Tip indicates a useful suggestion when installing, maintaining or using your treadmill. Your PaceMaster treadmill is capable of varying your workout by changing speed, incline and time. It can also measure the effect of your workout in a number of different ways. For example “Aerobic Points” (see page 25) is a well tested method to set workout goals based on a desired level of overall fitness.
Aerobics, Inc. • Never operate your PaceMaster treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not operating properly, if it has been dropped or damaged or if it has been immersed in water. Should any of these occur, contact your authorized PaceMaster retailer or service center for examination or repair.
Before assembling your treadmill, open the hardware package and verify that the contents of the package match the hardware legend included in the hardware package. If any parts are missing, contact the authorized PaceMaster retailer where you purchased your PaceMaster treadmill.
You must have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any wall or obstruction. TIP: If you are installing your PaceMaster on a carpeted surface, use a treadmill mat or a scrap piece of carpet underneath the treadmill to avoid soiling of the carpet.

Note: The cup holder should sit flush to the control panel when it is snapped in place. If not, remove cup holder and rotate 180 degrees, then reinstall.
Testing Your Treadmill Your PaceMaster has been adjusted and tested at the factory. However, due to changes that can occur during shipment, it should be tested prior to use. Once you have assembled your treadmill and it is located where it will be used, proceed as follows. (Do not make any adjustments unless necessary.) For the purpose of this test, DO NOT stand on the tread belt.
Although your PaceMaster has many advanced features to provide versatility in meeting exercise needs, basic operation is extremely easy. Basic operation involves setting your TIME and SPEED goals, then pressing the START button. Your PaceMaster will gradually accelerate to the set speed, maintain that speed until the timer counts to zero and then gradually come to a complete stop. During your exercise, your time remaining, current speed, distance traveled, calories burned and Aerobic Points earned are displayed.

The treadmill stops but retains the distance, calories and Aerobic Points accumulated thus far, as well as the speed setting and remaining time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Initially, you may want to keep both hands on the side rails until you feel comfortable walking on your PaceMaster. Once you feel comfortable, try removing your hands to let them swing naturally, as you would when walking outdoors. Always hold on to the side rail or front handle bar with one hand when operating the buttons of the control panel.
The treadmill will display the total time, calories, Aerobic Points and distance. If a problem should occur, your PaceMaster can be stopped quickly by pulling on the magnetic safety cord to dislodge the key from the control panel. The treadmill will stop a bit more abruptly, but still gently enough to prevent you from being injured. This is an emergency...

This formula is built into the PaceMaster computer to automatically calculate the number of AEROBIC POINTS you earn for each workout Dr. Cooper states in his book, The Aerobics Program For Total Well Being; “The main idea of this system is that, in order to stay in good shape and move toward a goal of total well-being, a person must earn a certain number of points each week by doing a certain amount of aerobic exercise.”...

EXCLUSIVE PACEMASTER FEATURES (cont’d) Step Three: You will see the number 150 in the INCLINE display window and the SET WEIGHT indicator light will be blinking. Set your weight using the incline buttons. The default weight set at the factory is 150 lbs.
Deck and Tread Belt Cleaning The running belt on your PaceMaster rides on a low friction deck. Proper operation will be jeopardized if any water, dirt, solvents, fluids or abrasive materials come between the tread belt and the deck. For this reason, extra care must be used in keeping the belt clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt and other substances from the area between the belt and the side of the machine.
Care and Maintenance (cont’d) CUP HOLDER Installation: Simply place cup holder with the black foam pad into the hole in the control panel. Press down until you hear the cup firmly snap into place. Note: The cup holder should sit flush to the control panel when it is snapped in place.
Electronic Error Codes Your self-diagnostic PaceMaster treadmill has built in sensors that will determine the precise reason for a problem. If the onboard computer detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. If an error code appears during operation of your treadmill, do the following: •...
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning, maintenance, or service. Error Code 133 or 134 This is a communication error that could be a result of the black wire harness not being plugged in all the way. Unplug the treadmill from the wall outlet and reconnect the black wire harness that you plugged in during Step Two of assembly, see page 6.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) Noises A Clicking, Rubbing or Grinding noise is present while the tread belt is moving. Remove all items from the cup holders on either side of the display Visually confirm that NO foreign objects (children’s toys, pet’s toys, etc…) are underneath, on top of, or against the treadmill. With the tread belt stopped visually check to see if the tread belt is reasonable centered, if it is not please refer to “centering the tread belt”...
2 through 5. If you tighten the drive belt adjustment screw 1 1/2 turns and there is still hesitation (slippage) contact your authorized PaceMaster dealer. Tightening the drive belt adjustment screw more than 1 1/2 turns can result in bearing damage to the motor and/or drive roller.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Why is time displayed as a negative number (i.e. 1:15)? – A. The treadmill’s computer displays time in minutes and seconds (MM:SS) for workout times less than 1 Hour, and in hours and minutes ( H:MM) for workout times 1 hour or greater. 1:15 represents one hour and 15 minutes.
