5.2.2 PRESET PROGRAMS
The treadmill has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of worko ts. These five programs
have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.
Hill
Resistance: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of grad al progression from approximately
10% of maxim m effort (the level that yo chose before starting this program) p to a maxim m effort which
lasts for 10% of the total worko t time, then a grad al regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of
maxim m effort.
Incline: The deck elevation is a more grad al and s stained progression. Maxim m elevation is in the middle
of the worko t and lasts for 10% of the d ration.
INCLINE SPEED
Fat Burn
Resistance: This program follows a q ick progression p to the maxim m speed level (defa lt or ser inp t
level) that is s stained for 2/3 of the worko t. This program will challenge yo r ability to s stain yo r energy
o tp t for an extended period of time.
Incline: The deck elevation is a q ick and s stained progression p to the maxim m val e (defa lt or ser
inp t) for 90% of the worko t d ration.
INCLINE SPEED
Cardio
Resistance: This program presents a q ick progression p to near maxim m speed level (defa lt or ser inp t
level). It has slight fl ct ations p and down to allow yo r heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly,
before beginning a q ick cool down. This will b ild p yo r heart m scle and increase blood flow and l ng
capacity.
Incline: The elevation in this program is moderate. There are several elevation spikes at different points of the
worko t. Segments 4, 9, and 14 are maxim m elevation for this program.
INCLINE SPEED

ENGLISH
Strength
Resistance: This program has a grad al progression of speed p to 100% of maxim m effort that is s stained
for 25% of worko t d ration. This will help b ild strength and m sc lar end rance in the lower body and
gl ts. A brief cool down follows.
Incline: There is a q ick climb to a moderate, s stained elevation that lasts the majority of the worko t
length.
INCLINE SPEED
Interval
Resistance: This program takes yo thro gh high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low
intensity. This program tilizes and develops yo r “Fast Twitch” m scle fibers which are sed when
performing tasks that are intense and short in d ration. These deplete yo r oxygen level and spike yo r heart
rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Yo r cardiovasc lar system
gets programmed to se oxygen more efficiently.
INCLINE SPEED
5.2.3 HEART RATE PROGRAMS
To determine the benefit range in which yo wish to train, yo m st first determine yo r Maxim m Heart Rate. This
can be accomplished by sing the following form la: 220 min s yo r age. This will give yo the Maxim m Heart Rate
(MHR) for someone of yo r age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals yo simply calc late a
percentage of yo r MHR. Yo r Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of yo r maxim m heart rate. 60% of yo r MHR
is the zone that b rns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vasc lar system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to
stay in for maxim m benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is
calc lated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maxim m heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per min te
(60% of maxim m)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per min te
(80% of maxim m)
So for a 40 year old the training zone wo ld be 108 to 144 beats
per min te.
If yo enter yo r age d ring programming the console will
perform this calc lation a tomatically. After calc lating yo r
MHR yo can decide pon which goal yo wo ld like to p rs e.

USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (Optional)
How to wear yo r wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap sing the locking parts.
2. Adj st the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to
remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of yo r torso
facing away from yo r chest. Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the
ro nd end and, sing the locking parts, sec re the transmitter and strap aro nd yo r
chest.
4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral m scles.
5. Sweat is the best cond ctor to meas re very min te heart beat electrical
signals.
However, plain water can also be sed to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt
and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that yo wear the transmitter strap a few min tes before
yo r work o t.
6. Yo r worko t m st be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady
signal.
Note: The transmitter is a tomatically activated when it detects activity from the ser’s heart. Additionally, it
a tomatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Altho gh the transmitter is water resistant, moist re
can have the effect of creating false signals, so yo sho ld take preca tions to completely dry the transmitter after
se to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 ho rs). The replacement battery is Panasonic
CR2032.
ERRATIC OPERATION
Ca tion! Do not se this treadmill for Heart Rate programs nless a steady, solid Act al Heart Rate val e is being
displayed. High, wild, random n mbers being displayed indicate an interference problem.

6. ADJUSTMENTS
BELT ADJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt Tension Adj stment m st be made from the rear roller with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the
parts package. The adj stment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only eno gh to prevent slippage at the
front roller. T rn the tread-belt tension adj sting bolts 1/4 t rn
each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt and
making s re it is not slipping or hesitating with each step. When
an adj stment is made to the belt tension, yo m st be s re to
t rn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt co ld start
tracking to one side instead of r nning in the middle of the
deck.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will ca se belt damage and premat re bearing fail re. If yo
tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem co ld act ally be the drive belt - located nder the motor cover -
that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose.
Tightening the motor belt sho ld be done by a trained service person.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in se. B t if d ring se the
belt contin es to move toward one side, adj stments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided for this adj stment.
Make tracking adj stments on the left side bolt. Set belt
speed at 5 km/h. Be aware that a small adj stment can
make a dramatic difference which may not be apparent
right away. If the belt is too close to the left side, then
t rn the bolt only a 1/4 t rn to the right (clockwise) and
wait a few min tes for the belt to adj st itself.
Contin e to make 1/4 t rns ntil the belt stabilizes in
the center of the r nning deck. If the belt is too close to
the right side, t rn the bolt co nter-clockwise. The belt
may req ire periodic tracking adj stment depending on se and walking/r nning characteristics.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE WARRANT .

BELT/DECK LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
Do not l bricate with other than approved l bricant. Yo r treadmill comes with one
t be of l bricant and extra t bes can be ordered directly from yo r a thorized
dealer.
The console has a b ilt in l brication reminder indicator that lights every 180 ho rs
of se.
At the middle of the deck, lift p on the belt and reach nder with the t be of
l bricant. Sq irt most of the l bricant on the deck s rface. Repeat the process on
the opposite side. Pl g the electrical cord back into the o tlet and walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five
min tes.
If nable to perform the above proced re, it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm Allen
wrench s pplied, loosen the two rear roller adj stment bolts -- located in the rear end caps – eno gh to get yo r
hand nder the belt. Make s re to loosen both bolts the same amo nt of t rns and also remember how many
