OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord  
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a  
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge  
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-  
propriate 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 plat-  
form. 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 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 protector to a 2-pole recep-  
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-  
let 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 in-  
stalled by a qualified electrician.  
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.  
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 re-  
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off.  
To decrease the pos-  
1
sibility of your tread-  
mill being damaged,  
always use a surge  
protector (not in-  
cluded) with your  
treadmill.

SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE  
POWER CORD. Next, remove the screws from the  
hood and carefully remove the hood. Locate the Reed  
Switch (97) and the Magnet (9) on the left side of the  
Pulley (10). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is aligned  
with the Reed Switch. Check the gap between the  
Magnet and the Reed Switch—it should be about  
1/8”. If necessary, loosen the Screw (98) and move  
the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
Fat Burning  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
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 energy. 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 treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training  
zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on  
the console to FAT BURN.  
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 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  
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.  
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 middle of your training zone. It  
may also be helpful to set the speed control on the  
console to AEROBIC.  
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 recommended  
heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
High Performance Athletic Conditioning  
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,  
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone, or set the speed control on the console to PER-  
FORMANCE. Note: During the first few weeks of your  
exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end  
of your training zone.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
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 lowest number is the recommended  
heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the rec-  
ommended heart rate for aerobic exercise; and the  
highest number is for advanced conditioning.  
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 circu-  
lation 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 measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too  
high or too low, adjust the speed and incline of the  
treadmill.

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.  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the  
drawings at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never  
bounce.  
1
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.

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 both legs. To cause further stretching of the  
achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:  
Calves, achilles tendons 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 both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
