ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call toll=free 1=800=445=2480.
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. Ifthere 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
adjustable wrench and wire cutters _->.
For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: The assembly hardware and other
small parts are packaged in separate part bags. If a part is not in the part bags, check to see if the part has
been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.

TREADMILL OPERATION
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
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
GFCl-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.
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 PROFORM dealer or call the toll-free
telephone number on the front cover of this man-
ual and order part number 146148, or see your local
electronics 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 arnps. There must be amoni=
toting 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-

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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effec-
tive and enjoyable,
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 optional chest pulse sensor (see page 18).
In addition, the console offers twelve preset programs.
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
Two heart rate programs are also offered. Each pro-
gram automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate while you exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 12. To use a preset pro=
gram, see page 14. To use a heart rate program,
see page 16.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the console,
remove the plastic. To prevent damage to the walking
platform, wear clean athletic shoes while using the
treadmill. The first time the treadmill is used, observe
the alignment of the walking belt, and center the walk-
ing belt if necessary (see page 22).

Press the Start 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 30 one-minute seg-
ments. One speed setting and one incline setting
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
The speed setting for
the first segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the matrix. (The
incline settings are not
shown in the matrix.)
The speed settings for
Current Segment
e ® ejj/
the next four segments are 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. 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, a//
speed settings willmove 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 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 in-
cline 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

crease and decrease buttons beside the Enter
button to change the maximum target heart rate
setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
Then, press the Enter button. Note: If the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting is changed, the in-
tensity level of the entire program will change.
If the second heart rate program is selected,
the target heart rate setting for the entire program
will flash in the Calories/Pulse display. If desired,
press the increase and decrease buttons beside
the Enter button to change the target heart rate
setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
Then, press the Enter button.
Press the Start 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.
The first heart rate program is divided into 20 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. (The same target
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) The second heart
rate program is divided into 100 one-minute seg-
ments. The same target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for all segments. Note: For a shorter
workout, simply stop the program before it ends.
If the first heart rate pro-
gram is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn of the matrix. The
target heart rate settings
for the next four seg-
Current Segment

During both heart rate programs, the console will
regularly compare your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the speed of the walking belt
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-
ting.
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,
when the console compares your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting, the speed 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/Pulse
display and the speed of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease. If this occurs, see the instruc-
tions included with the optional chest pulse sen-
sor.
To stop the program at any time, press the Stop
button. To restart the program, press the Start but-
ton or the speed + button. The walking belt will
begin to move at 1 mph. When the console com-
pares your heart rate to the target heart rate set-
ting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may
automatically change to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on pages 12 and 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE
The console features an information mode that keeps
track of the total distance that the walking belt has
moved and the total number of hours that the treadmill
has been used. The information mode also allows you
to switch the console from miles to kilometers. In addi-
tion, the information mode allows you to turn on and
turn off the demo mode.
To select the information mode, hold down the Stop
button while inserting the key into the console and then
release the Stop button. When the information mode is
selected, the following information will be shown:
An "E" for English miles or
an "M" for metric kilometers
will appear in the Speed dis-
play. Press the speed + but-
ton to change the unit of
measurement if desired,
The Distance/Incline display
will show the total number of
miles (or kilometers) that the
walking belt has moved.
The Time/Pace display will
show the total number of
hours the treadmill has been
used.
IMPORTANT: The Calories/Pulse display should be
blank. Ifa "d" appears in the display, the console is in
the "demo" mode. This mode is intended to be used
only when a treadmill is displayed in a store. When the
console is in the demo mode, the power cord can be
plugged in, the key can be removed from the console,
and the displays and indicators on the console will au-
tomatically light in a preset sequence. The buttons on
the console will not operate. If a "d" appears in the
Calories/Pulse display when the information mode
is selected, press the speed - button so the display
is blank.
To exit the information mode, remove the key from the
console.
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
An optional chest pulse sensor adds even more
features to the console. The chest pulse sensor provides
hands-free operation and allows you to use the con-
sows heart rate programs. To purchase the optional
chest pulse sensor, call the toll=free telephone
number on the front cover of this manual.

HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL
HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the
lowest position; if you do not do this, you may perma=
nently damage the treadmill. Next, unplug the power
cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 45
pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill in the locations shown at the right. To
decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and
keep your back straight. As you raise the frame, make
sure to lift with your legs rather than with your back.
Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Hold the treadmill frame firmly with your left hand. Using
your right hand, pull the latch knob to the right and hold it.
Raise the treadmill until the pin on the latch knob is
aligned with the hole in the left handgrip. Then, release
the latch knob. Make sure that the latch knob is fully
released so the pin is fully inserted into the hole in
the left handgrip. Note: After a period of use, the latch
housing may need to be adjusted to align the pin with the
hole in the left handgrip (see assembly step 5 on page 8).
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor=
age position in temperatures above 85 ° Fahrenheit.
