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.

11. 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 or stop unexpectedly, which may result

in a fall and serious injury.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this

manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at

least 2 m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it and 0.5

m (2 ft.) on each side. Do not place the tread-

mill on any surface that blocks air openings.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage,

place a mat under the treadmill.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

13. Never move the walking belt while the power

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if

the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the

treadmill is not working properly. (See

BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-

mill is not working properly.)

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

garage or covered patio, or near water.

14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrails while using the treadmill.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or oxygen is administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

sudden jumps in speed.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons

weighing more than 114 kg (250 lbs.). Never

allow more than one person on the treadmill at

a time.

16. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.

Various factors, including the user’s move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensors are intended

only as exercise aids in determining heart

rate trends in general.

8. 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 ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare

feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key, unplug

the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit

breaker to the off position when the treadmill

is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for

the location of the reset/off circuit breaker.)

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 8),

plug the power cord into a surge suppressor

(not included) and plug the surge suppressor

into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15

or more amps. No other appliance should be on

the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 21.)

You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20

kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

10. Use only a CUL-listed surge suppressor of 450

joules minimum surge dissipation with voltage

rating of 400 volts or less, rated at 15 amps,

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

with a 1 mm (14-gauge) cord of 1.5 m (5 ft.) or

less in length. Do not use an extension cord.

20. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, an

electronic “chirping” sound will alert you

when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill

is about to change. Always listen for the

“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-

cline changes. In some instances, the speed

and/or incline may change before the per-

sonal trainer describes the change.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill every three months.

24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-

ing.

25.

DANGER:

Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the treadmill, and before performing the main-

tenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the

motor hood unless instructed to do so by an

authorized service representative. Servicing

other than the procedures in this manual

should be performed by an authorized service

representative only.

21. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, you

can manually override the speed and incline

settings at any time by pressing the speed and

incline buttons. However, when the next

“chirp” is heard, the speed and/or incline will

change to the next settings of the CD or video

program.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s and videos

from your CD player or VCR when you are not

using them.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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 LUBE^™, 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).

Grounding Pin

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

The two profiles on the left side of the LED matrix

show how the target heart rate will change during

the programs. During heart rate program 1, your

heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your

estimated maximum heart rate; during heart rate

program 2, your heart rate will reach approxi-

mately 80% of your estimated maximum heart

rate. Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is

determined 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).

has shifted to the right, turn the left bolt counterclock-

wise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walk-

ing belt. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the

treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is

centered.

b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the

key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen

wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn.

When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should

be able to lift each side of the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off

the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt

centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and walk

on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-

ing belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly

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

(17) and the Magnet (12) on the left side of the Pulley (11).

REEBOK UNIVERSITY

Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a

vision to establish a “university without walls” that

develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness

programming for the fitness industry throughout the

world.

WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVAS-

CULAR DISEASE

Several studies have found that regular walking at any

speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density

lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the

body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglyc-

erides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for

Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok

University has created a host of original programs,

such as Step Reebok^®, Walk Reebok^SM, Slide Reebok^SMcardiovascular disease.

and Reebok City Jam^SM. The industry has adopted

Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our

guidelines and terminology are used by fitness profes-

sionals and participants around the world, and our

exceptional programming has been approved in the

United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing educa-

tion credits.

Duncan and his colleagues³concluded that exercise

does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular

risk factors. In other words, people who choose to

stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for

cardiovascular disease.

After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000

Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger

and his colleagues⁴concluded that walking as little as

five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardio-

vascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can

reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.

Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve

aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can

reduce a person’s risk for heart disease.

WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY

ENDURANCE

Scientific studies confirm that

walking at a moderate to brisk

pace can enhance aero-

bic fitness. Rippe and

his colleagues¹found

that of 500 subjects

tested, 67% of the men

and 90% of the women

were able to reach their

target heart rates by

walking 4 to 4.5 miles

per hour.

WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION

Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.

The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the

more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound

person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will

burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person

will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline

and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If

this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on

level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.⁵

Pollock and his colleagues²found that middle-aged

men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour

for 40 minutes four times per week had the same car-

diovascular improvements as men the same age who

jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although

the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than

the runners, the increased duration and frequency of

walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic ben-

efits as the runners.

It should be noted that participants who do not wish to

walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number

of calories by walking for longer periods of time.

WALKING AND BONE DENSITY

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United

States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.

An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the

density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening

since many older people die as a result of complica-

tions suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in

the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce

the risk of osteoporosis.

On the basis of current research, it seems clear that

walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel-

lent aerobic activity.

Several studies have reported that regular walking at

moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone

density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues⁶found

that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 min-

utes per day had higher bone mineral content than

subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.

Jones and his colleagues⁷reported that sedentary

women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular

walking program and continued for one year increased

their bone density.

During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants

who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and

5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that

necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and

his colleagues¹⁰reported that 14% of the elderly sub-

jects participating in a walking study suffered training-

related orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and

foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as-

signed to “fast walking.”

It is important to note that all forms of exercise have

some degree of risk associated with the activity.

Generally, the less mechanical stress on the muscu-

loskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.

Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the inci-

dence of injury appears to be low when compared to

other high-impact activities.

Since walking can be comfortably performed by people

of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-

tive in reducing a person’s risk for developing osteo-

porosis.

WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION

There are many stressors in today’s society, including

economic concerns, work-related pressures and the

need to balance career goals with home responsibili-

ties. People who are unable to cope with these types

of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may

even become physically or psychologically ill.

WALKING AND INJURIES

Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.

Walking is considered to be a “low impact” activity be-

cause one foot remains in contact with the ground at

all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour pro-

duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times

body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in-

creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times

body weight.

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 or 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 or incline

of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle

number in your training zone.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices.

Various factors, including the user’s move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensors are intended

only as exercise aids 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 or 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 highest 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

or 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. 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

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

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

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. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot to-

ward 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. 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. 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.
