Quick Start
QUICK START – The TC5000 has a Quick Start function for your TreadClimber
®
machine or treadmill
workouts that will bypass having to verify your weight and Workout Level Settings. Make sure you lock
the treadles following the Locking the Treadles instructions on Page 43 before starting a treadmill
workout.
NOTE:
Quick Start always reverts to the last workout mode used. If you are not going to use
TreadClimber
®
machine in the same mode as your last usage, you cannot use the Quick
Start function.
1. Push and hold the START/STOP button for two seconds—this will revert weight and Workout
Level to the last numbers saved. (Note: The console will NOT power up if the Safety Key is not
properly inserted into the Safety Keyhole.)
2. Press the FASTER button to start the belts at 0.7 MPH (1.1 KPH), or start stepping for a stair-
stepper workout.
3. Once the belts have started, you may step onto the treadles at any time.
4. Press FASTER again to increase belt speed (for treadmill and
TreadClimber
®
modes).
