Enter your gender.
If you selected the EBBELING FITNESS TEST, you will be prompted to enter your gender. Either the word MALE or the word FEMALE will appear in the main display. To enter your gender, press the + and – buttons beside the ENTER button. When your gender is shown, press the ENTER button.
Press the QUICK START button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the IN- CLINE TRAINER will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each FITNESS TEST is divided into several seg- ments of different lengths. One speed setting and one incline setting are programmed for each seg- ment. The console will guide you through the FIT- NESS TEST and record your heart rate input to determine your relative fitness level.
When the GERKIN FITNESS TEST is completed, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your VO2 max and your fitness level will be shown in the main display. Note: There are 11.4 fitness levels; fitness level 11.4 is the highest.
When the EBBELING FITNESS TEST is com- pleted, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your VO2 max will be shown in the main display. When the FREEMOTION FITNESS TEST is com- pleted, the walking belt will slow to a stop and your VO2 max and your fitness level will be shown in the main display. Note: There are ten fitness levels; fitness level 10 is the highest.
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not function while a FITNESS TEST program is se- lected. If your pulse is not detected during the pro- gram, the letters PLS will flash in the main display. If this occurs, try the program again on another day. Make sure that you are wearing a chest pulse sensor as described in step 1 on page 20. The FITNESS TEST programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. However, the pro- grams can be stopped at any time with the STOP button. The main display will then show the words
FIT TEST ABORTED.
When the program is completed, remove the key.
