1.2 SETUP
Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before begin-
ning the setup procedure.
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Life Fitness Treadmill requires a dedicated* line according to the electrical configurations listed in the chart below.
* One individual branch circuit for each treadmill per NEC article 210-21 (b) (1) and 210-23 (or other appropriate, country specific electrical compliance
guidelines). The hot and neutral wires must each be routed independently (not looped or tied to other circuits.)" .
NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a prop-
er outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path
of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each
unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a
properly grounded, 20-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. Models drawing
16 amps or more must be installed on a dedicated line.
IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur temporaire pour brancher cette fiche sur une prise
bipolaire en Amérique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 20 A correctement mise à la terre n'est disponible, en faire
installer une par un électricien qualifié. Les modèles utilisant 16 A ou plus doivent être branchés sur un circuit
spécialisé.
DANGER:
A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the
plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Any modification to the electrical plug will result in a voided warranty.
Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise à la terre peut entraîner des risques de décharge électrique.
Consulter un électricien si des doutes subsistent quant à la technique de mise à la terre. NE PAS MODIFIER la fiche
fournie avec l'appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas à une prise, faire installer une prise correcte par un électricien qualifié.
Toute modification à la fiche annule la garantie.
HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the treadmill to the location in
which it will be used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the
footprint. Allow a distance of eight inches, or 21 centimeters, between the treadmill and
other units on either side. Allow a distance of six feet, or two meters, from the rear of
the treadmill to any object or surface.
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a
slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not
resting on the floor. To adjust, loosen the JAM NUT (A), and turn the STABILIZING
LEG (B) until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the JAM NUT.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may
cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level is recommended to ensure proper leveling.

POWER SWITCH
Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions: "I" (one) for ON and "0" (zero) for
OFF.
CENTERING THE BELT
After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an
appropriate outlet. See Electrical Requirements at the beginning of this section for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.
Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill frame. Do not stand on the belt at this time. Press the
QUICK START key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using the SPEED
UP arrow.
If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right
tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (A) a quarter-turn
counter-clockwise. See the illustration. This action sets the striding belt tracking back to
center of the roller.
If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and
then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt
tracking back to center of roller.
Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue
running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized.
NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If, after one full turn, the belt does not track
properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product
Service.

FITNESS NETWORKING
The two interchangeable type RJ45 networking ports (A) are located on the back of the display console. These network
ports, located behind the display console rear access door, allow the treadmill to be connected to a fitness entertainment
system and/or a fitness network, such as FitLinxx®.
A
•
•
Networking: The built-in networking ports allow the unit to exchange workout information with a fitness network
database.
Fitness Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use
with a service such as the Cardio Theater® entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system.
POWER CORD ROUTING
The power cord can be run straight from the treadmill, shortened and exited out the user-front left side, or run under the
frame using the power cord clips and exited out the user right-rear side of the treadmill.
For efficient cord management, the following routing options are recommended:
With the power cord unplugged, insert the clips in the appropriate holes. See the illustration below. Use Hole Pattern 1
or 2 to locate the clips and secure the power cord with the clips, taking up any slack between clips.
NOTE: It may be necessary to tip the treadmill to route the power cord properly.
To plug the power cord into an outlet in front of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 1 for outlets located at the front of the
machine.
NOTE: To accommodate treadmill incline, at least two feet (24”) of power cord is required between the outlet and the
last power cord clip for outlets in front of the treadmill.
To plug the power cord into an outlet in rear of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 2 for outlets located at the rear of the
machine.
WARNING: Make sure that there is a 6-foot clearance behind the
treadmill. Contact Life Fitness Customer Service for an optional
longer power cord if necessary.
WARNING: Insure that the power cord (A) does not contact the strid-
ing belt or get pinched between the frame (C), lift arm (B) or the
wheel; failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury.
AVERTISSEMENT : S'assurer que le cordon d'alimentation n'entre pas
en contact avec le tapis et ne soit pas pincé entre le cadre, le bras de
levage ou la roue. Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut provo-
quer de graves blessures.
NOTE: When using Pattern 1, it is extremely important to route the power cord BETWEEN the lift frame and the main
frame.

HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® EXERCISE
®
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training® approach
to exercise.
Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fit-
ness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The Life
Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone
Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN
• CARDIO
• HEART RATE HILLTM
• HEART RATE INTERVALTM
• EXTREME HEART RATETM
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate using the NUMERIC keypad.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional telemetry chest strap, or grip
the LifepulseTM sensors, to enable the treadmill’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The
computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM SYSTEM
To use the treadmill’s LifepulseTM system to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the
ErgoTM front handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars. Contact must be maintained with all four sensors
to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors.
Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH. For these speeds, the use of a heart rate chest
strap is recommended.
THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against
the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears dur-
ing the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-351-3737.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the
underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten
the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable
enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However,
it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to
expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.
During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a heart rate chest
strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a heart rate chest strap is detected, the maximum speed is
14 mph.

THE WORKOUTS
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins
immediately.
MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or pro-
gression.
HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of
lower-intensity exercise.
SPEED INTERVAL enables the user to toggle between two chosen speeds with the touch of a single button.
SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is
designed to assist runners in training for a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, race. Accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER
workouts button.
SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed
to assist runners in training for a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, race. Accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER workouts
button.
PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are accessed through the PERSONAL TRAINER key. These include the pre-pro-
grammed DISTANCE GOAL, CALORIES GOAL, and TIME IN ZONE GOAL workouts, as well as up to six custom
workouts, which may be programmed by a fitness club manager or other authorized staff.
HEART RATE HILLTM takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart
rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.
HEART RATE INTERVALTM alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart rate
chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.
EXTREME HEART RATE TM is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up
and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user wears a heart rate chest
strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (ele-
vation), based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned.
The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensi-
ty level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For
accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The incline level is set to zero by default.
Change the level using the INCLINE ARROW key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired, or use
the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new speed value.
MANUAL
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ-
ent patterns are possible.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax) for
optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors. If the user is not
wearing a chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a
prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of
the treadmill to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic
benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.
NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the
theoretical maximum† (HRmax)**. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload
on the heart muscle.
NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
NOTE: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

HILL
The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense
cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window repre-
sents these high and low intervals as columns of illuminated LEDs, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys.
The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improve-
ment than steady-pace training.
The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window dis-
plays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the
workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the chest strap or continuously grip the LifepulseTM handles. The MESSAGE CEN-
TER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN and the HEART RATE
ZONE TRAINING programs.
1

4
Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target
zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.
Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.
Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.
Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rate
should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-prod-
ucts, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.
Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall
duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration
of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.
1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete all
four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.
10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over
10, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout
consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.
20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in
progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase.
This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

CUSTOM WORKOUTS
The treadmill console stores up to six custom workouts. These workouts are created by fitness club managers or other
authorized personnel. For information on creating these workouts, see the topic titled Programming Custom Workouts in
Section 5, titled The Manager’s Configuration.
To use custom workouts, press the PERSONAL TRAINER button repeatedly until the MESSAGE CENTER displays
“PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”. Then, press ENTER. The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a cus-
tom workout number, ranging from 1 to 6. Using the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad, select the number and
press ENTER. If a workout has not been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER simply scrolls to the next
number. If a workout has been created for the selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays successive prompts
to enter the weight and choose a speed. After these entries are provided, the workout begins.
CALORIES GOAL
This workout is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The objective is to burn a certain number of calories
in the selected time duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool-down phase, and
ends afterward.
DISTANCE GOAL
This workout is designed to build endurance. The objective is to cover a certain distance in miles. Once the objective is
met, the workout automatically goes into a cool-down phase, and ends afterward.
NOTE: When a user sets this goal with the TIME ARROW keys, the console displays the values in .10-mile increments.
TIME IN ZONE GOAL
The Time in Zone Goal program, a feature of Heart Rate Zone Training®, enhances FAT BURN and CARDIO workouts by
setting a duration for staying within the target zone as the workout goal. Once the duration objective is met, the workout goes
into a cool-down phase.
SPORT TRAININGTM
This distance-goal workout is designed for runners training for races. The program creates realistic terrains by setting differ-
ent incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the difficulty levels selected during the workout setup. A
1.5 percent incline grade, which is the baseline level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running
downhill. Incline durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the distance goal is met.
Two Sport TrainingTM programs are available on the treadmill:
•
•
SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, course.
SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, course.

HEART RATE HILLTM
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar-
get heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate
during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target
three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75
percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. The val-
ley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reach-
es 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once
the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its cor-
responding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and repeats
the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate
goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user
does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease
speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal
until the user reaches the current goal.

HEART RATE INTERVALTM
This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default
target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target
rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80
percent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute
warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three
minutes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three
minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within
the duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical
maximum† for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a heart
rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether
the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the cur-
rent goal.

TM
EXTREME HEART RATE
This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus. The
workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The
user must wear a chest strap or grip the LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout.
NOTE: It is recommended that users who run at speeds faster than 4.5 MPH wear the chest strap and do not use the
LifepulseTM sensors.
When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate and selects a walk speed and a jog speed. After a stan-
dard three-minute warm-up, the treadmill accelerates to the jog speed, and the incline increases, until the user reaches
the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabiliz-
ing period. Then, the incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate falls
to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of
speeds and incline levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration.
If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or
decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new
heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the
EXTREME HEART RATETM WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-
40)*.85 = 153.

FIT TEST
The treadmill Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout estimates car-
diovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must
grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is
based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the con-
sole will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.
The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenat-
ed blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and
exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
To set up the Fit Test:
•
•
•
•
•
Press the FIT TEST button repeatedly until the FIT TEST option appears in the message center. Press ENTER
to select the FIT TEST option.
The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN
ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.
The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN
ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.
The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the UP/DOWN ARROW
KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.
The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER SPEED)(2-4.5 mph). Consult the following rec-
ommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use
the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN SPEED ARROW KEYS to enter the corresponding level.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

NOTE: Treadmill will incline to 5% after a one minute warm-up.
Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user's heart
rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate (220-age).
Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used:
Lower Half of Range
higher age
Upper Half of Range
lower age
lower weight

taller
* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range
The computer will not accept:
O
heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute
O
body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)
O

If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, and
pressing ENTER.
It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, includ-
ing:
O
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
O
time of day
O
time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
O
time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)
O
time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60 percent to 85 percent of
the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for
Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.
The tables below list fit test results.

Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.
To set up one of these tests, press the FIT TEST key repeatedly, until the MESSAGE CENTER displays the name of the
desired test. Then, press ENTER. If the selected test is either the NAVY or MARINES test, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays a question as to whether the test is taking place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is 5,000 feet
above sea level; and for the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Using the ARROW KEYS, select the
answer “ABOVE 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “ABOVE 4,500 FEET”(MARINES) or “BELOW 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “BELOW 4,500
FEET”(MARINES) by toggling between these words displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER. Press Enter.
At the MESSAGE CENTER prompts, enter the weight, age, gender, and desired speed, using the ARROW keys or the
NUMERIC keypad. Press ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not change
these entries once the workout begins.
For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program goes into a cool-down. The
duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test. For less than five minutes, the cool-down is
one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cool-down is three minutes. For longer times, the cool-down is five minutes. The user
can abort the cool-down by pressing the STOP button or the CLEAR key. After the cool-down is aborted or completed, the
MESSAGE CENTER displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB, Army, and Marines tests; or a qualitative score,
such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.
For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained for 15 seconds, and a con-
verted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE CENTER during the workout summary.
SPEED INTERVAL
This program allows the user to toggle between user defined JOG and RUN speeds. The SPEED INTERVAL button will
flash throughout the workout. The user can toggle the speeds at any time during the workout by pressing the speed
interval button. The current speed will appear in the speed display window.

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the WORKOUT PRO-
FILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline per-
centage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline,
4.3 percent, is represented by a column with all seven rows lit.
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout
description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that
hill. To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.
USING INSTAPACETM FEEDBACK
The InstaPaceTM Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the
treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager’s Configuration. See Section 5, titled The Manager’s
Configuration, for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously when the user
adjusts the treadmill speed with the ARROW KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MES-
SAGE CENTER displays the pace after the treadmill reaches the new speed.
USING ZEROUTTM SPEED CONTROL
If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED
ARROW, the speed falls to 0 MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the
Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.2, titled Configuration Settings, for more information.

6.5 HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT
Do not move treadmill or place hands under treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!
THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS
A 5/16-inch hex key wrench is required for this task. The Life Fitness Treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards
which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust the tracking and centering
of the striding belt (A) without removing the guards.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit
may cause striding belt misalignment. See the topic titled "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the Section 1.2,
titled Set Up, prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.
Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of
the ROLLER must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an
ideal belt tension at the pivot point.
TRACKING (CENTERING) A STRIDING BELT
Two people are needed to perform this procedure.
1
2
Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.
One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses the MANUAL work-
out and sets the belt speed to 2.5 MPH (4.0 KPH).
3
If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and
then turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of
the roller.
If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right ten-
sion bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.
4
Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for several
minutes at 4.0 MPH. (6.4 KPH) to observe if tracking remains stabilized.
NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt does not track
properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed on page one.

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT
1
2
Enter the Manual workout and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).
NOTE: DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON BELT.
Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet
on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it
does not slip, the tension is correct.
3
4
Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.
Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side when
adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.
5
Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure proper tracking (See
Section 6.5 “How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt”). If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see the topic
titled Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt on the previous page.
Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch and
damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
6.6 PROACTIVE BELT WEAR NOTIFICATION
The treadmill proactively notifies the facility manager about belt wear through diagnostics. A single indicator is lit on the
treadmill console (if manager-enabled) when a belt check is required. This indicator light is located in the upper left cor-
ner of the workout profile window.
•
•
Automatic belt check reminder at 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
Notification based on “Cannot Attain Target Speed” errors for specific user weights/speeds: (The actual error
message is "UNABLE TO ATTAIN TARGET SPEED")
TO CHECK FOR NOTIFICATIONS:
To enter Belt/Deck Info, press and hold the PAUSE key and press the CLEAR key twice. Continue to hold down the
PAUSE key until the MESSAGE CENTER displays the words “SERVICE MENU”.
Then, release the PAUSE key, press the FAT_BURN key and then the ENTER_WEIGHT key. The MESSAGE CEN-
TER displays "Belt/Deck Info" and then, if a notification has been triggered, displays a notification message
"PLEASE CHECK BELT/DECK FOR SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE WEAR",`. If no notifications exist, the Belt/Deck Info
area will display belt/deck information.
NOTE: Notifications are automatically cleared once they have been displayed.
6.7 HOW TO OBTAIN PRODUCT SERVICE
1. Verify the symptom and review the operating instructions. The problem may be unfamiliarity with the product and its
features and workouts.
2. Locate and write down the serial number of the unit, which is located on a plate near the power switch.
3. Contact the nearest Life Fitness Customer Support Services group (refer to page one).
