Treadmill Operations - LifeSpan PRO Series Owner's Manual

treadmill operations

Before starting your treadmill the following actions will need to be properly completed:
1. Be certain that your treadmill sits stable on the floor. It is also recommended that you locate your
treadmill in a pleasant area that gives you something to look at while working out, such as a window
or television. Maintaining an exercise program with a treadmill located in a poorly lit basement room
is more difficult than when your treadmill is located in an active and pleasant location.
2. Make sure that your treadmill is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as described in the grounding
section of this document.
3. Turn the On/Off switch, which is located in the front of your treadmill, to the "On" position.
4. Insert the magnetic safety key in the round area centered at the bottom of your display. If the safety key
is not inserted properly you will see lines across the middle of each LED display.
QuickStart
1. Attach the "Safety Key" to your clothing. This key will immediately shut off your treadmill if removed and
is strongly recommended for your safety.
2. QuickStart - The quickest and easiest way to start your treadmill is to push the QuickStart button. This
will cause the display to count down for 3 seconds and then begin in the "Manual Program" at .5 Miles
Per Hour.
3. Speed Adjustment – can be increased and decreased in 3 different ways:
• Display Console – Each time you depress the "Fast" button on the display console the
speed will increase by .1 Miles Per Hour.
• Handlebar Speed Control – the heart rate sensor on the right side of the handlebars includes a
speed control switch. Pushing the switch on the right side increases the speed by .1 MPH and
pushing the switch on the left side decreases the speed by .1 MPH.
• Quick Buttons – the display console includes buttons that immediately set the speed to 3, 4, 5, and
6 MPH without having to scroll through the speeds.
4. Incline – like the speed settings, incline can be adjusted 3 different ways:
• Display Console – Each time you depress the "Up" or "Down" button on the display
console the incline will increase or decrease by 1%.
• Handlebar Incline Control – the heart rate sensor on the left side of the handlebars includes an
incline control switch. Pushing the switch on the left side increases the incline by 1% and pushing
the button on the right side decreases the incline by 1%.
• Quick Buttons – the display console includes buttons that immediately set the incline to 4, 6, 8,
and 10% without having to scroll through the incline levels.
5. Display Readouts - the console has a backlit blue LCD panel that shows the program profile in 30 workout
segments. It also includes 3 separate LED panels that show Incline and Speed at all times on the 2 outside
displays and Time, Distance, Calories, Pulse, and Lap count. This center panel includes a scan function.
Use the mode button to scroll through each function until the Scan light is lit and each function will
readout for 5 seconds and then continually scroll through all readouts.

Programs Setup and Selection – P1 - P12
The Pro 3 comes with the LifeSpan Intelli-Key™ button system that simply and easily steps
you through the program setup process.
1. Select Program: When you put the safety key in place the "up" and "down" speed arrows flash.
This shows you that these buttons need to be pressed to scroll through the various program
options. While scrolling through the Program options the program profile will appear in the center
LCD screen, the Program number will appear in the right LED panel, the Program Level 1 will
appear in the left panel and the default time will be in the middle panel. Use the arrows to scroll
to the program you would like to use and then press the "Enter" button.
2. Select Level: Chose the workout level by using the "up" and "down" incline buttons and then press
"Enter". The Intelli-Key system will once again make the buttons that you need to press flash.
3. Set Time: Now chose how long you want to work out by pressing on either set of "up" and "down"
arrows. Once complete press the "Start" button. All programs will default to 30 minutes if no
adjustments are made.
Note: Programs P11(3M) and P12 (6M) are based on distance and not time. After selecting the
Level, press Start to begin the workout.
User Setup Programs
1. Select Program: Press the "up" and "down" speed arrows to scroll to the User 1 or User
2 programs and press "Enter".
2. Set Time: Now chose how long you want to workout by pressing on either set of "up" and "down"
arrows. Once complete press the "Start" button. All programs will default to 30 minutes if no
adjustments are made.
3. Enter Segment Speed and Incline: Each program is divided into 30 equal segments. Each
segment gives you the flexibility to set "incline" level and "speed" for that segment. The "incline"
level is shown in the left display, the "speed" is shown in the "right" display and the segment
number is shown in the center display. Use the "up" and "down" speed and incline buttons to
set the speed and incline for each setting and press enter.
Note: You will want to know your settings prior to starting the setup process as the system will
reset to the "Start up" menu if no button activity occurs for several seconds.
4. Press Start: After each segment is set, press the "Start" button to begin the workout.
Note: You can edit the user programs by going through the same process and adjusting each segment
if required.
