ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the Incline Trainer, call toll-free 1-800-445-2480.
Assembly requires two persons. Set the Incline Trainer 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 Incline Trainer walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During ship-
ping, 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 Incline Trainer performance. 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.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
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.
Important: The incline trainer is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.
Your incline trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to the
walking belt or the walking platform. Such sub-
stances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause
excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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.
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 incline trainer, 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 incline trainer being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with your incline trainer (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local IMAGE dealer or call the
toll-free telephone number on the front cover of
this manual and order part number 146148, or see
your local electronics store.

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 indicate whether it
is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly
functioning surge suppressor could result in dam-
age to the control system of the incline trainer. 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-

HOW TO USE A SPEED PROGRAM OR AN
INCLINE PROGRAM

A moment after the button is pressed, the Incline
Trainer will automatically adjust to the first speed
and incline settings for the program. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
The console offers 5 speed programs and 10 incline
programs. All 15 programs automatically control the
speed and the incline of the Incline Trainer as they
guide you through effective workouts. Speed programs
regulate the intensity of your exercise primarily by
varying the speed of the walking belt, although they
also vary the incline; incline programs primarily vary
the incline, although they also vary the speed.
Each program is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One speed setting and one incline setting
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
Follow the steps below to use a speed program or an
incline program.

The Time/Distance display
will show the total number of
hours that the Incline Trainer
has been used.
An “E” for English miles or
an “M” for metric kilometers
will appear in the Speed/
Pace display. Press the
Speed + button to change
the unit of measurement.
IMPORTANT: The Fat Calories/Calories/Pulse dis-
play should be blank. If a “d” appears in the display,
the console is in the “demo” mode. This mode is in-
tended to be used only when an Incline Trainer 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 displays and in-
dicators on the console will automatically light in a pre-
set sequence; the buttons on the console cannot be op-
erated. If a “d” appears in the display when the infor-
mation mode is selected, press the Speed – button

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
Incline Trainer 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 Incline Trainer until your heart rate is near the
middle number in your training zone.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user’s move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse 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 Incline Trainer 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
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
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.
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 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-ex-
ercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
handgrip pulse sensor.
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-
