OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.

Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 installed by a qualified electrician.

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). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-800-806- 3651 and order part number 146148.

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. 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 damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric 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.

The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 above. 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.

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 electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive selection of features to help you get the most from your exercise. When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.

Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The included hand weights can be used to add upper-body exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

In addition, the console offers a fitness test program that measures your relative fitness level and a pulsedriven program that automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness test program and the pulse-driven program require the use of an optional chest pulse sensor.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology. iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available separately). iFIT.com CD 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. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. Additional options are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

Before operating the console, read the following precautions.

• Do not stand on the walking belt when turning on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing below) while operating the treadmill.
• Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors 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.
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the pulse-driven program. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise hart rate.
• Using hand weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Hand weights should be used only by experienced users.
• To reduce the possibility of electric shock, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and place only a sealed water bottle in the water bottle holder.

4. Enter your age.
   When the fitness test program is selected, an age setting will flash in the Incline display and the letters "AGE" will appear in the Time display. You must enter your age to use the fitness test program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Enter Age buttons to enter your age. Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the age setting will disappear from the display. Your age will then be saved in memory.
   
5. Press the Start Program button or the Speed + button to start the program.
   When the button is pressed, the Distance/ Laps display will show an "L 1" (level 1), indicating that the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test program has begun. The incline of the treadmill will automatically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
   

The fitness test program consists of seven 4- minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down segment. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each segment. The speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the remaining seven segments will be shown in the seven columns to the right.

When the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test program is completed, all speed settings will move one column to the left and the Distance/Laps display will show an "L 2," indicating that the second 4-minute segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5 mph. When the second 4-minute segment is completed, the speed settings will again move one column to the left and the Distance/Laps display will show an "L 3." The incline will remain the same, but the speed will then increase to 3.3 mph. At the beginning of each 4-minute segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase. The fitness test program will continue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the current 4-minute segment is completed. The fitness test program will then be completed, regardless of how many segments remain.

When the fitness test program is completed, the letter "C" will appear in the Distance/Laps display, indicating that the 2-minute cool-down segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to 1% and the speed will decrease to 1.2 mph.

When the cool-down segment is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. After the fitness test program is completed, your fitness level will be shown in the Time display. There are ten fitness levels— fitness level 10 (FL:10) is the highest. Remember, the fitness program is intended only to indicate your relative fitness level.

Note: The Speed and Incline buttons will not function while the fitness test program is selected. If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters "PLS" will flash in the Heart Rate/Calories display. If your pulse is not detected during the last thirty seconds of any 4-minute segment (after 4 minutes, after 8 minutes, etc.), the fitness test program will end and the Time display will show a fitness level of 0 (FL: 0).

The fitness test program cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. However, the program can be stopped at any time by pressing the Stop button. The Time display will then show an estimated fitness level.

HOW TO USE THE PULSE-DRIVEN PROGRAM

The pulse-driven program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use the pulse-driven program (see THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE).

If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the pulse-driven program. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use the pulse-driven program.

1. Put on the chest pulse sensor.
   Refer to the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor to put on the chest pulse sensor.
2. Insert the key fully into the console.
   See GETTING STARTED.
3. Select the pulse-driven program.
   When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the Manual indicator will light. To select the pulse-driven program, press the Select Program button repeatedly until the Pulse Driven indicator lights. When the pulse-driven program is selected, the program display will show a simplified profile of the program.
   
4. Enter your age.
   When the pulse-driven program is selected, an age setting will flash in the Incline display and the letters "AGE" will appear in the Time display. You must enter your age to use the pulse-driven program. If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Enter Age buttons to enter your age. Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the age setting will disappear from the display. Your age will then be saved in memory.
   
5. Press the Start Program button or the Speed + button to start the program.
   A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
   Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. The Time display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. The heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the program display. The heart rate settings for the next twelve segments will be shown in the twelve columns to the right.
   When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column. As you exercise, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change as needed to keep your heart rate near the current target heart rate setting.
   The program will continue until no time remains in the Time display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
   If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if you decrease the speed, the incline will automatically increase; if you increase the speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current segment. Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further.
   When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further. If your heart rate is not detected during the program, the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your heart rate is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
   To stop the program, press the Stop button. The pulse-driven program should not be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use the pulse-driven program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.
   
6. Follow your progress with the displays.
   See step 5 in HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE section.
7. When the program has ended, remove the key.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember—these are general guidelines only. For more detailed exercise information, 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 recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

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 "training zone." The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill.

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 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, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.
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.

Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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.

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 increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation 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.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, 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.

SUGGESTED STRECTHES

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 toward 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 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.

19. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing from the BEFORE YOU BEGIN section for the location of the on/off switch.)
20. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See ASSEMBLY, and HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE DEVICE) You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

23. 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 incline changes. In some instances, the speed and/or incline may change before the personal trainer describes the change.
24. 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.
