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 the treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
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.
13. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-
sor away from heated surfaces.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not

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
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

TREADMILL OPERATION
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM 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 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.
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 1-800-806-
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

page 16 for an explanation of your estimated max-
imum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE pro-
gram will keep your heart rate near 80% of your
estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a
percentage that you select.
When the program is completed, remove the
key.
Step onto the foot rails. Remove the key from the
console and put the key in a secure place. Note: If
the displays and indicators on the console re-
main lit after the key is removed, the console is

off the demo mode.
When the treadmill is not in use, switch the on/off
switch near the power cord to the off position and
unplug the power cord.
When a pulse-driven program is selected, the
name of the selected program and the total pro-
gram time will scroll across the main display. The
words ENTER AGE and the current age setting
will then be shown (refer to step 4 on page 16).

Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-
minute segments. The main display will show both
the time remaining in the program and the time re-
maining in the current segment of the program.
One target heart rate setting is programmed for
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be
programmed for all segments.)
Enter your age.

You must enter your age to use a pulse-driven
program. To enter your age, press the + and – but-
tons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The but-
tons can be held down to enter your age quickly.
The age range is 20 to 80 years. When your age is
shown, press the ENTER AGE/WT button.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next
segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash
in the main display to alert you before the speed
and/or incline changes. The program will continue
until no time remains in the program. The walking
belt will then slow to a stop.
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE
program or the ENDURANCE PULSE program,
go to step 6. If you have selected the MANUAL
PULSE program, go to step 5.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If the speed and incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-
ting with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons.
5
After you have entered your age, the words
ENTER PERCENT and the current target heart
rate setting for the program will be shown in the
main display. The target heart rate setting repre-
sents a percentage of your estimated maximum
heart rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is
220 minus your age. For example, if you are 30
years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is
190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are
30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is
equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline
will automatically increase; if you increase the
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. Note: When the incline reaches the
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.
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.
If desired, you can change the target heart rate
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held
down to change the target heart rate setting
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.
To stop the program at any time, press the STOP
button. Pulse-driven programs should not be
stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a
pulse-driven program again, reselect the program
and start it at the beginning.
Press the START button to start the program.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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 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
handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor. If
your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed
and incline of the treadmill.
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.
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
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
