IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels. NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected.
IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any ● operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed ● on the computer console and release the adjustment key.
GETTING ON / OFF YOUR TREADMILL IMPORTANT The treadmill comes with Handles. Always hold the Handlebar when getting on and off the treadmill. First time users should familiarize themselves with using the treadmill by using the Handlebar first and then progressing to the Dual Action Handles. Once you have familiarized yourself with using the treadmill, you can progress to running without using the handles to provide a total body workout.
ASSEMBLY PACK CHECKLIST UNPACKING Cut the straps, then along the dotted line on the bottom of the box; lift the box over the unit and unpack. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the tools first. Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion.

STEP 1 Gather Hardware for Step 1. Thread the Computer Cable (No.53) up through the center of the Right Upright Column (No.9). Use four sets of Button Head Socket Bolt (No.150), Split Washer (No.133) against a Flat Washer (No.115) to secure the Upright Fixing Plate (No.10) to the Right Uprights (No.9) to the Main Frame (No.1) using the Allen Wrench (No.160).

STEP 2 Gather Hardware for Step 2. On the underside of the Console Support (No.5) is where the Locking Plate Assembly (No. 3 & 4) can be attached. Use 3 Socket Head Cap Bolts (No.152) and 3 Flat Washers (No.153) on each side to secure. Connect the Computer Cable (No.
Page 13
STEP 3 Gather Hardware For Step 3. Further secure the uprights by inserting a Button Head Socket Bolt (No.154) through a Split Washer (No.133), and a Curved Washer (No.155) onto the backside of both Left/Right Uprights (No. 8 & 9) using the Allen Wrench (No.160). Plug the Round Cap (No.29) into the Right Upright (No.9).

STEP 4 Gather Hardware for Step 4. Place the Console Assembly (No.38) onto the Console Support (No.5). Secure with 4 Socket Head Cap Bolts (No.156), 4 Split Washer (No.120), and 4 Flat Washers (No.153) using the Allen Wrench (No.159). Connect the Upper Handpulse Wires (No.50 & 51) and Upper Computer Cable (No.52) to Console Assembly (No.38).

SAFETY TETHER CORD A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt. Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement.

CONSOLE OPERATION QUICK START • Press and release any button to wake display up if not already on. • Press and release the Start button to begin belt movement at 0.3mph/ 0.5 kph, then adjust to the desired speed using the Up/Down Speed buttons. You may also use the Direct Access Speed Buttons 1 through 15 to set to a specific speed directly.
0.4 KM (1/4 MILE) TRACK The 1/4-mile track (0.4 km) and lap counter are located to the left of the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indicates your progress. In the center of the track there is a lap counter for reference. HEART RATE FEATURE The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout.

PRESET PROGRAMS SPEED/INCLINE SETTINGS The preset program Speed and Incline levels are shown in the chart below. The Speed numbers shown in the chart indicate a percentage of the top speed of the program. For instance, the first Speed setting for P1 (Program 1, HILL) shows the number 20. This means that this segment of the program will have a speed that is 20% of the top speed for the program (The user sets the top speed in the procedure above).
Page 20
Interval This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen.
CUSTOM PROGRAM Select the Custom program using the Program button then press Enter. Note that the Dot Matrix Message Center will light a single row of dots at the bottom (Unless there is a previously saved program). The clock (Time) window will be flashing. Use the Up/Down buttons to set the program for the desired time.

GERKIN TEST The Gerkin protocol, also known as the fireman’s protocol, is a sub-max Vo2 (volume of oxygen) test. The test will increase speed and elevation alternately until you reach 85% of your Max heart rate. The time it takes for you to reach 85% determines the test score (VO2max) as shown in the chart below. Stage Time Speed...

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 choice of exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
HEART RATE CONTROL Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill’s incline system to control your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed alone. The HRC program automatically changes elevation gradually to achieve the programmed target heart rate. Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program: You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the Cardiovascular (HR-2) program.
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 A HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE OF RUNNING BELT/DECK: Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient and proprietary belt/deck combination. 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.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT: The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be necessary. The treadmill is designed to keep the tread-belt reasonably centered while in use.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. After each workout, wipe down all areas exposed to sweat with a damp cloth. 2. Ensure all bolts are properly tightened after assembly and before each use. 3. Ensure that the unit is properly leveled after assembly and before each use. Use leveling pads on the bottom of the feet to adjust height.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before contacting your dealer for aid, please review the following information. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common problems that may not be covered under the treadmill’s warranty. PROBLEM SOLUTION/CAUSE Display does not light 1) Tether cord not in position.
