SSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not

dispose of the packing materials untilassembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrenc_

and your own phillips screwdriver (_3 =====_•

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal

condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off

the tubdcant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive c_eaner.

,With the help of a second person, carefully raise the

treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side

and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (103) into

the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension

Leg is turned so the Base Pad (97) ison the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the

other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower

the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs

(103) are resting flat on the floor.

on page 15. Follow the instructions in step 2 to lower the

treadmill.

Hold the latch spacer and the latch support together as

shown. Attach the latch spacer and the latch support to

the center hole in the left Updght (82) with a 3/4" Screw

(89). Make sure that the Screw is tight, but do not over-

tighten it; if the Screw is overtightened, the latch will

not slide smoothly.

Remove the tape from the Latch Assembly (77), Be care-

ful to hold the parts together. Inset drawing A shows

how the Latch Assembly fits together. Inset drawing B

shows how the springs fit into the bracket. Make sure that

the tabs on the latch are touching the bracket and that

the back end of the latch is flush with the bracket.

Attach the Latch Assembly (77) to the left Upright (82)

with two 3/4" Screws (89).

3. Slide the upper end of a Handrail (85) into the right

Upright (82) as shown. Note: It will be necessary to

pivot the Handrail to the side and back repeatedly

(see arrow A) while pushing on the Handrail (see

arrow B) to slide it fully into the Upright. Next, pivot

the lower end of the Handrail down, push it toward the

right Upright, and then align it with the indicated hole.

Slide the other Handrail (85) into the left Upright (82) as

described above.

(101) as shown.

Next, tighten a Handrail Bolt (78) with a Handrail Washer

(96) into each Extension Leg (103) and Handrail (85) as

shown. Note: It may be necessary to move the Handrails

up or down to align the Handrails with the holes in the

from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

OPERATION-AND ADJUSTMENT --

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features awalking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE_, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home's power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing I at

the right).

Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores

and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge

suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage

surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must

have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or

less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides apath of least

resistance for electriccurrent to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available.

Adapter Surge Suppressor

Metal Screw

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

Note: Ifthere is a thin sheet of clear plastic

on the face of the console, remove it.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console oliers an impressive array of fea-

tures designed to help you get the most from your exer-

cise program. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be

changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, four

displays will provide continuous exercise :feedback. You

can even measure you heart rate using the built-in

pulse sensor.

The console also features revolutionary i-Fit.corn inter-

active technology. This breakthrough technology is like

having a personal trainer right in your home. Using the

included audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to

your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer, and

play special i-Fit.corn CD's (not included). These CD's

interactively control the speed and incline of the tread-

mill while a personal trainer coaches you through each

step of your workout. High-energy music provides added

motivation. Each CD features two different 30-minute

workout programs designed by certified personal

trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR

and TV and play i-Fit.com videocassettes (not in-

cluded). These unique videos offer the same benefits

as i-Fit.corn CD's, but add the excitement and motiva-

tion of working out with a group and an instructor--the

hottest new trend at health clubs.

By plugging an optional upgrade module into the con-

sole, you can add virtually endless options to your

treadmill. The upgrade module enables you to connect

the treadmill to your home computer and log on to

www.i-fit.com, our powerful intemet site to be launched

October 1, 1999. By accessing www.i-fit.com, you can

download a large selection of workout programs that

match your specific exercise goals; access CD and

video workouts via the internet; participate in live web-

cast workouts; and watch exercise demonstrations via

web video conferences. You can even chat live with

your personal trainer and get individual fitness instruc-

tion.

To purchase i-Fit.corn CD's or videocassettes, or

to purchase the optional upgrade module, visit

your local department store or sporting goods

store or go to www.i-fit,com.
