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. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,  
which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two  
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill  
on any surface that blocks air openings. To  
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place 14. 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  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
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.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 300 pounds.  
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
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. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug the  
power cord, and switch the reset/off circuit  
breaker to the off position when the treadmill  
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for  
the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)  
10. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),  
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  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
19. 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 45 pounds (20 kg) to  
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 10. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-  
825-2588 and order part number 146148, or  
see your local electronics store.  
20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under the treadmill.  
21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

22. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, 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 in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
25. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill regularly.  
26. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
27.  
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  
authorized service representative. Servicing  
other than the procedures in this manual  
should be performed by an authorized service  
representative only.  
23. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you  
can manually 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 CD or video program.  
24. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR and disconnect your  
MP3 player when you are not using them.  
28. 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.  
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property  
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.  
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a  
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal  
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off  
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.  
Assembly requires the included allen wrench  
and your own phillips screwdriver  
and  
wire cutters . For help identifying the assembly hardware, see the hardware drawings below.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT  
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 treadmill is not compatible with  
GFCI-equipped outlets.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-  
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-  
icone spray or other substances to the walking  
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will  
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive  
wear.  
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.  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man if you are in doubt as to whether the  
product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided with the product—if it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden 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 treadmill being damaged, always use a surge  
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at  
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-825-  
2588 and order part number 146148.

Surge Suppressor  
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is  
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-  
pressor (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. There must be a moni-  
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate  
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a  
properly functioning surge suppressor could result  
in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If  
the control system is damaged, the walking belt  
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-  
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
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

Each heart rate program is divided into 20 one-  
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-  
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-  
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two  
or more consecutive segments.  
During each segment, the console will regularly  
compare your heart rate to the current target heart  
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above  
the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of  
the treadmill will automatically increase or de-  
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target  
heart rate.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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 our Customer Service Department toll-  
free at 1-888-825-2588, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).  
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor  
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 10). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-  
sor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10. Important: The treadmill is not com-  
patible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

b
3”–4”  
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 adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a  
turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you  
should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 3 to  
4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep  
the walking belt centered. 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.

free.  
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, 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 centered.  
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 side of the walk-  
ing belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be  
careful to keep the walking belt centered. 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 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  
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 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 sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including your movement,  
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.  
The sensor is 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  
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.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
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.  
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
pulse sensor on the console.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
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.  
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-

Stand with your knees bent 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. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees  
and back.  
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot to-  
ward 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. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,  
lower back and groin.

3. 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. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons and ankles.

4. 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. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. 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. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and
