OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
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.

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 PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.

Surge Suppressor
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
Lug
Metal Screw
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.

CAUTION:
Before operating the console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turning on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing above) while operating the treadmill.
• Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
• To reduce the possibility of electric shock, keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids on the console and place only a sealed water bottle in the water bottle holder.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before operating the console, make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in (see page 10).
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the clip attached to the key (see the drawing above), and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.
Insert the key fully into the console. After a moment, the displays will light. Test the clip by carefully tak- ing a few steps backward until the key is pulled from the console. If the key is not pulled from the console, adjust the position of the clip.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
1
Insert the key fully into the console.
A few seconds after the key is inserted, the displays will light.
2
Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the walking belt.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
As you exercise, change the speed of the walking belt as desired by pressing the Speed buttons.
Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if a button is held down, the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5
mph. Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers (see
SPEED DISPLAY on page 12). For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.
11
To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button.
The elapsed time will begin to flash in the
Time/Distance display.
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 16).
3
Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press either of the Incline buttons until the desired incline level is reached.
4
Follow your progress with the three displays.
Time/Distance
display—This display shows the elapsed time and the distance that
Mode Indicator you have walked or run.
The display will change from one number to the other every few seconds, as shown by the mode indicators. When the Stop button is pressed, the elapsed time will flash.
Fat Calories/Calories/
Pulse display—This display shows the approximate numbers of
fat calories and calories you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 17). The display will change from one number to the other every few seconds, as shown by the mode indicators. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the pulse sensor (see step 5).
Speed display—This display shows the speed of the walking belt
Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit of measurement, hold down the
Stop button, insert the key into the console, and continue to hold the Stop button for a moment. An
“E” for English miles or an “M” for metric kilometers will appear in the Fat Calories/Calories/Pulse display. Press the Speed increase button to change the unit of measurement. When the desired unit of measurement is selected, remove the key and then reinsert it.
To reset the displays, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key.
5
Measure your heart rate if desired.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor.
Do not press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted and your pulse will not
be detected. After a few seconds, the heartshaped indicator in the Fat Calories/Calories/
Pulse display will begin to flash, one or two dashes
(– –) will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for about 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 pulse sensor for a few seconds.
Then, place your thumb on the pulse sensor as described above. Remember to stand still while measuring your heart rate.
6
When you are finished exercising, remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and remove the key from the console. Keep the key in a secure place.
HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS
To exercise your upper body as you walk on the treadmill, hold the
2-pound weights at your sides or press the weights above your head. To increase the intensity of your exer-
Weight Rack cise, use the 3-pound or 5-pound weights. The hand weights can be stored in the weight rack.
WARNING: Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster than walking speeds. Using weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using weights should be attempted only by experienced users.
