treadmill operations

Intelli-Guard - The TR2000 is equipped with the Intelli-Guard safety feature. This feature senses
when you stop walking on the treadmill and for safety purposes it automatically pauses the treadmill
to avoid accidental falls and resulting injury. The Intelli-Guard feature is triggered when the treadmill
senses that you are no longer walking or running on the treadmill. When this occurs the treadmill
will wait for 20 seconds with this status. Before starting your treadmill the following actions will
need to be properly completed:
Caution:
At 20 seconds the console will beep once per second for 5 seconds and then automatically pause the
treadmill. These beeps are a notice that the treadmill belt is about to stop. If for some reason you are
still on the treadmill when this occurs move your feet to the side rails and prepare for the belt to stop.
The Intelli-Guard feature does not replace the use of your safety key or using proper precaution in
stopping the treadmill when it is not in use.
Intelli-Step – The TR2000 comes with the Intelli-Step counting feature. This feature senses the
resistance on the running belt each time your foot strikes. There are several factors that will effect
the accuracy of this feature including your walking style, your weight, and your usage characteristics.
For example, the Intelli-Step feature will have a more difficult time picking up the steps of a light
user and especially a light user walking at an incline. The higher the incline the more difficult it is
for the feature to recognize walking steps. This may also be the case at lower speeds. In summary,
the Intelli-Step is a great feature for users interested in maintaining a step count walking or running
program, but it is dependant on many variables for accuracy and the accuracy of the count will
depend on your individual characteristics as well as variables related to the treadmills usage.
1. Be certain that your treadmill is sitting level and stable. There are adjustment feet at the front
corners of the base frame to help level the treadmill. If the treadmill is not level the running
belt will move toward the lowest side of the treadmill. 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 located on the front right side base frame to the On position.
4. Insert the magnetic safety key into the round area centered at the bottom of your display. If
the safety key is not inserted properly the screen will say "Safety Key".
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 start button.
This will cause the display to count down for 3 seconds and then begin in the "Manual
Program" at 0.5 mph.
3. Speed - To increase the speed push the Speed (up) button. Each time you press the Speed (up)
button the speed will increase by 0.1 mph. There are 4 quick speed keys on the display which
can be pushed at any time during a workout. The quick speed keys are labeled 3, 4, 5 and 6.
This means if you press 3 the treadmill will speed up to 3 mph.
