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 Sears store or call 1-800-366-7278 and
order part number 146148, or see your local elec-
tronics 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 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 continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip
pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features eight preset programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.
The console also offers two heart rate programs that
control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate during your
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 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
guides you through every step of your workout; high-
energy music provides added motivation. To down-
load iFIT.com MP3 programs, go to www.iFIT.com.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call
toll-free 1-888-533-1333.

When the first segment is completed, 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 seg-
ment. Note: If all five of the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings
may move downward so that only the highest indi-
cators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue in this way 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.
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 a Speed button is
pressed, an additional indicator will appear or dis-
appear 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 appear or disappear in those columns as
well. Important: When the current segment of
the program ends, the treadmill will automati-
cally adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the next segment.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the display.
To restart the program, press the Start button or
the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to
move at 1 mph. When the next segment of the pro-
gram begins, the treadmill will automatically adjust
to the speed and incline settings for the next seg-
ment.

Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
After you have entered a
maximum speed setting,
the letters “PLS” and the
current maximum target
heart rate setting of the
program will appear in
the display. Press the Heart Rate increase and de-
crease buttons to change the maximum target
heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 27).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold
the pulse sensor continuously during the program;
however, you should hold the pulse sensor fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the pulse sensor, keep your
hands on the metal contacts for at least 30
seconds. Note: When you are not holding the
pulse sensor, the letters “PLS” will appear in the
display instead of your 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 heart rate program is divided into either 20 or
30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
The target
heart rate
setting for
the first seg-
ment will be
shown in
the flashing
Current Segment column of the matrix. The target
heart rate settings for the next four segments 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 and a
series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed
setting and the incline setting will flash in the dis-
play to alert you. When the first segment ends, all
target heart rate settings will move one column to
the left. The target heart rate setting for the sec-
ond segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column.
During each segment, the console will compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed
reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro-
gram (see step 4 on page 15) and your heart rate
is still too far below the target heart rate, the in-
cline of the treadmill will also increase to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
The program will continue in this way until the tar-
get heart rate 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.
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 target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill may automatically change to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the display.
To restart the program, press the Start button or
the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin to
move at 1 mph. When the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate, the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill may automatically change.
Follow your progress with the display.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 13.
When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
