See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features that help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display instant exercise feedback. You can even mea-
sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or
the chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six preset programs. Each pro-
gram automatically controls the speed and incline of the
treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout.
Four pulse programs are also offered. Each program
adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate whilst you exer-
cise. In addition, a fitness test program measures your
VO2 max level. You can even create custom programs
and save them in memory for future workouts.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using the built-in CD player,
you can play iFIT.com CD programs that 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.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.
Using the included audio cable, you can also connect
the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com
video programs. Video programs offer the same bene-
fits as iFIT.com CD programs, and allow you to enjoy
breathtaking scenery whilst you exercise. To purchase
iFIT.com videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.
You can also connect the treadmill to your home com-
puter and access programs directly from our Web site.

When the manual mode
or the iFIT.com mode is
selected, this display will
show the elapsed time
and your current pace
(pace is measured in minutes per mile). The dis-
play will change from one number to the other
every few seconds. When a program is selected
(except for pulse program 4), the display will show
the time remaining in the program rather than the
elapsed time.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, re-
move the key, and then reinsert the key.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the
chest pulse sensor or the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use the hand-
grip pulse sen-
sor, first make
sure that your
hands are clean.
Next, stand on
the foot rails
and hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor, with your palms on the metal contacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, two dashes (– –) will appear in the
Calories/Pulse display, and then your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan, press the button below the fan.
To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button
a second time. To turn off the fan, press the but-
ton a third time. Note: A few minutes after the
walking belt is stopped, the fan will automatically
turn off.
When you are finished exercising, remove the

HOW TO USE PRESET PROGRAMS
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
12.
Select one of the preset programs.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual mode
will be selected. To se-
lect a preset program,
press the Program
Select button repeatedly
until a “P 8,” “P 9,” “P 10,” “P 11,” “P 12,” or “P 13”
appears in the Distance/Incline display.
When a preset program is selected, the Speed
display will flash the maximum speed setting of
the program for a few seconds. The Time/Pace
display will show how long the program will last.
The matrix will show
the first seven speed
settings of the program.
Note: The diagrams
numbered 8 through 13
on the left side of the
console show how the
speed and incline will change during the preset
programs. For example, diagram number 12
shows that during preset program 12, the speed
will gradually increase during the first half of the
program and then gradually decrease during the
last half; the incline will remain constant.
Press the Start button or the Speed + 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 program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One speed setting and
one incline setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same speed setting and/or in-
cline setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
The speed setting for the
first segment is shown in
the flashing Current
Segment column of the
matrix. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in
the matrix.) The speed
settings for the next
seven segments are
shown in the seven 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
series of tones will sound. If the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill is about to change, the Speed
display and/or the Distance/Incline display will
flash to alert you. When the first segment ends, 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.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the speed settings have moved
to the left, the speed settings may move downward
so that only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix. If some of the indicators in the Current
Segment column are not lit when the speed set-
tings 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 of the matrix and the
last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow
to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Speed or
Incline buttons. Every few times a Speed button 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 col-
umn 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: When the next segment of the program
begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust
to the speed and incline settings for the next
segment.

HOW TO USE PULSE PROGRAMS
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a
pulse program. See the instructions on page 9.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 12.
Select a pulse program.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select a pulse pro-
gram, press the
Program Select button
repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” ap-
pears in the Distance/Incline display.
The diagrams numbered 1 through 4 on the left
side of the console show how the target heart rate
will change during the programs. During pulse
program 1, your heart rate will reach approxi-
mately 85% of your estimated maximum heart
rate; during pulse programs 2 and 3, your heart
rate will reach approximately 80% of your esti-
mated maximum heart rate; during pulse program
4, your heart rate will remain near a level that you
select.
Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is de-
termined 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).
During pulse programs,
the matrix will show a
moving graphic that rep-
resents your heart rate.
Each time a heartbeat is
detected, an additional
peak will appear.
Enter your age.
When a pulse program
is selected, the word
“AGE” and the current
age setting will flash in
the Calories/Pulse dis-
play. If you have already
entered your age, simply
press the Enter button. If you have not entered
your age, press the + and – buttons beside the
Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the
Enter button.
Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, go to
step 6. If pulse program 4 is selected, follow
the instructions below.
After you have entered
your age, the letters
“PLS” and the target
heart rate setting for the
program will flash in the
Calories/Pulse display. If
desired, press the + and
– buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the tar-
get heart rate setting. When the desired setting is
shown, press the Enter button.

CAUTION:If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro-
grams. If you are taking medication regularly,
consult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Press the Start button or the Speed + 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 several time
segments of different lengths. One target heart rate
is programmed for each segment. Note: If pulse
program 4 is selected, the same target heart rate
is programmed for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the
program (see step 6 on page 16) and your heart
rate is still too far below the current target heart
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the Speed display
and the Distance/Incline display will flash.
The program will continue until the last segment
ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, 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, the speed and/or in-
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse
display and the speed and incline of the treadmill
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-
tected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SEN-
SOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. Pulse programs cannot be stopped tem-
porarily and then restarted. To use a pulse pro-
gram again, reselect the program and start it at
the beginning.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.

12.
Select one of the custom programs.
When the key is inserted,
the manual mode will be
selected. To select a
custom program, press
the Program Select but-
ton repeatedly until a “P
6” or “P 7” appears in the Distance/Incline display.
Note: If the custom program has not yet been
defined, three columns of indicators will be lit
in the matrix. If more than three columns of in-
dicators are lit, see HOW TO USE CUSTOM
PROGRAMS on page 20.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button
and program the desired speed and incline
settings.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
begin walking.
See the matrix. Each
custom program is di-
vided into one-minute
segments. One speed
setting and one incline
setting can be pro-
grammed for each seg-
ment. The speed setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing Current Segment column
of the matrix. (The incline settings are not shown
in the matrix.) To program a speed setting and an
incline setting for the first segment, simply adjust
the speed and incline of the treadmill as desired
by pressing the Speed and Incline buttons. Every
few times one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an
additional indicator will light or darken in the
Current Segment column.
When the first segment of the program is com-
pleted, the current speed setting and the current
incline setting will be saved in memory. The three
columns of indicators will then move one column
to the left, and the speed setting for the second
segment will be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column. Program a speed setting and an
incline setting for the second segment as de-
scribed above. Note: After the third segment is
completed, the columns of indicators in the matrix
will no longer move to the left. Instead, each time
a segment is completed, the flashing Current
Segment column will move one column to the
right. If the Current Segment column reaches the
right side of the matrix, when the current segment
is completed all columns of indicators in the matrix
will move three columns to the left.
Continue programming speed and incline settings
for as many segments as desired; custom pro-
grams can have up to forty segments. When you
are finished with your workout, press the Stop but-
ton twice. The speed and incline settings that you
have programmed and the number of segments
that you have programmed will then be saved in

programmed for each
segment. The speed
setting for the first seg-
ment will be shown in
the flashing Current Segment column of the ma-
trix. (The incline settings are not shown in the ma-
trix.) The speed settings for the next seven seg-
ments will be shown in the 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, a se-
ries of tones will sound, the Speed display and the
Distance/Incline display will flash, and 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
second speed and incline settings that you pro-
grammed previously.
The program will continue until the speed setting
for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and the last segment ends. The
walking belt will then slow to a stop.
