HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before turning on the power. If you do not
do this, you may damage the console displays or
other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see
page 13). Next, locate the
power switch on the treadmill
frame near the power cord.
Press the power switch into
the reset position.
IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo
mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis-
played in a store. If the displays light as soon as
you plug in the power cord and press the power
switch into the reset position, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down
the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays
remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page
18 to turn off the demo mode.
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 14)
and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.
Then, insert the key into the console. After a moment,
the displays will light. IMPORTANT: In an emergency
situation, the key can be pulled from the console,
causing the walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the
clip by carefully taking a few steps backward; if the
key is not pulled from the console, adjust the posi-
tion of the clip.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.
2. Select the manual mode.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be
selected. If a preset workout has been selected,
remove the key and then reinsert it.
3. Start the walking belt.
To start the walking belt, press the Start button, the
Speed increase button, or one of the speed buttons
numbered 1 through 10.
If you press the Start button or the Speed increase
button, the walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph.
As you exercise, change the speed of the walking
belt as desired by pressing the Speed increase and
decrease buttons. Each time you press a button,
the speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if you
hold down a button, the speed setting will change
in increments of 0.5 mph. Note: After you press a
button, it may take a moment for the walking belt to
reach the selected speed setting.
If you press one of the numbered speed buttons,
the walking belt will gradually change speed until it
reaches the selected speed setting.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart
the walking belt, press the Start button or the Speed
increase button.
4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline
of the treadmill, press
the Incline increase
or decrease buttons.
Each time you press
the Incline increase or
decrease button, the incline will change by 0.5%.
Note: After you press a button, it may take a mo-
ment for the treadmill to reach the selected incline
setting.
