IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-  
faces.  
13. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if  
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the  
treadmill is not working properly. (See TROU-  
BLESHOOTING on page 26 if the treadmill is  
not working properly.)  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least 2.5 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and  
0.5 m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the  
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-  
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-  
age, place a mat under the treadmill.  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
16. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as an exercise aid in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 135 kg (300 lbs.).  
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the  
power cord, and switch the on/off switch to  
the “off” position when the treadmill is not in  
use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-  
tion of the on/off switch.)  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes  
that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 24.) You  
must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) to  
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page  
10), plug the power cord into an earthed cir-  
cuit. No other appliance should be on the same  
circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA ap-  
proved BS1362 type should be fitted to the  
fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used.  
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.  
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.  
11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-  
2
conductor, 1mm (14-gauge) cord that is no  
longer than 1.5 m (5 ft.).

21. When using iFIT.com programs, an electronic  
“chirping” sound will alert you when the  
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about  
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and  
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.  
In some instances, the speed and/or incline  
may change before the personal trainer de-  
scribes the change.  
24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill regularly.  
25. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
26.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the treadmill, and before performing the main-  
tenance and adjustment procedures de-  
scribed in this manual. Never remove the  
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an  
authorised service representative. Servicing  
other than the procedures in this manual  
should be performed by an authorised service  
representative only.  
22. When using iFIT.com programs, you can man-  
ually override the speed and incline settings  
by pressing the speed and incline buttons.  
However, when the next “chirp” is heard, the  
speed and/or incline will change to the next  
settings of the program.  
23. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR and disconnect your  
MP3 player when you are not using them.  
27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use the treadmill in any commer-  
cial, rental, or institutional setting.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This  
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing  
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into  
the hole in one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the  
inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under  
the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush  
with the front of the sensor unit.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-  
light for extended periods of time; do not expose it to  
temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C  
(15° F).  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.  
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never  
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest  
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-  
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function  
properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-  
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse  
sensor does not function when positioned as de-  
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.  
Next, wrap the chest  
pulse sensor around  
your chest and attach  
the other end of the  
chest strap to the  
sensor unit. Adjust  
the length of the  
chest strap, if neces-  
sary. The chest pulse

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor  
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you  
begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.  
sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your  
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or  
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on  
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.  
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-  
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the con-  
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must  
be within arm’s length of the console.  
Next, pull the sensor unit away from your body a few  
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner  
side (the electrode areas are covered by shallow  
ridges). Using saline solution such as saliva or contact  
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the  
sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-  
tions such as premature ventricular contractions  
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be af-  
fected by magnetic interference caused by high  
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that  
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate  
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off  
when it is removed and the electrode areas are  
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after  
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-  
essary, draining the battery prematurely.  
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see  
page 28).

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and  
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call the telephone number on the front  
cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet (see page 10). If an ex-  
tension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm2 (14-gauge) cord that is no longer than 1.5  
m (5 ft.). Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.  
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.  
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill  
c
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as  
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the  
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press  
the switch back in.

Locate the Reed Switch (10) and the Magnet (7) on  
the left side of the Pulley (8). Turn the Pulley until the  
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure  
that the gap between the Magnet and the Reed  
Switch is about 3 mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen  
the Screw (27), move the Reed Switch slightly, and  
then retighten the Screw. Reattach the Hood (not  
shown), making sure the screws are in the same holes  
from which they were removed. Run the treadmill for a  
few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm2 (14-gauge) cord that is no longer  
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).  
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-  
b
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-  
come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE  
POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both  
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When  
the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be  
able to lift each edge of the walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3  
to 4 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep  
the walking belt centred. Plug in the power cord, in-  
sert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.  
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, remove the key and  
a
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt  
has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to turn  
the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the  
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left  
rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be  
careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the  
power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a  
few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.  
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove  
b
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using  
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,  
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-  
ened, you should be able to lift each edge of the  
walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the walking plat-  
form. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred.  
Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully  
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until  
the walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-  
SHOOTING on page 9.  
b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery  
b
should be changed. To replace the battery, first locate the battery  
cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the  
cover, and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position.  
Then, remove the cover.  
Battery Cover  
Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit, and insert a new  
CR 2032 battery, with the battery oriented so the writing on top.  
Make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Then,  
reinsert the battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

PROBLEM: The shock does not assist the lowering of the treadmill frame  
SOLUTION: a. Environmental factors such as cold temperatures can affect the performance of the shock. To re-  
store shock performance, hold the ends of the frame near the endcaps firmly with both hands,  
and carefully lower the frame to the floor and then raise it several times. To decrease the possi-  
bility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread-  
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in  
your training zone.  
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.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as an exercise aid in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
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 aerobic exercise,  
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-  
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
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 recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes  
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-  
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-  
tion in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your  
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few  
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your  
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never  
hold your breath.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near 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 define your “train-  
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the  
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-  
ercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
Fat Burning  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-  
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-  
plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key  
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively  
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
