FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features to make your workouts more effective.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a
touch of a button. As you exercise, you can watch your
progress on the LED track while the five displays
provide continuous exercise feedback.
The console also features nine preset workout programs:
six speed programs automatically control the speed of
the treadmill as they guide you through effective work-
outs; two heart rate programs automatically control the
speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart
rate near predetermined settings; and a unique fitness
test program measures the relative fitness level you
have achieved.
In addition, the console offers two custom workout
programs. Each custom program automatically controls
the speed and incline of the treadmill according to
settings that you program.
To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning
on page 12. To use a speed program, see page 14.
To use a heart rate program, see page 15. To use
the fitness test program, see page 16. To create a
custom program, see page 18. To use a custom
program, see page 19.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see SPEED DISPLAY on
page 13). For simplicity, all instructions in this manual
refer to miles.
CAUTION:Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power or starting the walking belt.
• Always wear the clip (see part “O” in the
drawing above) while operating the tread-
mill. If the key is pulled from the console, the
walking belt will stop.
• The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments.
• The chest pulse sensor and hand pulse
sensor are not medical devices. Various
factors, including the user's movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
The pulse sensors are intended only as
exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the FAT BURN or AEROBIC program.
If you are taking medication regularly, consult
your physician to find whether the medication
will affect your exercise heart rate.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the
console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the
console and use only a sealable water bottle.
