ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires your own P illips screw-
driver and rubber mallet .
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 performance. 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.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
treadmill to the upright position as shown. If there are
plastic ties on the pulse sensors, remove them.
Insert one of the Extension Legs (55) into the treadmill as
shown. Make sure that the Extension Leg is turned so
the Base Pad (44) is on the bottom. If necessary, tip the
Uprights (64) forward as you insert the Extension Leg.
Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same
way.
2. With the help of a second person, carefully lower the
Uprights (64) as shown. Note: It may be helpful to place
your foot on one of the Wheels (58) as you tip the
Uprights. Make sure t at t e Extension Legs (55) re-
main in t e Uprig ts.
Attach each Extension Leg (55) with an Extension Screw
(35), a 1” Screw (13), and a Base Pad (44) as shown.
Note: One replacement Base Pad (44) may be included.
If a Base Pad becomes worn and needs to be replaced,
use the replacement Base Pad.

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 silicone spray or ot er
substances to t e walking belt or t e walking plat-
form. Suc substances will deteriorate t e walking
belt and 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 t e pos-
sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor wit your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at t e rig t). To purc ase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local PROFORM dealer or call
1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor t at is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). T e surge suppressor must ave a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
T e surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. T ere must be a
monitoring lig t on t e surge suppressor to indi-
cate w et er it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to t e control system of t e
treadmill. If t e control system is damaged, t e
walking belt may c ange speed or stop unexpect-
edly, w ic may result in a fall and serious injury.
T is 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 t e power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug t e surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet t at is properly installed and grounded in
accordance wit all local codes and ordinances.
Important: T e treadmill is not compatible wit
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 t e outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of t e equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric s ock.
C eck wit a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to w et er t e
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
t e plug provided wit t e product—if it will
not fit t e outlet, ave a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. ou can even
measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see
page 20).
Four certified personal trainer programs are also
offered. Each program automatically controls the
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec-
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also fea-
tured. Each program controls the speed and incline of
the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
during your workouts.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs ( iFIT.com CDs are
available separately). IFIT.com CD programs automati-
cally 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.
Each CD features two programs designed by certified
personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-
cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for
details.
To purc ase iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, call
toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
To use t e manual mode of t e console, follow the
steps beginning on page 10. To use a personal trainer
program, see page 12. To use a eart rate program,
see page 13. To use an iFIT.com CD or video pro-
gram, see page 17. To use an iFIT.com program di-
rectly from our Web site, see page 19.

• Do not stand on t e walking belt w en turn-
ing on t e power.
• Always wear t e clip (see t e drawing
above) w ile operating t e treadmill.
•Adjust t e speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
•To reduce t e possibility of electric s ock,
keep t e console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on t e console and place only a sealed water
bottle in t e water bottle older.

sired by pressing the Speed
▼▼ and ▲▲ buttons.
Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting
will change by 0.1 mph; if a button is held down,
the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5
mph. To change the speed setting quickly, press
the Quick Speed buttons. Note: T e console can
display speed and distance in eit er miles or
kilometers. For simplicity, all instructions in
t is section refer to miles.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
