IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis- played in a store. If the display lights as soon as you plug in the power cord and switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the reset position, the demo mode is turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down the Stop button for a few seconds. If the display remains lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 21 to turn off the demo mode.

key into the console. After a moment, the display will light. IMPORTANT: In an emergency situation, the key can be pulled from the console, causing the walking belt to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from the console, adjust the position of the clip.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic. To prevent dam- age to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes while using the treadmill. The first time you use the treadmill, observe the alignment of the walking belt, and center the walking belt if neces- sary (see page 27).

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To find out which unit of measurement is selected or to change the unit of mea- surement, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page

21.For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.

If you press one of the numbered speed buttons, the walking belt will gradually change speed until it reaches the selected speed setting.

To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the walking belt, press the Start button, the Speed increase button, or one of the numbered speed but- tons.
