OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE", a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
NOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
electric shock. This product is equipped with acord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector Into an ap-
propriate outlet that Is properly Installed and
grounded In accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product is for use on anominal 120-volt circuit,
and has agrounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing I below. A temporary adaptarthat
]ooks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by aqualified electrician.
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 re-
suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread- 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector 0f_t in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 stops, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of.
The green-colored dgld ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as apropedy 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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will helpyou to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember--these are general guide-
lines. For more detailed informationabout exercise,
obtain areputable book or consult yourphysician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether you want to bum fat, strengthen your cardio-
vascular system, 6r increase yourathletic perfor-
mance, you can tailor your exercise toyour specific
•. goals. The key to achieving the desired results is to ex-
ercise with the proper intensity.
Burning Pet
To burn fat effectively, you mustexercise at arelatively
low intensity level for a sustainedperiod of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-
ergy. Only after the first few minutesof exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
Ifyour goal isto bum fat, set the speed control on the
console to FAT BURN tohelp you maintain the proper
intensitylevel. (See pages 8 and 9.)
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be =aerobic." Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. The proper intensity
level for aerobic exercise can be found by using your
pulse as a guide. As you exercise, your pulse should
be kept at a level between 70% and 85% of your maxi-
mum possible heart rate. This is known as your train-
ing zone. You can find your training zone in the table
at the top of this page. Training zones are listed ac-
cording to age and physical condition.
14 During the first few months of your exercise program,
Training Zone (Beats/Mln.)
Age Unconditioned Conditioned
20 138-167 133-162
28 186-166 132-160
30 135-164 130-158
38 134-162 129-156
40 132o161 127-155
45 131-159 125-153
50 129-156 124-150

60 126-153 121-147
65 125-151 119o145
70 123-150 118-144
75 122-147 117-142
80 120-146 115-140
85 118-144 114-139
keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone
as you exercise. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, your pulse can be gradually increased until itis
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
You can measure your pulse using the pulse sensor.
Exercise for about four minutes, and then measure
your pulse immediately. If your pulse istoo high or too
low, adjust the intensity of your exercise. It may also
be helpfulto set the speed controlon the console to
AEROBIC to help you maintain the proper intensity
level. (See pages 8 and 9.)
Performance Training
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,
set the speed control on the console to PERFOR-
MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level.
(See pages 8 and 9.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three pads: (1) a warm-
up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.
Warm-up
Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-
ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles
and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout
with 5to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to
warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 15).

Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity ofyour exer-
cise untilyour pulse is in your training zone for 20 to
60 minutes. (During the firstfew weeks of yourexer-
cise program, do not keep your pulse in yourtraining
zone fbr longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly
and deeply as you exercise--never hold your breath.
Cool-down
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes ofstretching
to cool down. This will increase the flexibilityof your.
muscles and willhelpto prevent post-exercise problems.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-
plete up to five workouts each-week ifdesired.
The key to success is tomake exercise aregular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the
drawings below. Move slowly as you stratch- never bounce.
