HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to
c
old temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before turning on the power. If you do not
d
o this, you may damage the console displays or
other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord
(see page 13). Next, lo-
cate the reset/off circuit
breaker on the treadmill
frame near the power
cord. Switch the circuit
breaker to 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 switch the reset/off
circuit breaker to 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 19 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 to the
right) 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 position of
the clip.
IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of clear plastic on
the console, remove the plastic. To prevent dam-
age to the walking platform, wear clean athletic
shoes while using the treadmill. The first time you
use the treadmill, observe the alignment of the
walking belt, and center the walking belt if neces-
sary (see page 24).
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

the button, the speed setting will change in incre-
ments of 0.5 mph. Note: After you press the but-
tons, it may take a moment for the walking belt to
reach the selected speed setting.
If you press one of the speed buttons numbered 1
through 10, the walking belt will gradually increase
in speed until it reaches the selected speed setting.
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. To
restart the walking belt, press the Start button, the
Speed increase button, or one of the numbered
