HEART RATE PROGRAM Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill’s incline system to control your heart rate via information from pulse grips or wireless chest strap. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed alone.

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.
