FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features to make your workouts more effective.

When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, you can watch your
progress on the LED track while the four displays
provide continuous exercise feedback.

The console also features seven preset workout
programs: four speed programs automatically control
the speed of the treadmill as they guide you through
effective workouts; two heart rate programs automati-
cally control the speed and incline of the treadmill to
keep your heart rate near predetermined settings; and
a unique fitness test program measures the relative
fitness level you have achieved.

In addition, the console offers two custom workout
programs. Each custom program automatically controls
the speed and incline of the treadmill according to
settings that you program.

To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning
on page 12. To use a speed program, see page 14.
To use a heart rate program, see page 15. To use
the fitness test program, see page 16. To create a
custom program, see page 18. To use a custom
program, see page 19.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see SPEED/INCLINE
DISPLAY on page 13). For simplicity, all instructions in
this manual refer to miles.

CAUTION:

Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

ing on the power or starting the walking belt.

¥ Always wear the clip (see part ÒNÓ in the

drawing above) while operating the tread-
mill. If the key is pulled from the console,
the walking belt will stop.

¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments.

¥ The chest pulse sensor is not a medical

device. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended
only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.

¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are over

60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the FAT BURN or AEROBIC program.
If you are taking medication regularly, consult
your physician to find whether the medication
will affect your exercise heart rate.

¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the

console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the
console and use only a sealable water bottle.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic
on the face of the console, remove it.
