LUBRICATING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Before the treadmill is used, the walking platform
should be lubricated. Open the included lubricant
bottle. Reach under one side of the walking belt as far
as you can, and apply half of the lubricant to the walk-
ing platform. Then, reach under the other side of the
walking belt and apply the remainder of the lubricant.
After you have applied the lubricant, walk on the
treadmill for a few minutes to spread the lubricant.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, batteries must be
installed (see assembly step 5 on page 5). If there is a
thin sheet of plastic on the console, remove the plastic.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
1. Turn on the power.
To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin walking. When the power is turned on,
the entire display will appear for two seconds. The
console will then be ready for use. Note: If batteries
were just installed, the power will already be on.
2. Follow your progress with the five modes.
When the power is
turned on, the con-
sole will automatical-
ly scan through five
modes. A flashing
mode indicator will
show which mode is
currently displayed.
The modes are
described below.
• Speed—This mode displays your speed, in miles
per hour.
• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is needed, call
our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Mountain Time (excluding holidays).
1. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Replace the batteries in the console (see assem-
bly step 5 on page 5).
b. Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust-
ed (see assembly step 4 on page 5).
c. Make sure that the reed switch wire is plugged
fully into the back of the console (see assembly
step 3 on page 4).
d. The console, like most electronics, is susceptible
to static electricity build-up caused by certain
types of clothing or by the operation of the tread-
mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect read-
ings, apply an anti-static spray to the handrail.
Anti-static spray is available where laundry sup-
plies are sold.
2. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT DOES NOT
MOVE SMOOTHLY
a. If the walk-
ing belt is
overtight-
ened, per-
formance
may be
reduced and
the walking
belt may be
permanently
damaged. Using the allen wrench, turn both rear
roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a
turn. When the tension of the walking belt is cor-
rect, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the treadmill
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is
properly tightened. Be careful to keep the walking
belt centered.
3. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT SLIPS OR IS
OFF-CENTER
a. If the walking
belt slips
when walked
on, use the
allen wrench to
turn both
adjustment
bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of
the walking belt 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the tread-
mill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened. Be careful to keep the
walking belt centered.
b. If the walking
belt has shift-
ed to the left
side, use the
allen wrench to
turn the left
adjustment bolt
clockwise, and
the right adjustment bolt counterclockwise, 1/4 of
a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the
walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
c. If the walking
belt has shift-
ed to the right
side, use the
allen wrench to
turn the left
adjustment bolt
counterclock-
wise, and the right adjustment bolt clockwise, 1/4
of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the
walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WHY EXERCISE?
Exercise has proven essential for good health and
well-being. A well-rounded exercise program helps to
develop a stronger and more efficient heart, improved
respiratory function, increased stamina, better weight
management, increased ability to handle stress, and
greater self-esteem.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows
recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic
exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at the proper
intensity level for a sustained period of time. During
the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easi-
ly accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only
after the first few minutes does your body begin to use
stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn
fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is between the lower two numbers in your
training zone as you exercise.
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. For effective aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your train-
ing zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your
heart rate, stop exer-
cising and place two
fingers on your wrist
as shown. Take a
six-second heartbeat
count, and multiply
the result by ten to
find your heart rate.
(A six-second count is used because your heart rate
drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart
rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exer-
cise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity
of your exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three impor-
tant parts:
A warm-up, consisting of five to ten minutes of
stretching and light exercise. This will increase your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, including 20 to 30 minutes of
exercise with your heart rate in your training zone.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for individu-
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-
existing health problems.

A cool-down, consisting of five to ten minutes of
stretching. Stretching after exercise is effective for
increasing flexibility and helps to offset problems
caused when you stop exercising suddenly.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest after
each workout. After a few months of regular exercise,
you may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired.
Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise,
plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for
many, and the self-discipline required to rise early and
exercise increases productivity throughout the day. For
others, exercising before dinner helps them to relax.
Whatever time you choose, be consistent. The key to
success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.
