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.

your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-800-

806-3651 and order part number 146148.

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 or stop unexpectedly, which may result

in a fall and serious injury.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this

manual.

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

protect the floor or carpet from damage, place

a mat under the treadmill.

13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

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.

8. Never allow more than one person on the

treadmill at a time.

17. 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 exercise aids in determining heart

rate trends in general.

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 move 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 circuit breaker.)

10. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),

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 26.) 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 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see

20. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by

placing objects under the treadmill.

your CD player or VCR when you are not

using them.

21. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

25. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill regularly.

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.

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 at any time 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 28. This treadmill is intended for in-home use

each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-

essary, draining the battery prematurely.

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

one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-

ing. 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.

• 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.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose

it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°

Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

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 center of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user

must be within arm’s length of the console.

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 so-

lution, 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

conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-

tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high

power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that

this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• 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

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE 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

PERFORMANT LUBE^TM, 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.

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 appli-

ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-

sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always

use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see

drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-

pressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call

1-800-806-3651 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

monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate 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 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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a

personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio

cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home

stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play

special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes are available separately).

iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control

the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal

trainer coaches you through every step of your workout.

High-energy music provides added motivation. To pur-

chase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-

free 1-800-735-0768.

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to help you get the most from your exercise.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the

speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with

the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will

display continuous exercise feedback. You can even

measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-

sor or the chest pulse sensor.

Sixteen preset workout programs are also offered. Each

program automatically controls the speed and incline

of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. You

can even create custom workout programs and store

them in memory for future use.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you

can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-

cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-

tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

more information.

In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs

that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the

treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level

while you exercise.

shown in the program display.) The speed set-

tings for the next several segments are shown in

the columns to the right.

Next, press the Select Course button repeatedly

to select one of the weight loss, aerobic, or perfor-

mance programs. For example, if the words

“WEIGHT LOSS” appear in the main display, you

Interval program.

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, if the speed

and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change,

the speed setting and/or incline setting will flash in

the main display to alert you. When the first seg-

ment is completed, all speed settings will move

one column to the left. The speed setting for the

second segment will then be shown in the flashing

Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-

tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings

for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-

tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the

speed settings have moved to the left, the speed

settings will move downward so that only the high-

est indicators appear in the program display. If

some of the indicators in the Current Segment col-

umn are not lit when the speed settings move to

the left again, the speed settings will move back

up.

selected a program with more than seventeen

segments, the display will show only the first sev-

enteen speed settings.

The program will continue in this way until the

speed setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and no time remains in

the program. The walking belt will then slow to a

stop.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low

during the program, you can manually override

the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline but-

tons on the console. Every few times one of the

Speed buttons is pressed, an additional indicator

will light or darken in the Current Segment column.

(If any of the columns to the right of the Current

Segment column have the same number of lit indi-

cators as the Current Segment column, an addi-

tional indicator may light or darken in those

columns as well.) Note: If you manually adjust the

speed setting so that all of the indicators in the

Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings

in the program display will not move downward as

described above. Note: If you manually override

the speed or incline setting, when the next seg-

ment begins, the treadmill will automatically

adjust to the speed and incline settings for the

next segment.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low

during the program, you can adjust the setting

with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each

time the console compares your heart rate to the

segments of different lengths. (The main display

shows both the time remaining in the program and

the time remaining in the current segment of the

program.) One target heart rate setting is pro-

grammed for each segment.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and

the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-

matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If

this occurs, refer to the instructions on page 8.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop

button. Heart rate programs should not be stopped

temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate

program again, reselect the program and start it at

the beginning.

During each segment, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the current target heart

rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or

above the target heart rate setting, the speed of

the treadmill will automatically increase or de-

crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target

heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-

mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 on

page 18) and your heart rate is still too far below

the current target heart rate setting, the incline of

the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart

rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 5 on page 12.

Turn on the fans if desired.

See step 7 on page 13.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a

series of tones will sound and the speed setting

and/or the incline setting will flash in the main

display.

When the program has ended, remove the key.

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 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 exercise aids 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

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

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

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the

pulse sensor on the console.

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-

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

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
