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.   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.   1 HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD   Grounded Outlet Box   Surge Suppressor   Grounding Pin   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 productÑif it will   not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet   Grounding Pin   Grounded Outlet   Grounding Plug   installed by a qualified electrician.   2 Grounded Outlet Box   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 possibility of   your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge   suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at   the right).   Surge Suppressor   Lug   Metal Screw   Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores   and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge   suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage   surge suppressor (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.   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   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.   7 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

It may also be helpful to set the speed   control on the console to FAT BURN to help you main-   tain the proper intensity level. (See page 9.)   WARNING:   Before beginning   this or any exercise program, consult your   physician. This is especially important for in-   dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals   with pre-existing health problems.   Aerobic Exercise   If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-   tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó 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. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on   the console to AEROBIC to help you maintain the   proper intensity level. (See page 9.)   The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-   ercise program. RememberÑthese are general guide-   lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-   tain 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 de-   sired 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 exer-   cise. (This chart is also found on the console.)   High Performance Athletic Conditioning   If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,   set the speed control on the console to PERFOR-   MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level.   (See page 9.) Note: During the first few weeks of your   exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low   end of your training zone.   HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE   To measure your   heart rate, stop ex-   ercising and place   two fingers on   your wrist as   shown. Take a six-   second heartbeat   count, and multiply   the result by ten to   find your heart   rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart   rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your   heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or in-   cline of the treadmill accordingly.   To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age   on the left side of the chart (ages are rounded off to   the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to   the right of your age. The three numbers are your   Òtraining zone.Ó The lower two numbers are recom-   mended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number   is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.   WORKOUT GUIDELINES   Fat Burning   A well-rounded workout includes the following three   important parts:   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 one of the lower two numbers in your   A Warm-up   Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching   and light exercise (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on   page 15). A proper warm-up increases your body   temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation   for exercise.   14   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   Training Zone Exercise   to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your   muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.   After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-   cise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to   60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-   cise program, do not keep your pulse in your training   zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly   and deeply as you exerciseÑnever hold your breath.   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.   A Cool-down   The key to success is to make exercise a regular and   enjoyable part of your everyday life.   Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching   SUGGESTED STRETCHES   The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the   drawings below. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever 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.   2 2. Hamstring Stretch   Sit with one leg extended.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:   Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.   3 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 tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:   Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles.   4 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.   5 5.
