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 at

least eight feet of clearance behind it and two

feet on each side. 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 mois-

ture 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 oxygen is 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 clothes when

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes

that could become caught in the treadmill.

Athletic support clothes are recommended

for both men and women. Always wear ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare

feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),

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.

11. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

meets all of the specifications described on

page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see

your local GOLD’S GYM dealer or call 1-877-

776-4777 and order part number 146148, or

see your local electronics store.

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge

suppressor could result in damage to the con-

trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-

tem is damaged, the walking belt may change

speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,

which may result in a fall and serious injury.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor 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 tread-

mill is not working properly.)

14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing 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. The pulse sensor is not medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key, unplug

the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit

breaker to the off position when the treadmill

is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for

the location of the circuit breaker.)

18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 22.)

You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20

kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an

electronic “chirping” sound will alert you

when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill

is about to change. Always listen for the

“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-

cline changes. In some instances, the speed

and/or incline may change before the per-

sonal trainer describes the change.

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can

manually override the speed and incline set-

tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-

cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”

is heard, the speed and/or incline will change

to the next settings of the CD or video program.

22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from

your CD player or VCR when you are not

using them.

23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill every three months.

24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-

ing.

25. DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the treadmill, and before performing the main-

tenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the

motor hood unless instructed to do so by an

authorized service representative. Servicing

other than the procedures in this manual

should be performed by an authorized service

representative only.

26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not

dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or

the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or

on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Assembly requires included allen wrench , your own phillips screwdriver , rubber

mallet , wire cutters , and adjustable wrench .

For help identifying the assembly hardware, see the drawings below. If a part is not in the parts bag, first

check to see if it has been preassembled.

sition. Position the U-base (20) against the base of the

Uprights (65) as shown, with the Bumpers (98) under the

U-base. Finger tighten two 2” Bolts (26) with Base

Washers (94) down into the base of the Uprights and the

U-base. Then, attach the U-base with two 3” Bolts (23),

two Base Washers (94), and two Nuts (13). Tip the tread-

mill forward if necessary. Tighten the two 2” Bolts.

Lower the treadmill (see HOW TO LOWER THE TREAD-

MILL FOR USE on page 22).

5. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the

treadmill to protect the floor. For your benefit, familiarize yourself with the information on pages 23 and 24.

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-

performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

icone 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

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 GOLD’S GYM store or call 1-877-776-

4777 and order part number 146148, or see your

local electronics store.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (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 indi-

cate 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 unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

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 illus-

trated 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.

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 elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service-

man 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.

TREADMILL OPERATION

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of

features designed to make your workouts more

effective.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the

speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with

a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will

display instant exercise feedback. You can even mea-

sure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or

the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 21).

In addition, the console offers eight preset workout pro-

grams. Each program automatically controls the speed

and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an

effective workout. Two pulse programs are also offered.

Each program automatically adjusts the speed and in-

cline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a pre-

set range while you exercise. Note: The pulse programs

require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a

personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio

cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home

stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play

special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com

CDs and iFIT.com videocassettes are available sepa-

rately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically

control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per-

sonal trainer guides you through every step of your

workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call

toll-free 1-877-776-4777.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you

can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-

cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-

tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

more information.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the

steps beginning on page 11. To use a preset program,

see page 13. To use a pulse program, see page 14.

To use an iFIT.com CD or video program, see page

18. To use an iFIT.com program directly from our

Web site, see page 20.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear

plastic on the console, remove it.
