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 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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near one of the lower two numbers in your  
training zone. 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 8).  
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  
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.  
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 higher 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 8).  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-  
tion, obtain a book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
High Performance Athletic Conditioning  
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. (The  
chart is also found on the treadmill console.)  
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 8). 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:  
A Warm-upÑStart 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.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age. These numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó The  
smaller two numbers are recommended heart rates for  
fat burning; the larger number is the recommended  
heart rate for aerobic exercise. To measure your heart  
rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the con-  
sole. (See page 9.) If your heart rate is too high or too  
low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill.  
Training Zone ExerciseÑAfter 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.)  
A Cool-downÑFinish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the  
flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-  
exercise problems.  
Burning Fat  
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,  
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 of regular exer-  
cise, you may complete 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.
