HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHIONS
The treadmill features a cushioning system that
reduces the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill.
To adjust the cushions, first remove the key from the
console and unplug the power cord. You may also
need to place the treadmill in the storage position (see
HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL on page 30).
For a more firm walking platform, turn a cushion to
the position shown in drawing 1; for a less firm walk-
ing platform, turn the cushion to the position shown in
drawing 2. Adjust the other cushions in the same way.
Note: Make sure that the cushions on the left and
right sides of the treadmill are set to the same firm-
ness level. The faster you run on the treadmill, or
the more you weigh, the firmer the walking plat-
form should be.

More firm

Less firm
THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE MONITOR
Whether your
goal is to
burn fat or to
strengthen your
cardiovascular
system, the key
to achieving the
best results is
to maintain the
proper heart
rate during your
workouts. A wearable heart rate monitor will enable you
to continuously monitor your heart rate while you exer-
cise, helping you to reach your personal fitness goals.
To purchase a wearable heart rate monitor, please
see the front cover of this manual.
Note: The console is compatible with all Bluetooth
Smart heart rate monitors.
To connect a wearable heart rate monitor to the
console, first put it on as directed in its included
instructions. Then, begin a workout or start the walking
belt in the manual mode. The console will search for
the wearable heart rate monitor for 30 seconds and
connect automatically.
