How to Use the M9.5sp Treadmill
Before using the M9.5sp treadmill, we recommend that you follow these
instructions and go through a preliminary demonstration of the treadmill. Then,
you will be familiar with the treadmill when you begin your workout.
When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:
• At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate
into your training zone, which is shown in Diagram 2 later in this manual.
• After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body
and lower your pulse rate.
• Gently stretch your lower body and back after a workout to help prevent
stiffness or soreness.
The M9.5sp treadmill has a series of standard startup prompts that you must
answer before each workout. For example, these startup prompts let you
specify whether you want to use the 440-yard (400 meter) track or one of the
programmed courses. Many of the answers to the startup prompts can be
preset which lets you quickly begin your workout. Instructions for pre-setting
the answers to the standard prompts are provided in
Configuring the M9.5sp

.
To use the treadmill, take the following steps. While following these steps, you
can press the HELP key at anytime and an explanation of your selection will
scroll across the top of the display. We recommend that you start at a gentle
pace before attempting the more advanced courses and higher speeds.
Note: A few steps show the word (Preconfigured) prior to the step’s instruc-
tions. This means that a particular mode has been previously set. The prompt
in these steps will not appear on the electronic console display unless you
change the configuration. Skip these preconfigured steps unless the prompt
appears.
1. Locate the ON/OFF switch at the front of the black hood and turn ON the
treadmill. The electronic console display shows “Press Enter to Begin.”
2. Straddle the running belt with your feet firmly planted on the right and left
staging platforms. (Stand close enough to the electronic console so you
can extend your arms and touch the keys.)
3. Press ENTER to begin setting up the treadmill for your workout session.
4. At the “Weight?” prompt, specify your weight using the black and
arrows. Press ENTER when your weight is displayed.
This information allows the M9.5sp treadmill to accurately calculate how
many calories you burn during your workout. The display always automati-
cally shows the last weight entered, so you will not have to re-enter your
weight next time unless someone else has used the treadmill.
