HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER

IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem- perature before turning on the power. If you do not do this, you may damage the console displays or other electrical components.

Plug in the power cord (see page 13). Next, locate the reset/off circuit breaker on the treadmill frame near the power cord. Switch the cir- cuit breaker to the reset po- sition.

IMPORTANT: The console features a display demo mode, designed to be used if the treadmill is dis- played in a store. If the displays light 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 displays remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 19 to turn off the demo mode.

Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the clip attached to the key (see the drawing on page 14) and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.

Then, insert the key into the console. After a moment, the displays 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 posi- tion of the clip.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1.Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.

2.Select the manual mode. When the key is in- serted, the manual mode will be se-

lected. If you have selected the weight loss center or a clas-

sic workout, remove the key and then reinsert it.

3.Start the walking belt.

To start the walking belt, press the Start button, the Speed increase button, or one of the Precision Quick Speed buttons numbered 1 through 10.

If you press the Start button or the Speed increase button, the walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. As you exercise, change the speed of the walking belt as desired by pressing the Speed increase and decrease buttons. Each time you press a button, the speed setting will change by 0.1 mph; if you hold down a button, the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5 mph. Note: After you press a button, it may take a moment for the walking belt to reach the selected speed setting.

If you press one of the numbered speed buttons, the walking belt will gradually change speed until it reaches the selected speed setting. To select a speed setting that includes a decimal—such as 3.5 mph—press two numbered buttons in succession. For example, to select a speed setting of 3.5 mph, press the 3 button and then immediately press the 5 button.

To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. To restart the walking belt, press the Start button or the Speed increase button.
