Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again. There is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES The treadmill offers seven factory preset-programs and one Manual program. Each preset program has a maximum Speed and Incline level that is displayed when a desired workout is chosen. The maximum Speed and Incline that the particular program will achieve will be displayed in the Message Center.
PRESET PROGRAMS The treadmill has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill Resistance: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
Page 18
Strength Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of speed up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length.
HEART RATE PROGRAMS The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 20
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(Optional) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way. To start an HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE BELT/DECK Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel, wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge.
Page 24
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
Page 25
BELT/DECK LUBRICATION PROCEDURE Do not lubricate with other than approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from your authorized dealer. There are commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved is Lube-N-Walk.
