Warm Up Exercises  
6
EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program, you should consult your physician. This is  
especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.  
Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxygen to the  
muscles and raising body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light  
exercise to warm up. The photos on this page show several forms of basic stretching you may perform  
before your workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each stretch three times.  
TOE TOUCH STRETCH  
Stand bending your knees slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your  
back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible.  
Hold for 15 counts, then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, back of knees, and  
back.  
HAMSTRING STRETCH  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot  
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,  
then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, lower back, and  
groin.  
CALF/ACHILLES STRETCH  
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall.  
Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg,  
lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. To  
cause further stretching of the Achilles tendon, bend your back leg as well. This will  
stretch your calves, Achilles tendons, and ankles.  
QUADRICEPS STRETCH  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your  
other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.  
INNER THIGH STRETCH  
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet  
toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. This  
will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.

Power Requirements  
8
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONNECTOR CAN  
RESULT IN A RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELEC-  
TRICIAN OR SERVICE MAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE PROD-  
UCT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH  
THE PRODUCT IF IT WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET. HAVE A PROPER OUTLET  
INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power.  
Voltage spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off. To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not  
included) with your treadmill.  
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single out-  
let surge protector with UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with UL sup-  
pressed voltage rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC, 15 amps.  
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of  
least resistance for electric current should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill comes with an electri-  
cal cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into  
a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug  
illustrated in the drawing below.

HEART RATE MONITOR MODE  
The treadmill may at any time be used in the Heart Rate Monitor Mode. If the signal from the  
chest strap is detected, heart rate BPM will be displayed in the INCLINE window. The incline  
will only be briefly displayed if manual or program changes are initiated. The Heart Rate pro-  
gram is designed to keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically  
adjusting the incline. For example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and  
your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are wearing the Heart Rate Transmitter, correctly the  
incline will automatically increase to intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly  
climb to 125 BPM. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjust-  
ments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is  
above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your  
heart rate. You may at any time during the Heart Rate Program adjust/override the speed and/or  
the incline by simply pressing the correct corresponding button. You may also change your  
“Target Heart Rate” at any time by pressing the TARGET UP or TARGET DOWN button.  
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION  
 Plug treadmill into a surge protector outlet. Attach the Red Safety Key on to the treadmill con-  
sole.  
 Stand on the treadmill and straddle belt. Attach safety key clip to your clothes.  
 Press POWER button. Place the Heart Rate Transmitter strap across your chest and connect  
ends. (Make sure your skin is moist and the strap is snug for accurate transmission). At this time,  
if the display is receiving a signal from the chest strap, the incline window will begin to settle on  
your current heart rate. To use HEART RATE program without the chest strap, continuously  
hold the EKG grips through out the whole workout program.  
 Press the HEART RATE CONTROL button to enter the electronics into the Heart Rate  
Program. The incline window will momentarily flash ‘125’, which is the default program target  
heart rate.  
 The WORKOUT TIME window will blink. Use the SPEED + or – arrows to select your work-  
out time. Press ENTER PROGRAM.  
 The SPEED window will then blink. Use the same + or – arrows to select the speed for your  
workout. Press ENTER PROGRAM.  
 The incline window (if receiving your heart rate accurately) will show current BPM, and the small  
red light labeled PULSE adjacent to the incline window, will be illuminated. (If the receiver is not  
receiving an accurate reading, the incline window will be flashing - - - -).  
 To adjust the pre-set target heart rate press the TARGET +/TARGET– button then press the  
ENTER PROGRAM button.  
 Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after  
the belt starts moving.  
 Press START/STOP button. Belt will begin to move after 4 seconds. Step on belt slowly after  
the belt starts moving.  
The small light at the top of the console labeled TARGET will be illuminated if you are at your  
target. If you are not, the arrow shaped lights will illuminate and reflect if you are above or  
below your goal. If you are not within 25 BPM of your “Target heart rate” the program will not  
work. DO NOT STOP TO START OVER. Continue exercising and your heart rate will naturally  
increase. The program will continually monitor your heart rate and periodically adjust the incline  
up or down to increase or decrease the resistance thereby keeping you at your target zone. At the  
conclusion of the programmed time the TIME window will flash 00:00 and the  
CALORIES/DISTANCE window will continue to accumulate values. The treadmill will continue  
operation until the START/STOP button or the PAUSE button is pressed. Press the POWER  
button to turn off the treadmill.

Belt Adjustment and Tension  
15  
WARNING! Do not over-tighten rollers! This will cause premature  
roller bearing failure!  
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjust-  
ment for tension and centering. Your new treadmill comes pre-  
adjusted from the factory for tension and centering. Please fol-  
low the procedures below if the belt shifts to the left or right  
while walking:  
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT (Diagram 1
First, turn treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provide
turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise dir
Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to
itself by moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until  
the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension  
once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping  
while walking. Refer below to the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.  
WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT (Diagram 2
First, turn the treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provi
ed, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise  
direction. Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the  
belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat  
the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be  
necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this  
procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer belo
the “Walking Belt Slipping” instructions.  
WALKING BELT IS SLIPPING DURING USE (Diagram 3)  
First, unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key  
provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same dis-  
tance, usually a ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back  
into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You  
should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still  
slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is  
not slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to  
slip.  
 Turning the hex key counter clockwise brings the rear rollers
belt towards you.  
 Turning the hex key clockwise pushes the rear roller and belt  
away form you.

Maintenance Instructions  
17  
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance to your treadmill, always unplug the power cord from  
the surge protector.  
CLEANING  
Routine cleaning of your Ironman Fitness treadmill will extend the life of your treadmill. WARNING!  
To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the unit unplugged from the  
wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.  
AFTER EACH WORKOUT: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water  
dampened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. USE NO CHEMICALS.  
WEEKLY: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts  
the belt and eventually makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.  
DECK LUBRICATION  
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking  
board be checked periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance.  
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation, lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the  
walking board as far under as you can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is  
required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.  
Ironman recommends “Lube N Walk” for cleaning and lubricating the treadmill belt and deck. Ask your  
retailer or call Ironman at 800-340-0482. You may also use silicone such as “Napa 8300” (available at  
most stores).  
TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE WALKING BOARD  
1) Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the center of the walk-  
ing board.  
2) Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.  
3) While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the  
board approximately 6” from the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board,  
moving from the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray  
approximately 4 seconds on each side.  
4) Allow the silicone to ‘set’ for one minute before using the treadmill.  
WARNING: Do not over-lubricate the walking board. Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean  
towel.
