BEFORE YOU BEGIN Thank you for selecting the revolutionary NordicTrack APEX 6500 treadmill. The APEX 6500 treadmill offers a selection of features designed to make your work- outs at home more enjoyable and effective. And when you’re not exercising, the unique APEX 6500 treadmill can be folded up, requiring less than half the floor space of other treadmills.
This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill 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.

If you purchase the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23), follow the steps below to install the re- ceiver included with the chest pulse sensor. 1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged. Remove the indicated Screws (7) from the back of the Console Base (98).
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, accelerate, or stop unexpect- edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
In addition, the console features ten Cardio programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and in- cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec- tive workout. The console also offers two Pulse pro- grams that control the speed and incline of the treadmill to help you keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings.
