Reset the speed control.
Slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Note: Each time the walking belt is stopped, the
speed control must be moved to the RESET po-
sition before the walking belt can be restarted.
Start the walking belt.
After you have moved the speed control to the
RESET position, slowly slide it to the right until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin ex-
ercising. Change the speed of the walking belt as
desired by sliding the speed control.
During the first few minutes that you use the tread-
mill, inspect the alignment of the walking belt, and
align the walking belt if necessary (see page 13).
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails
and slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the top
or bottom of the incline control until the desired in-
cline level is reached.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the three displays.
The LED Track—The
LED track represents a
distance of 1/4 mile. As
you exercise, the indi-
cators around the track
will light one at a time
until you have com-
pleted 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.
TIME/DISTANCE dis-
play—This display
shows the elapsed time
and the distance that
you have walked or run,
in miles.
CALS/FAT CALS
display—This display
shows the approximate
numbers of calories and
fat calories you have
burned. (See FAT
BURNING on page 14.)
Every seven seconds, the display will change from
one number to the other. Arrows in the display will
indicate which number is currently shown.
SPEED display—This
display shows the
speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour.
To reset the displays at any time, press the
ON/RESET button.
Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure your
heart rate, stand on
the foot rails and
place your thumb on
the pulse sensor as
shown. The pulse
sensor is pressure ac-
tivated—fully press it
down. Do not press
too hard, or the cir-
culation in your
thumb will be re-
stricted, and your
pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your thumb
slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the heart
rate display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at
this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will ap-
pear in the display and then your heart rate will be
shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another
15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the
displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too
low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your
thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset.
Press down again on the sensor as described
above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of
pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several
times until you become familiar with it. Remember to
stand still while measuring your heart rate.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest level.
The incline must be at the lowest level when the
treadmill is raised to the storage position.
Remove the key from the console. The displays
will turn off about five minutes after the key is re-
moved. Note: To conserve the batteries, the dis-
plays will automatically turn off any time that
the walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET
button is not pressed for five minutes.
