IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the treadmill at all times.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 325 pounds. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught in the treadmill.

Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women. Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 8), plug the power cord into a surge suppressor

(not included) and plug the surge suppressor into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 8. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local HealthRider dealer or call 1-800-

806-3651 and order part number 146148.

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppressor away from heated surfaces.

13. Never move the walking belt while the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See

BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the treadmill is not working properly.)

14. Never start the treadmill while you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails while using the treadmill.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.

16. Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster than walking speeds. Using hand weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance.

Exercises using hand weights should be attempted only by experienced users.

17. The pulse sensors 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.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. Always remove the key, unplug the power cord, and move the on/off switch to the off position when the treadmill is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the location of the on/off switch.)

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the sensor unit.

Tabs

Sensor Unit

Chest Strap

Sensor

Unit

Tab

Buckle

Next, wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit.

Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side

(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).

Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°

Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the center of the walking belt. For the console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 26).

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM , a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

Grounded Outlet Box

Surge Suppressor

Grounding Pin

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local HealthRider dealer or call 1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a

UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the

Speed display and/or the Distance/Incline display will flash to alert you, and three tones will sound.

When the first segment is completed, all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second segment.

The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the final segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and no time remains in the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed settings move one column to the left, if all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators in the columns will appear in the program display. When the speed settings move to the left again and not all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings will move back up.

If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Speed or

Incline buttons on the console. Every few times one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment column. If any of the columns to the right of the

Current Segment column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Segment column, an additional indicator will light or darken in those columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the speed setting so that all of the indicators in the

Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings in the program display will not move downward as described above. When the current segment of the program ends, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the next segment.

WARNING:

Using hand weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using hand weights should be attempted only by experienced users.

5

Follow your progress with the displays.

Refer to step 5 on page 12.

6

When the program has ended, remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails and make sure that the incline of the treadmill is at the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when the

treadmill is raised to the storage position. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. Note: If the displays and indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode.

Refer to page 23 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, move the on/off switch near the power cord to the off position and unplug the power cord.

HOW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAMS

WARNING:

If you have heart problems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the pulse programs. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

1



2

Put on the chest pulse sensor.

To use a pulse program, you must wear the

chest pulse sensor. Refer to page 7 for instructions.

3

Select one of the two pulse programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select one of the pulse programs, press the Select

Workout button repeatedly until one of the two pulse program indicators lights.

The profiles on the console show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. The program display will show a simplified profile of the program. The Time/Segment Time display will show how long the selected program will last.

4

Enter your age.

When a pulse program is selected, the word

AGE will appear in the Pulse display. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button.

The current age setting will then appear in the display. Press the buttons again to enter your age.

The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly. When your age is shown, press the Enter button.

14

5

Enter a maximum heart rate setting.

After you have entered your age, the letters

PLS will appear in the Pulse display. Press the

+ or – button. A number will then appear in the display. This number is the maximum heart rate setting for the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to 85% of your maximum possible heart rate; if Pulse program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum possible heart rate.

Note: Your maximum possible heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum possible heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from 123 to 161 beats per minute (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of 190 is 161).

If you want to change the maximum heart rate setting, press the + and – buttons. The buttons can be held down to change the setting quickly. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

6



Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. (The Time/Segment Time display will show both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment). One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. The heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing

Current

Segment column of the program display. The heart rate

Current Segment settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and the Speed display and the Distance/Incline display will flash. When the first segment is completed, all heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column, and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to the heart rate setting for the second segment.

The program will continue until no time remains in the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if you decrease the speed, the incline will automatically increase; if you increase the speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:

When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters PLS will flash in the Pulse display. In addition, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to CHEST PULSE SEN-

SOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING on page 7.

Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button.

Screw (99) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

6. The heart rate monitor does not function properly a. If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, refer to CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOT-

ING on page 7. b. If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, the battery should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit.

Insert a coin into the slot in the cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position.

Remove the cover.

Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit.

Insert a new CR 2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.

The pulse sensors 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.

uses easily 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 speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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 aerobic exercise, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.

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 define 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.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill.

Fat Burning

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired.

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
