can be adjusted to any of three settings using the

control on the right side of the treadmill. For a firmer walking platform, turn the control clockwise. For a softer walking platform, turn the control counterclock- wise. If it is difficult to turn the control, lift up on the walking platform while turning the control. Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, the firmer the walking platform should be. If the walking platform is too soft, the treadmill may bounce excessively.

HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS

The included hand weights let you add upper body exercise to your workouts. As you walk on the tread- mill, hold the 2-pound weights at your sides or press the weights above your head. To increase the intensity of your exercise, use the 3-pound weights.

WARNING: Do not use the hand weights at speeds higher than a walk.

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.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR

An optional chest pulse sensor adds even more features to the console. The chest pulse sensor offers hands-free operation and continuously monitors your heart rate during your workouts. To purchase the optional chest pulse sensor, please see the back cover of this manual.
