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  
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 treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training  
zone as you exercise.  
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  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system,  
your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise is  
activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for pro-  
longed 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 middle number in your training  
zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. RememberÑthese are general  
guidelines only. 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 de-  
sired 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, aerobic exercise,  
and high performance athletic conditioning.  
High Performance Athletic Conditioning  
If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning,  
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise  
program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your  
training zone as you exercise.  
Training Zone Chart  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
Maximum  
Minimum  
To measure your  
heart rate, stop  
exercising and  
place two fingers  
on your wrist as  
shown. Take a  
Training  
Zones  
six-second heart-  
beat count, and  
multiply the result  
by ten to find your  
heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your  
heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If  
your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed  
or incline of the treadmill accordingly.  
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, look above your age and  
find the box containing three numbers. The three num-  
bers are your Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number is the  
recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle  
number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic ex-  
ercise; the highest number is the recommended heart  
rate for high performance athletic conditioning.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three impor-  
tant parts:  
A Warm-up  
Fat Burning  
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
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

muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise  
problems.  
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-  
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20  
to 60 minutes. Note: During the first few weeks of your  
exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your  
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.  
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 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.  
A Cool-down  
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is described  
below. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.
