Weslo ex18 Treadmill User Manual


 
Insert the key fully into the console.
Inserting the key will not turn on the displays. The
displays will turn on when the ON/RESET button is
pressed or when the walking belt is started. Note: If
you just installed batteries, the displays will be on.
Reset the console and start the walking belt.
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
position before the walking
belt can be restarted. Next,
slowly slide the speed control
until the walking belt begins to
move at slow speed. Carefully
step onto the walking belt and
begin exercising. Change the
speed of the walking belt as desired by moving the
speed control.
To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and
slide the speed control to the RESET position.
Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill
is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt,
and align it if necessary (see page 13).
Adjust the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the
treadmill, press the top or bot-
tom of the incline control until the
desired incline level is reached.
Follow your progress with the four displays.
TIME display—This
display shows the
elapsed time.
DISTANCE display
This display shows the
distance that you have
walked or run, in miles.
SPEED display—This
display shows the
speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour.
CALORIES/
FAT CALORIES/
PULSE display
This display shows
the approximate num-
bers of calories and
fat calories you have
burned. (See FAT
BURNING on page 14.) Every few seconds, the
display will change from one number to the other,
as shown by the mode arrows. This display also
shows your pulse when the pulse sensor is used
(see step 4).
The displays can be reset, if desired, by pressing
the ON/RESET button.
Measure your pulse if desired.
To measure your
pulse, 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 circu-
lation in your thumb
will be restricted, and
your pulse will not be
detected. Next, raise
your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator
in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your
thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three
dashes will appear in the display and your pulse
will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for
another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too
low, or if your pulse 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 pulse.
Turn off the power.
To turn off the power, simply wait for about four
minutes. If the walking belt is stationary and the
console buttons are not pressed for four minutes,
the power will turn off automatically. Remove the
key from the console and unplug the power cord.
