SETUP
Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the treadmill.

FOLDING, MOVING, AND POSITIONING THE TREADMILL
The treadmill can be folded easily using a “gas shock” mechanism. Folding the treadmill when it is not in use frees up floor space and makes it easy to move the unit.

• Folding the treadmill: When the treadmill is idle, set the incline grade to 0 percent, switch the unit off, and unplug it. Then, with both hands, lift the back end of the treadmill upward until it clicks and locks into place.
  • Caution : The treadmill must be set to 0% before folding. Damage may occur and the treadmill may not lock into a proper upright position.
• Moving and positioning the treadmill: Once the treadmill is folded and locked, simply roll it to the desired location. When positioning the treadmill for use, allow for a clearance area of six feet by four feet behind the treadmill to make it easy to get on and off the treadmill and to adjust the tension of the belt. See the section titled Specifications for the treadmill’s dimensions. Also, make sure to use the treadmill on a firm, level surface.
  • Note : Occasionally, after extended treadmill use, fine black dust may accumulate on the floor beneath the unit. This does not indicate that anything is wrong with the treadmill, and the dust can easily be removed with a vacuum cleaner. To prevent the dust from accumulating on the floor, place a mat beneath the unit.
• Unfolding the treadmill: Stand directly behind the treadmill. Support the treadmill base with the right hand, and pull and hold the release handle downward with the left hand. The handle is located on the end of the left main frame. Begin lowering the base a short distance. Let go of the release handle and, with both hands, guide the treadmill deck down to unfold it.

Caution : As the treadmill comes closer to the ground, it lowers at a faster rate and feels heavier.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
Consult the chart below for electrical requirements outside the U.S. and Canada. The plug must be inserted into an electrical outlet that has been properly installed and grounded by all local codes and ordinances.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded by all local codes and ordinances. Use only the power cord provided with this treadmill.

DANGER : A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to the proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

STARTING UP THE TREADMILL
The On/Off switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the front of the treadmill. To start up the treadmill, simply flip the switch to the On position (|). The treadmill will start up only when the safety key has been properly inserted into the key-holder on the console. For more information, see section 2.3, titled Emergency Stop System.

GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
With the treadmill belt idle, step on the side rails to straddle the belt. Set up a workout using the steps described in Section 3.2, titled Using the Workouts. When the belt is in motion, hold the handrails and carefully step onto the belt. Continue to use the handrails as necessary for stability. After completing a workout, wait until the belt is idle before stepping off.

CAUTION : Always face forward during a workout.

KEEPING THE TREADMILL DECK LUBRICATED
The treadmill deck has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it may require periodic lubrication throughout its usage life for optimal performance and reduced wear-and-tear on important components. With an average rate of use, which is approximately three weekly 30-minute workout sessions, the treadmill lubrication level should be checked every 9 – 12 months.

• To check the lubrication level: When the treadmill is idle, reach underneath the belt, palm-side-down, as far toward the center as possible. Then, place the hand on the deck. If it is moist then it does not require lubrication. If the deck is dry, it requires lubrication.
• To add lubricant: The Lube-N-Walk® Wax Kit is recommended for this treadmill. Follow the instructions included with the kit to add lubricant. Use of other lubrication kits may void the warranty. Contact the product service center for more information on the Lube-N-Walk Wax Kit. See Section 4.2 for contact information.

CENTERING THE TREADMILL BELT
With normal use, the treadmill belt may tend to run off-center. To test and adjust the belt, run the treadmill at 4 mph (6.5 kph) without a user on it. To perform any centering adjustment, use the Allen wrench that was shipped with the unit, and turn the left and right roller bolts, as described below. The roller bolts are located in the back of the frame side rail.

• If the belt runs too far to the left: Turn the left roller bolt one quarter-turn clockwise to tighten it. Then, turn the right roller bolt on quarter-turn counterclockwise to loosen it.
• If the belt runs too far to the right: Turn the right roller bolt one quarter-turn clockwise to tighten it. Then, turn the left roller bolt on a quarter-turn counterclockwise to loosen it.

After performing any adjustment, continue to run the belt without a user on it for three minutes to confirm that it is centered. Repeat adjustments as necessary.

CAUTION : Never turn the bolts more than one quarter-turn at any time. Also, over-tightening the belt can shorten the belt’s life considerably.

ADJUSTING THE TREADMILL BELT TENSION
As the belt stretches over time with normal use, the user may begin to feel the belt slipping across the rollers. The slipping sensation indicates that the belt requires tightening. When the belt is idle and not in use, turn each roller bolt one-quarter turn clockwise to tighten it. Make sure to turn each bolt an equal amount. Afterward, walk on the belt while it is in motion to test the adjustment. Repeat the tightening if necessary, but do not turn the bolts more than one quarter-turn at any time.

If this adjustment does not stop the belt from slipping, call Customer Service. See section 4.2, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

Press the SELECT MINUS key to scroll backward through workout options. For both workouts, the SPEED DATA window displays a default high speed of 6.0 mph (10 kmh). Use the SPEED keys to adjust this value. The maximum possible speed is 10 mph (16 kmh). The treadmill computer automatically selects the speed for the lower-speed intervals based on the high-speed intervals chosen. The workout-in-progress alternates between these intervals. The ELEVATION DATA window displays a default elevation of 0 percent, which is level. To change this value manually during the work-out-in-progress, press the ELEVATION ARROW keys. The range is 0 percent to 10 percent. This ELEVATION does not change auto-matically during either workout. To begin the workout, press START. After a displayed three-second countdown, the workout begins.

SELECTING AND USING A FAT BURNER, CROSS-COUNTRY, OR HILL CLIMB WORKOUT

• Press the SELECT key. Then, press the SELECT PLUS (+) key twice for FAT BURNER (displayed as “P3”), three times for CROSS-COUNTRY (displayed as “P4”), or four times for HILL CLIMB (displayed as “P5”).
• Press the SELECT MINUS (-) key to scroll backward through workout options. For all three workouts, the ELEVATION DATA window displays a default maximum elevation of eight percent.
• Use the ELEVATION keys to adjust this value. The range is 0 percent to 10 percent. The treadmill computer automatically selects the elevation for the lower elevation intervals based on the high elevation chosen. The workout-in-progress alternates between these intervals. The SPEED DATA window displays a default of 2 mph (3 kmh).

• For all three workouts, adjust the speed and elevation manually as desired during the workout-in-progress.
• To begin the workout, press START. After a displayed three-second countdown, the workout begins.

USING THE HEART RATE ZONE TO MAXIMIZE WORKOUT BENEFITS
Research shows that keeping the heart rate within a certain range while exercising promotes muscular and cardiovascular conditioning for maximum health benefits. This range is between 60 percent and 85 percent of a given user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The maximum rate varies by age. To calculate it, subtract the user’s age from the number 220.

For example, the theoretical maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old user would be 185 beats per minute (bpm) because 220-35=185. Therefore, the optimal heart rate range or zone for a 35-year-old user would be between 111 bpm (185 x .60) and 157 bpm (185 x .85).

NOTE : Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program. To monitor the heart rate during a workout, feel the pulse in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck while looking at a watch. Count the number of pulse beats within one minute.

ENDING A WORKOUT EARLY
To end a workout before the duration expires, press the STOP key once. The treadmill stops moving, and the DATA windows display the statistics for the completed workout. Press the STOP key again to set up a new workout.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS
Use a vacuum cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust from the treadmill periodically.

WARNING : Do not use any solvents on the deck or running belt, as these can reduce lubrication. Also, fold up the treadmill and vacuum the floor beneath and around it periodically to prolong the life of the unit.

WHEN AND HOW TO OBTAIN PRODUCT SERVICE

IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS
In the event of an electrical failure, the treadmill shuts down immediately.

Generally speaking, if the console’s displays or programs do not function properly, try switching it off and on. Doing so often clears problems by resetting the treadmill computer’s memory. If restarting the treadmill does not eliminate the problem, call Customer Support.

• No signal on the monitor LCD windows: It is often possible to correct this problem by restarting the treadmill. If not, check the communication cable between the monitor and motor controller, and make sure that the cable isn’t pinched or damaged.
• Displayed “ERROR 1-SPEED SENSOR ERROR”: This indicates that the computer is not picking up the motor speed signal. Note whether the belt moves at all when the START key is pressed. If so, note whether the motor stops at low speeds, such as 0.5 mph to 1 mph (1.0kmh to 1.5 kmh), or high speeds, such as 6 mph to 8 mph (10kmh to 12 kmh). These details are important in helping Customer Service diagnose and solve the problem.
• Displayed “ERROR 2-OVER SPEED ERROR”: This problem is a safety function referred to as “runaway protection”. When the belt speed exceeds the computer’s speed detection range, the treadmill motor shuts down, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays the Error 2 message. In this case, simply restart the treadmill. If the MESSAGE CENTER displays this message before the unit is ever used, or if the MESSAGE CENTER displays this message at speeds within the detection range, the mechanism is damaged.
• Displayed “ERROR 3-SAFETY KEY TETHER ERROR” : This indicates that the Emergency Stop Key is not correctly inserted into the keyholder. Make sure that the key is properly inserted.
• Displayed “ERROR 5-INCLINE ERROR”: This indicates that the incline motor, which creates workout elevations, is not functioning properly. It may be overloaded or over-heated. To test this, wait until the motor cools down, and try working out again. Other sources of the problem may be that the sensor connection cable is defective, the sensor itself may be damaged, or the incline motor itself is damaged.
• Displayed “ERROR 11-COMMUNICATION ERROR”: It is often possible to correct this problem by restarting the treadmill. If not, check the communication cable between the monitor and motor controller, and make sure that the cable isn’t pinched or damaged.
