CADENCE DETECTION
When KICKR RUN does not detect running cadence it will bring the belt speed to a complete stop.

RUNNER DETECTION - TIME OF FLIGHT SENSOR
KICKR RUN uses the Time of Flight Sensor (4) to detect if a person is on the running surface. If there is no person detected, then the KICKR RUN controls are disabled. If the KICKR RUN is in use and a person is no longer detected then the KICKR RUN will come to a complete stop.
Note: blocking the time of flight sensor, located in the center of the console, will disable RunFree mode and bring the KICKR RUN to a full stop.

SPEED PADDLE
The Speed Paddle (5) [right] has 3 levels of control.

• Push and release the right paddle forward toward the front of the KICKR RUN to the first stop for a smaller increase in pace.
• Push and release the right paddle forward to the second stop for a larger increase in pace.
• Push and release the right paddle forward to the second stop and hold to fine tune the 1 second pace.
• Pull and release the right paddle backward toward the rear of the KICKR RUN to the first stop for a smaller decrease in pace
• Pull and release the right paddle backward to the second stop for a larger decrease in pace
• Pull and release the right paddle backward to the second stop and hold to fine tune the 1 second pace.

• Always use caution to not accidentally bump the paddles while running.

GRADE PADDLE
The Grade Paddle (6) [left] has 2 levels of control. Grade range is -3% to +15%.

• Pull the left paddle backward toward the rear of the KICKR RUN to the first stop for a 0.5% increase in grade.
• Pull the left paddle backward toward the rear of the KICKR RUN to the second stop for a 2.0% increase in grade.
• Push the left paddle forward toward the front of the KICKR RUN to the first stop for a 0.5% decrease in grade.

  Note: If the KICKR RUN is connected to an application then you may see the gradient automatically controlled by that application.

• Always use caution to not accidentally bump the paddles while running.

STOP BUTTON
The Stop Button (7) will bring will bring the KICKR RUN to a complete stop over several seconds. Use this button when you are ready to stop using the treadmill or want to come to a complete stop while running on the treadmill.

RUNFREE MODE AND BUTTON
RunFree is an innovative technology that allows you to run hands free on a treadmill like you do outdoors creating a fun, immersive indoor running experience. RunFree Mode can be activated by enabling the RunFree Mode Button (8) on the console.
Notice: In RunFree Mode, when you speed up, you move closer to the Time of Flight sensor (4) which automatically increases the speed of the belt to correspond with your pace. The opposite occurs when you slow down. As you move farther away from the Time of Flight sensor, the KICKR RUN responds by slowing the belt.

RunFree Mode offers a unique experience by allowing you to control the speed of the treadmill just by changing your pace. This may take some mental adjustment to "relearn" how to run on a treadmill in RunFree Mode.

Use caution when running on KICKR RUN in RunFree Mode as the speed will automatically adjust to your changes in pace.

Learning to use RunFree Mode.
We recommend getting comfortable with the KICKR RUN by manually controlling the speed before using RunFree Mode.
Note: RunFree Mode will not be enabled until you are running faster than a 20:00 min/mi pace.

1. Start by manually setting the pace to a slow/comfortable running pace.
2. Press the RunFree Mode button and maintain your current pace. (Look for the RunFree icon illuminated on the console).
3. Notice the slight fluctuations in pace as you naturally run. Run at this pace for one minute.
4. Try slowing your pace by 1:00 min/mi for 30 seconds.
5. Decrease your pace again by another 1:00 min/mile for 30 seconds.
6. Increase your pace back to your starting pace and maintain for 1 minute.
7. Increase your pace by 1:00 min/mi for another minute.
   
8. When you are ready to stop, you can press the stop button or slowly bring yourself to a walk and then a stop.

KICKR RUN uses WiFi and Bluetooth connections. We recommend connecting your KICKR RUN to your home Wi-Fi.
Note: KICKR RUN supports 2.4 Ghz frequency Wi-Fi on channels 1-13

AUTOMATIC TILT AND GRADE CONTROL
Many applications that connect to KICKR RUN will control the grade and side-toside tilt as you run to create a more immersive experience. To unlock the grade and side-to-side tilt features on your KICKR RUN, you will be directed to and must watch instructional videos in the Wahoo app.

• Use caution while operating the KICKR RUN in this mode, and prepare for sudden movements as the treadmill adjusts to workout inputs.
• Ensure that no items can roll under the KICKR RUN or get caught underneath the belt while the KICKR RUN is in operation.
• Consult your app directions for how to turn off tilt and grade adjustments for your workout if you are uncomfortable using these features.

APP INTERACTION BUTTONS
The three App Interaction Buttons (9) sit on top of the console and provide a customized way for you to interact with the app that you connect to the KICKR RUN. You can customize the function of the buttons depending on the functionality in the app.

AUTOMATIC LEVELING
When you first power on the KICKR RUN, it will automatically adjust the linear actuators to level the surface of KICKR RUN horizontally. This helps with uneven surfaces and to prevent the KICKR RUN from shifting while in use.

TERRAIN MODE
KICKR RUN has another unique feature that leverages the two linear actuators and provides a lateral tilting capability. When Terrain Mode is enabled, KICKR RUN will automatically adjust the side-to-side camber offering variability in the running surface. This is similar to what you would experience outdoors.
Note: This is controlled through a setting in the connected app you may be using.
