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. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
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, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,  
which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it and two  
feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill  
on any surface that blocks air openings. To

sudden jumps in speed.  
7. The treadmill should be used only by persons  
weighing 300 pounds or less.  
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and switch the reset/off cir-  
cuit breaker to the off position when the  
treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on  
page 5 for the location of the circuit breaker.)  
8. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes  
that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is  
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the  
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor-  
mance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,  
non-abrasive cleaner.  
Assembly requires the included allen wrenches  
and wire cutters  
and your own phillips screwdriver  
.
Use the drawings below to identify the hardware used during assembly. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag,  
check to see if it has been preattached to one of the parts to be assembled.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED 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 high-  
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-  
icone spray or other substances to the walking  
belt or the walking platform. 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 PROFORM dealer or call 1-888-533-1333  
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 moni-  
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate  
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, accelerate, 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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-  
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer in your home. Using the included audio  
cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home  
stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play  
special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com  
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).  
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control  
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal  
trainer guides you through every step of your workout.  
High-energy music provides added motivation. To  
purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-  
free 1-888-533-1333.  
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of  
features designed to help you get the most from your  
workouts.  
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the  
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with  
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will  
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even  
measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip  
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see  
page 23).  
In addition, the console features six preset programs.  
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-  
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-  
tive workout. You can even create your own custom  
programs and store them in memory for future use.  
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you  
cess programs directly from the internet. See  
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the  
steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset

Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 6 on page 12.  
CAUTION:  
If you have heart prob-  
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and  
have been inactive, do not use the pulse pro-  
grams. If you are taking medication regularly,  
consult your physician to find whether the  
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 7 on page 12.  
When you are finished exercising, remove the  
key from the console.  
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.  
Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.  
When the program has ended, make sure that  
the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest set-  
ting. Next, remove the key from the console and  
put it in a safe place.Note: If the display remains  
lit after the key is removed, the console is in  
the “demo” mode. See page 23 and turn off the  
demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, switch  
the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position and  
unplug the power cord.

To select a  
pulse pro-  
gram, press  
the Program  
Select button  
repeatedly.  
The words  
“PULSE  
PROGRAM”  
will appear in the display, and the display will  
show which pulse program (“P1” or “P2”) is se-  
lected. When a pulse program is selected, the ma-  
trix in the lower part of the display will show the  
first seven target heart rate settings of the program.  
Note: During pulse program 1, your heart rate will  
reach approximately 85% of your estimated maxi-  
mum heart rate. During pulse program 2, your  
heart rate will reach approximately 80% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate. Note: Your maxi-  
mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your  
age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years  
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190  
beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, both the Current Segment  
column and the column to the right will flash and a  
series of tones will sound. In addition, the speed  
setting and the incline setting will flash in the dis-  
play to alert you. When the first segment ends, all  
target heart rate settings will move one column to  
the left. The target heart rate setting for the sec-  
ond segment will then be shown in the flashing  
Current Segment column.  
Enter your age.

When a pulse program is  
selected, the word  
“AGE” will appear in the  
display and the current  
age setting will begin to

entered your age, simply press the Start button  
(the program will not start at this time). If you have  
not entered your age, press the Incline increase  
and decrease buttons to enter your age, and then  
press the Start button.  
During each segment, the console will compare  
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your  
heart rate is too far below or above the target  
heart rate, the speed of the walking belt will auto-  
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart  
rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed  
reaches the maximum speed setting of the pro-  
gram (see step 5 on this page) and your heart rate  
is still too far below the current target heart rate,  
the incline of the treadmill will also increase to  
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.  
Enter a maximum speed setting.  
After you have entered  
your age, the letters  
“SPd” will appear in the  
display and the maxi-  
mum speed setting of  
the program will begin to  
flash. If desired, press the Incline increase and  
decrease buttons to change the maximum speed  
setting. When the desired setting is shown, press  
the Start button (the program will not start at this  
time).  
The program will continue in this way until the tar-  
get heart rate setting for the last segment is  
shown in the Current Segment column and the  
last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow  
to a stop.  
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to  
start the program.  
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low  
at any time during the program, you can adjust the  
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,  
each time the console compares your heart rate to  
the target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of  
the treadmill may automatically change to bring  
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.  
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-  
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and  
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails  
and begin walking.  
Each pulse program is divided into 20 or 30 one-  
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-  
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-  
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two  
or more consecutive segments.  
If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters “PLS” will flash in the display and the  
speed and incline of the treadmill may automati-  
cally decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions  
included with the optional chest pulse sensor.  
The target  
heart rate  
setting for  
the first seg-  
ment will be  
shown in the  
flashing  
Current Segment column of the matrix. The target  
heart rate settings for the next four segments will  
be shown in the columns to the right.

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE  
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
The console features an information mode that keeps  
track of the total number of hours that the treadmill has  
been operated and the total number of miles that the  
walking belt has moved. The information mode also al-  
lows you to select miles or kilometres as the unit of  
measurement and to turn on and turn off the demo  
mode.  
An optional chest pulse sensor adds even more fea-  
tures to the console. The chest pulse sensor offers  
hands-free operation, and enables you to use the con-  
sole’s two heart rate programs. To purchase the op-  
tional chest pulse sensor, call toll-free 1-888-533-  
1333.  
To select the information mode, hold down the Stop  
button while inserting the key into the console. When  
the information mode is selected, the following informa-  
tion will be shown in the display:  
The left side of the display  
will show the total number of

used. An “E” for english miles or an “M” for metric kilo-  
metres will appear in the right side of the display. Press  
the Speed + button to change the unit of measurement.  
IMPORTANT: If a “d” appears in the right side of the  
display, the console is in the “demo” mode. This mode  
is intended to be used only when a treadmill is dis-  
played in a store. When the console is in the demo  
mode, the power cord can be plugged in, the key can  
be removed from the console, and the indicators in the  
display will automatically appear in a preset sequence,  
although the buttons on the console will not operate. If a  
“d” appears when the information mode is selected,  
press the Speed – button so the “d” disappears.  
To exit the information mode, remove the key from the  
console.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
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 heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer-  
cise—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-  
exercise problems.  
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
pulse sensor.  
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. The key  
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
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  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-

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 ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons 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 each  
leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
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: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
