FITNESS TEST

The treadmill features two different fitness tests. The fast-paced 2 km walking test requires a lower level of effort, while the 12-minute Cooper run test is better suited to those who are fit. You can use PSC to adjust the speed during the tests.

1.Select your user code (1-4) with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.

2.Press SELECT until the signal light shows next to the text TEST. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.

3.Press SELECT to choose between the 2 km walking test and the Cooper test. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.

2 KM WALKING TEST

The walking test requires the use of a heart rate monitor. The test measures your fitness level on the basis of your heart rate level during the exercise and the time taken to complete the 2 km distance. The test is preceded by a 3-minute warm-up period. We also recommend you continue walking slowly after the test, so that your heart rate returns smoothly to normal. On the basis of your performance, the meter will display an estimate of your maximum oxygen uptake capacity.

BEGINNING THE WALKING TEST:

1.The display prompts for user height: enter your height with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your setting.

2.The display prompts for the user’s sex: enter your sex with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your setting.

3.The display prompts for user weight: enter your weight with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your setting.

4.The display prompts for the user’s age: enter your age with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your setting.

5.The display reads WARM UP to indicate you can begin the 3-minute warm-up period. Begin the warm- up period by pressing START.

6.The running deck elevation is adjusted at 1 % to simulate air resistance. Adjust speed using the speed control keys or the PSC function. We recommend that you warm up by walking at a slightly faster pace than normally.

7.During the warm-up period, time will count down from three minutes. When the time displays 0:00, the meter gives an audio signal and the actual test will begin (TEST STARTED!).

PERFORMING THE WALKING TEST:

1.The goal is to walk the 2 km distance as quickly as possible. Adjust the speed yourself by using the speed control keys or the PSC function. Do not run during the test!

2.If the heart rate measurement is not working correctly, the display will show the alert CHECK TRANSMITTER. You should then make sure that you have properly followed the instructions on the use of the heart rate belt.

3.Once the 2 km distance is covered, the meter

gives an audio signal. NOTE! The treadmill will stop

automatically. The display gives the test result as your maximum oxygen uptake capacity. Compare your results to the fitness level categories for different age groups, shown in the table. Once you have completed the test, we recommend you walk at a relatively slow pace for 2-3 minutes to allow your hear rate to decrease gradually.

COOPER TEST

The Cooper test is used to calculate your fitness level on the basis of the distance you run in a period of 12 minutes: the longer the distance you cover, the better your fitness level. The test is preceded by a 3-minute warm-up period. We also recommend you continue walking slowly after the test, so that your heart rate returns smoothly to normal. On the basis of your performance, the meter will display an estimate of your maximum oxygen uptake capacity.

BEGINNING THE COOPER TEST:

1.The display reads COOPER SELECTED. Press START to confirm your selection.

2.The display reads WARM UP to indicate you can begin the 3-minute warm-up period. Begin the warm- up period by pressing START.

3.The running deck elevation is adjusted at 1 % to simulate air resistance. Adjust speed using the speed control keys or the PSC function. We recommend that you warm up by walking at a slightly faster pace than normally.

4.During the warm-up period, time will count down from three minutes. When the time displays 0:00, the meter gives an audio signal and the actual test will begin (TEST STARTED!).

PERFORMING THE COOPER TEST:

1.The goal is to run as long a distance as possible in a period of 12 minutes. Adjust the speed yourself by using the speed control keys or the PSC function. The display shows the time elapsed and your estimated results throughout the test.

2.Once the 12 minutes are up, the meter gives an audio signal. NOTE! The treadmill will stop automatically. The display gives the test result as your maximum oxygen uptake capacity. Compare your results to the fitness level categories for different age groups, shown in the table. Once you have completed the test, we recommend you walk at a relatively slow pace for 2-3 minutes to allow your heart rate to decrease.

MAINTENANCE

The equipment is safe to use only when periodically maintained and inspected for faults and wear. Do not attempt any servicing or adjustment other than those described in this manual. Any other servicing must be performed by an authorized service representative. Check the tightness of all fixing screws once a year. Do not overtighten. Defective components must be immediately replaced: the equipment must not be operated with any defective components.
