TREADMILL OPERATION  
LUBRICATING THE WALKING PLATFORM  
The console features six modes:  
• Speed—This mode displays your speed, in miles  
per hour.  
Before the treadmill is used, the walking platform  
should be lubricated. Open the included lubricant  
packet. Reach under one side of the walking belt as  
far as you can, and apply half of the lubricant to the  
walking platform. Then, reach under the other side of  
the walking belt and apply the remaining lubricant.  
After you have applied the lubricant, walk on the  
treadmill for a few minutes to spread the lubricant.  
• Distance—This mode displays the number of miles  
you have walked.  
• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time.  
• Odometer—This mode displays the distance that  
the walking belt has moved since the batteries were  
changed.  
• Calorie—This mode displays the approximate num-  
ber of calories you have burned.  
Apply lubricant here  
• Scan—This mode displays the Speed, Distance,  
Time, Odometer, and Calorie modes.  
Follow the steps below to operate the console.  
1. Turn on the power.  
Apply lubricant here  
To turn on the power, press the console button or  
begin walking. Note: If batteries were just installed,  
the power will already be on.  
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION  
Before the console can be operated, batteries must be  
installed (see assembly step 6 on page 5). If there is a  
thin sheet of plastic on the console, remove the plastic.  
2. Track your progress with the six modes.  
When the power is  
turned on, the Scan  
mode will be selected  
and the SCAN indica-  
tor will appear. The  
console will display  
the Speed, Distance,  
Time, Odometer, and  
SCAN Indicator  
Calorie modes, for about six seconds each, in a  
repeating cycle.  
To select only the Speed, Distance, Time,  
Odometer, or Calorie mode, press the console but-  
ton until only the SPEED, DIST, TIME, ODO, or  
CAL indicator appears in the display. Make sure  
that the SCAN indicator does not appear.  
To reset all modes (except for the odometer mode),  
press the console button for about three seconds.  
3. Turn off the power.  
To turn off the power, simple wait for a few minutes.  
If the walking belt is not moved and the console  
button is not pressed for a few minutes, the power  
will turn off automatically.

lower, or move the treadmill.  
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations  
shown below. CAUTION: To decrease the possi-  
bility of injury, bend your legs and keep your

tightened, you should be able to lift each side of  
the walking belt 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the tread-

d. The console, like most electronics, is susceptible  
to static electricity build-up caused by certain  
types of clothing or by the operation of the tread-  
mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect read-  
ings, apply an anti-static spray to the handrail.  
Anti-static spray is available where laundry sup-  
plies are sold.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easi-  
ly accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only  
after the first few minutes does your body begin to use  
stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn  
fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is between the lower two numbers in your  
training zone as you exercise.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for individu-  
als over the age of 35 or individuals withpre-  
existing health problems.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For effective aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the highest number in your train-  
ing zone.  
WHY EXERCISE?  
Exercise has proven essential for good health and  
well-being. A well-rounded exercise program helps to  
develop a stronger and more efficient heart, improved  
respiratory function, increased stamina, better weight  
management, increased ability to handle stress, and  
greater self-esteem.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
To measure your  
heart rate, stop exer-  
cising and place two  
fingers on your wrist  
as shown. Take a  
six-second heartbeat  
count, and multiply  
the result by ten to  
find your heart rate.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows  
recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic  
exercise.  
(A six-second count is used because your heart rate  
drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart  
rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exer-  
cise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity  
of your exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three impor-  
tant parts:  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to  
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers are your “training  
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A warm-up, consisting of five to ten minutes of  
stretching and light exercise. This will increase your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
Training zone exercise, including 20 to 30 minutes of  
exercise with your heart rate in your training zone.  
Burning Fat  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at the proper  
intensity level for a sustained period of time. During  
9
 
A cool-down, consisting of five to ten minutes of  
stretching. Stretching after exercise is effective for  
increasing flexibility and helps to offset problems  
caused when you stop exercising suddenly.  
Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise,  
plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for  
many, and the self-discipline required to rise early and  
exercise increases productivity throughout the day. For  
others, exercising before dinner helps them to relax.  
Whatever time you choose, be consistent. The key to  
success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest after  
each workout. After a few months of regular exercise,  
you may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired.
