and slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Follow your progress with the three displays.
TIME/DISTANCE

and the distance that
you have walked or run
on the treadmill. Every
seven seconds, the display will change from one
number to the other. A colon (:) will appear when
the elapsed time is shown.

speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour.
CALORIES/FAT CAL-

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE TREADMILL
The incline of the treadmill can be changed by raising
or lowering the back end. Before changing the in-
cline, remove the key and unplug the power cord.
Hold the
rear roller
endcap
with both
hands.
When the
back end
of the
treadmill is
in the low-
est posi-
tion, the incline is about 10%. Raise the back end until it
clicks into position. (Note: It may be necessary to shake
the treadmill lightly so that it clicks into position.) The in-
cline will then be about 5%. Raise the back end again
until it clicks into position. The incline will then be about
3%. To lower the back end, raise it past the highest po-
sition and then lower it. CAUTION: Before exercising,
push on the back of the treadmill to make sure that
the incline legs are locked in position. Do not place
objects under the treadmill to change the incline;
change the incline only as described above.
