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 hiker.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the hiker are adequately in-  
formed of all warnings and precautions.  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
13. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge  
suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor  
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of  
400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissi-  
pation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor  
must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and  
15 amps. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-  
825-2588 and order part number 146148.  
2. Use the hiker only as described in this manual.  
3. The hiker is intended for in-home use only.  
Do not use the hiker in any commercial, rental,  
or institutional setting.  
4. Place the hiker on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not  
place the hiker on any surface that blocks air  
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from  
damage, cover the floor under the hiker.  
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
5. Keep the hiker indoors, away from moisture  
and dust. Do not put the hiker in a garage or  
covered patio, or near water.  
15. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch from the  
rear roller (the location of the roller guards is  
shown on page 5). Unplug the power cord  
and adjust the roller guards, if necessary.  
6. Do not operate the hiker where aerosol prod-  
ucts are used or where oxygen is being ad-  
ministered.  
16. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the hiker if the  
power cord or plug is damaged, or if the hiker  
is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU  
BEGIN on page 5 if the hiker is not working  
properly.)  
7. Do not operate the hiker until it is properly as-  
sembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6.) You  
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in  
order to move the hiker.  
17. Never start the hiker while you are standing  
on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails  
while using the hiker.  
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the hiker at all times.  
9. The hiker should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 300 pounds.  
18. The hiker is capable of high speeds. Adjust  
the speed in small increments to avoid sud-  
den jumps in speed.  
10. Never allow more than one person on the  
hiker at a time.  
19. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors, including the user's  
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart  
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when  
using the hiker. Do not wear loose clothing  
that could become caught in the hiker.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
shoes. Never use the hiker with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
20. Never leave the hiker unattended while it is  
running. Remove the key, unplug the power  
cord, and move the on/off switch to the off po-  
sition when the hiker is not in use. (The loca-  
tion of the on/off switch is shown on page 5.)  
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 8),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor  
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on  
21. Do not change the grade of the hiker by plac-  
ing objects under the hiker.

22. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
25. Always remove iFit.com CD’s and videocas-  
settes from your CD player or VCR when they  
are not in use.  
23. When using iFit.com CD’s and videocassettes,  
an electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
when the grade and/or speed of the hiker is  
about to change. Always listen for the “chirp”  
and be prepared for grade and/or speed  
changes. In some instances, the grade and/or  
speed may change before the personal trainer  
describes the change.  
26. Inspect and tighten all parts of the hiker regu-  
larly.  
27.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the hiker, and before performing the mainte-  
nance and adjustment procedures described  
in this manual. Never remove the motor cover  
unless instructed to do so by an authorized  
service representative. Servicing other than  
the procedures in this manual should be per-  
formed by an authorized service representa-  
tive only.  
24. When using iFit.com CD’s and videocassettes,  
you can manually override the grade and  
speed settings by pressing the grade and  
speed buttons. However, when the next “chirp”  
is heard, the grade and/or speed will change to  
the next settings of the CD or video program.

Operation and Adjustment  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
Your hiker features a walking belt coated with  
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.  
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other  
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-  
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking  
belt and cause excessive wear.

DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Grounded Outlet Box  
Adapter  
Your hiker, like any other type of sophisticated elec-  
tronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sud-  
den voltage changes in your home’s power. Voltage  
surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from  
weather conditions or from other appliances being  
turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of your  
hiker being damaged, always use a surge suppres-  
sor with your hiker (see drawing 1 at the right).  
Surge Suppressor  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local  
NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-825-2588 and order  
part number 146148. Use only a single-outlet surge  
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage  
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must  
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or  
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.  
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for  
120 volts AC and 15 amps.  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-  
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Important: The hiker is not compatible with GFCI-  
equipped outlets.

time remaining in the current segment and the  
time remaining in the program will decrease; if you  
manually decrease the speed, the time remaining  
in the current segment and the time remaining in  
the program will increase.  
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to  
start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the hiker  
will automatically adjust to the first grade and  
speed settings for the program. Hold the handrails  
and begin walking.  
Each program is divided into several time seg-  
ments of different lengths. The Distance/Time dis-  
play shows both the time remaining in the program  
and the time remaining in the current segment of  
the program. One grade setting and one speed  
setting are programmed for each segment. The  
grade setting for  
the first segment  
Current Segment Column  
is shown in the  
flashing Current  
Segment column  
of the matrix.  
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop  
button. The displays will pause and the Distance/  
Time display will begin to flash. To restart the pro-  
gram, press the Start button or the Speed + button.  
To end the program, press the Stop button, remove  
the key, and then re-insert the key. Pressing the  
Moderate, Challenging, or Extreme button will also  
end the program and will select the next preset  
program or the manual mode.  
(The speed set-  
tings are not  
shown in the ma-  
trix.) The grade  
settings for upcoming segments are shown in the  
columns to the right.  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, both the Current Segment  
column and the column to the right will flash and a  
series of tones will sound. In addition, the Speed  
display will flash three times if the speed is about  
to change, and the Vertical Feet/Cals./Grade dis-  
play will flash if the grade is about to change.  
When the first segment is completed, all grade set-  
tings in the matrix will move one column to the left.  
The grade setting for the second segment will  
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment  
column and the hiker will automatically adjust to  
the grade and speed settings for the second seg-  
ment.  
Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 5 on page 11.  
When the program is completed, remove the  
key.  
Step onto the foot rails and remove the key from  
the console. Make sure to keep the key in a secure  
place. Note: If the displays and indicators on  
the console remain lit after the key is removed,  
the console is in the “demo” mode. Refer to  
page 19 and turn off the demo mode.  
The program will continue until the grade setting  
for the last segment is shown in the Current  
Segment column of the matrix and no time re-

Conditioning Guidelines  
Aerobic Exercise  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
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 grade and speed of the hiker until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
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.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-  
lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-  
tain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
To measure your  
heart rate, stop exer-  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
PROGRAM GUIDELINES  
Each program should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each program 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 heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.  
Fat Burning  
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  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the grade and speed of the hiker  
until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your  
training zone.  
A Cool-down—Finish each program 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  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
programs each week, with at least one day of rest be-  
tween programs. After a few months, you may com-  
plete up to five programs each week if desired. The  
key to success is to make exercise a regular and en-  
joyable part of your everyday life.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the grade and speed  
of the hiker until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.
