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 and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.
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
Before You Begin on page 5 if the treadmill
is not working properly.)
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
userÕs manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with
eight feet of clearance behind it. 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.
14. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill
in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
15. Always hold the handrails while running on
the treadmill. When walking, hold the
handrails or use the included hand weights.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
16. Do not perform exercises with the hand
weights at speeds higher than a walk. Using
weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your
balance. Exercises using weights should be
attempted only by experienced users.
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 250 pounds. Never allow
more than one person on the treadmill at a
time.
17. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid
sudden jumps in speed.
18. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
8. Wear appropriate clothing when using the
treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that
could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic
support clothes are recommended for both
men and women.
29. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it
is running. Always remove the key, unplug
the power cord and move 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.)
9. Always wear athletic shoes when using the
treadmill. Never use the treadmill with bare
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
10. When connecting the power cord (see How to
Plug in the Power Cord on page 10), plug the
power cord into a surge protector (not
included) and plug the surge protector into a
grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit.
20. During the last ten seconds of any program
except the manual mode, the incline of the
treadmill will automatically decrease to 1.0%.
Keep your feet and objects from beneath the
treadmill.
11. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at
15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

How to Use the CardioTrackª Heart Rate Monitor
3. Pull the transmitter away from your body a few
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the
inner side. The electrode areas are the two long,
grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as
saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode
areas. Return the transmitter to a position against
your chest.
IMPORTANT: If a user has an implanted
medical device such as a pacemaker, the
user must check with his or her physician
prior to using the heart rate monitor.
The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially
designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get
the best performance from the heart rate monitor,
please read the instructions below.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this userÕs
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used
with the console. If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the
PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is
excessively high or low when the heart rate moni-
tor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below.
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the transmitter. Follow the steps
below to put on the heart rate monitor.
1. Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function
when positioned as described, try moving it slightly
lower or higher on your chest.

must be within armÕs length of the console.
1. Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap through the hole in one
end of the transmitter. Press the end of the trans-
mitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab
should be flush with the front of the transmitter.
5. The heart rate monitor 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.
2. Wrap the

Treadmill Operation
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
This product is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the
surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Your treadmill 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
platform. They 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
illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may
be used to connect the surge protector 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.

whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the prod-
uctÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet 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
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
CAUTION:Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective.
¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when
turning on the power or starting the
walking belt.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, you can watch your
progress on the LED ÒtrackÓ while the six displays
provide continuous exercise feedback. Eight preset
programs are also offered: three HEART RATE
programs automatically control the speed and incline
of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near predeter-
mined settings, and five INCLINE programs
automatically control the incline of the treadmill as they
guide you through effective workouts. The console also
features two CUSTOM programs that allow you to create
your own programs and store them in the consoleÕs
memory for future use.
¥ Always wear the clip (see the drawing
above) while operating the treadmill. If the
key is pulled from the console, the walking
belt will stop.
¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments.
¥ The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning
on page 12. To use the HEART RATE programs, see
page 15. To use the INCLINE programs, see page 17.
To create a CUSTOM program, see page 19. To use a
CUSTOM program, see page 20.
¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are
over 60 years of age and have been inactive,
do not use the HEART RATE programs. If
you are taking medication regularly, consult
your physician to find whether the medica-
tion will affect your exercise heart rate.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see Speed Display on page
13). For simplicity, all instructions in this userÕs manual
refer to miles.
¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
the console dry. Use a sealable water bottle.

Maintenance and Trouble-shooting
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 contact our Customer Service Department.
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is plugged into
a properly grounded outlet. (See How to Plug in the Power Cord on page 10.) Use only a UL-listed surge
protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. If using a surge protector with
a power switch, make sure that the power switch is in the on position.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. (See step
2 on page 12.)
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the
power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit
c
breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five
minutes and then press the switch back in.

Conditioning Guidelines
Determine your target heart rate.
3
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which
you would like your heart to work during aerobic
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum
number of times that your heart can pump during
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only
an estimation of your MHRÑonly clinical stress
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
¥ Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-in-sugar
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
¥ Eat at least five servings of fruits and
vegetables each day.
¥ Cut back on red meat consumption; eat lean
meat, white meat, and fish.
¥ Choose healthy snacks; bring healthy foods
with you to work or in the car.
Once you have determined your MHR, you can
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular levelÑ
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.
¥ Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your
portion sizeÑdon't binge or overeat. Eat
slowly.
¥ Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.
¥ Pay attention to fat content and calories.
¥ Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.
¥ Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a
day.
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice
during an aerobic conditioning session. First, check
your heart rate five minutes into your workout to be
sure that you are at the proper intensity. Then,
check it again near the end of your workout to
verify that you have maintained your target heart
rate for the recommended period of time.
EXERCISE STEPS
The following 9 steps for designing your exercise
program were developed by exercise physiologists at
NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only
a part of a safe and effective training program. There
are many other aspects to developing a life-long
commitment to physical fitness.

3. Hamstring StretchÑSit with one leg extended.
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and
rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for
both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and
groin.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.
However, be sure to stay within your target heart
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per
week for 60 minutes per workout.
4. Quadriceps StretchÑWith 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 to 30
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your
back straight.
5. Inner Thigh StretchÑSit 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 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
Warm up before you begin.

A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind
for vigorous exercise. It also provides insurance
against injury and soreness. Warm up with two to
five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal intensity.
1
Stretch after your warm-up.
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less susceptible
to injury. Perform the recommended stretches on a
smooth, flat surface.
The correct form for several stretches is described
below (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure to
move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.

1. Toe Touch StretchÑSit with your knees bent
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
4
2. Calf/Achilles StretchÑWith 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 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of
the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles.

to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in average
physical condition should exercise for 20 to 30
minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want to
lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 minutes.
The key to the time factor is that you maintain your
target heart rate for the duration of the workout
period.
¥ Effective weight loss and management
¥ Added protection from heart disease
¥ Increased strength and health of bones
¥ Higher levels of energy for greater productivity
during the day
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes
from the start, which is common, try to exercise for
five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.
Recent research indicates that several short
workouts in one day can also provide fitness
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase and
it will become easier to exercise for longer periods
of time.
¥ Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed
day
¥ Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

Cool down after aerobic exercise.
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"
may help you to remember these three parts:
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease slowly
after it has been elevated. This helps the blood
flow from your extremities back to your heart. Keep
your legs moving on the treadmill at a slower pace
for at least five minutes following the aerobic
phase.
ÒFÓ stands for the frequency of your workouts.
Three to five workouts per week are recom-
mended. Exercise at least four times a week for
weight loss.

your aerobic exercise session: once during the
session and once again at the end. Maintain a
workout intensity level within your Target Heart
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate using
the heart rate monitor. An alternate method is
described below:
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle soreness.
See step 5 on page 27.
Participate in strength training.
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a
happy life than just about anything else known to
medical science today."
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This will
make your heart rate stronger and easier to feel.

A strength-training program increases your lean
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning
body fat. With additional muscle mass and
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an
exercise program. You will also be less prone to
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingersÑlet
the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find your
pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.

and your heart rate has moved below your target heart
rate zone.
WORKOUT TIPS
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many
of life's aches and pains. However, it takes time
for your body to adapt to any new routine. Below
are some tips that will help ease you into your
new NordicTrack routine.
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward
yourself as you are successful.
¥ Begin and end each exercise session with the
stretches on page 27. Stretch in a smooth,
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to
30 seconds. You may experience some initial
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of
exercising inactive or poorly stretched
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has
moved below your target heart rate zone.
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching
routine must be performed every day.
Work out at the Advanced level once you have reached
your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be a mainte-
nance program and should continue on a regular, long-
term basis.
¥ Be aware of your body's signals and react to
them accordingly. At your correct exercise
intensity, you should be able to whistle or
maintain a normal conversation. If during
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician. Your heart rate may
also be affected by such things as stress,
caffeine, nicotine or prescription drugs.
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety
to your workout routine and further condition your
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic conditioning.
It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity followed by
active rest periods of exercise at a lower intensity.
For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resistance,
fast exercise* is followed by a two- to three-minute
active rest period of low-resistance, slow exercise. The
duration of these periods should be based more on
how you feel rather than time. A sequence such as this
should be repeated 5 to 20 times during your workout
session.
WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At this
level you should be concerned with slowly improving
your fitness level and endurance.
*Estimated maximum heart rate (MHR) = 220 - your age.
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
