contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return  
the sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse  
sensor 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  
each use, it may remain activated longer than  
necessary, draining the battery prematurely.  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit.  
Chest Strap

• 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).

should be under  
your clothing, tight against your 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.  
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the  
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until  
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself  
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.  
The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.  
Locate the battery cover  
on the back of the sen-  
sor unit. Insert a coin  
into the slot in the cover,  
turn the cover counter-  
clockwise, and remove  
it. Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a new CR  
2032 battery, making  
sure that the battery is  
turned so the writing is  
on top. Make sure that  
the rubber gasket is in  
place in the sensor unit.  
Replace the battery  
cover and turn it clock-  
wise to close it.  
• 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 contractions  
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
• 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  
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,  
try relocating the treadmill.

HOW TO USE THE HAND PULSE SENSOR  
The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to  
measure your heart rate without wearing the chest  
pulse sensor. You can measure your heart rate before  
you begin exercising, during your workout, and again  
when you finish.  
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
• Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving  
your hands while measuring your heart rate.  
Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate  
readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used  
correctly, three dashes (– – –) will appear repeatedly  
in the CALS./FAT CALS./PULSE display but your  
heart rate will not be shown.  
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be  
turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on  
page 11.) In addition, the walking belt must be moving  
or the TIME/PACE display must be flashing (see step  
5 on page 12).  
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so  
may interfere with heart rate readings.  
Next, stand on  
the foot rails and  
place your hands

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
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.  
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.

Grounded Outlet Box  
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  
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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
CAUTION:  
Before operating the  
console, read the following precautions.  
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of  
features to make your workouts more effective.  
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-  
ing 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 track while the five displays  
provide continuous exercise feedback.  
• Always wear the clip (see part “O” in the  
drawing above) while operating the tread-  
mill. If the key is pulled from the console, the  
walking belt will stop.  
The console also features nine preset workout programs:  
six speed programs automatically control the speed of  
the treadmill as they guide you through effective work-  
outs; two heart rate programs automatically control the  
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart  
rate near predetermined settings; and a unique fitness  
test program measures the relative fitness level you  
have achieved.  
• The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments.  
• The chest pulse sensor and hand pulse  
sensor are not medical devices. Various  
factors, including the user's movement, may  
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.  
The pulse sensors are intended only as  
exercise aids in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
In addition, the console offers two custom workout  
programs. Each custom program automatically controls  
the speed and incline of the treadmill according to  
settings that you program.  
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over  
60 years of age and have been inactive, do  
not use the FAT BURN or AEROBIC program.  
If you are taking medication regularly, consult  
your physician to find whether the medication  
will affect your exercise heart rate.  
To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning  
on page 12. To use a speed program, see page 14.  
To use a heart rate program, see page 15. To use  
the fitness test program, see page 16. To create a  
custom program, see page 18. To use a custom  
program, see page 19.  
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the  
console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the  
console and use only a sealable water bottle.  
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 manual  
refer to miles.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
Burning Fat  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
To burn fat, you must exercise at a 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 of exercise does your body begin to use stored  
fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is  
near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.  
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.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-  
lines. For more detailed information about exercise,  
obtain a book or consult your physician.  
WARNING:  
The pulse sensors  
are not medical devices. Various factors,  
including your movement, may affect the  
accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse  
sensors are intended only as exercise aids in  
determining heart rate trends in general.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your car-  
diovascular 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. For effective exercise, your heart rate  
should be maintained at a level between 71.5% and  
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This  
is known as your training zone.  
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 intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the middle of your training zone.  
You can find your training zone in the table below.  
Training zones are listed according to age and physical  
condition.

Warm-up  
Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-  
ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles,  
and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout  
with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to  
warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 25).  
Training Zone Exercise  
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-  
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20  
to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-  
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your train-  
ing zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly  
and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

Cool-down  
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-  
plete up to five workouts each week if desired.  
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your  
muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and  
enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
Exercise Frequency  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown 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.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit 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  
counts, then relax. 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 each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.  
5
5. Inner Thigh Stretch  
Sit 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches:
