Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve made a very smart investment! Your Executive Trainer treadmill is a high-quality fitness tool that
will give you years and years of fitness benefits.
One of the great things about the Executive Trainer is its diversity of applications. It’s terrific for just starting out on a
walking program or easy jog. In the case of a veteran runner, it’s the exact prescription needed for precision interval training
to lower your 10K time.
Regardless of the application, unpleasant weather is not an obstacle. Cold, windy, wet days will never discourage you again,
nor will the heat and humidity of the summer months. If you’re the type of person that likes to do two things at once, now
you can watch your favorite program on TV or keep an eye on your kids and take care of your health at the same time.
Did you know that your treadmill is an excellent stair-climbing simulator? Stair climbing has become a popular exercise
today. Your treadmill, when elevated, is a very good climber with more safety and comfort than a dedicated stair climber!
Your treadmill was a smart purchase, but you already knew that, so let’s move on and get started.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Following are some things you should do before you start to exercise on your treadmill:
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Be sure to familiarize yourself with this manual. Look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control panel operation
before using the treadmill.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Fill out your warranty registration card and mail it in today. Landice backs your treadmill with a strong warranty.
For the factory to respond to any problems you may have, we need your warranty information on file. Do it today.
Landice will send you a complimentary Landice T-shirt upon receipt of your warranty registration card.
SELECTING A LOCATION
Install your treadmill in a climate controlled room.
Allow a minimum clearance of 18 inches on each side of the treadmill.
Allow a minimum clearance of 4 feet at the rear of the treadmill.
Failure to leave ample clearance at the rear of the treadmill could result in the user becoming trapped between the treadmill
and the wall should the user accidentally trip and fall while exercising.
Be sure the line cord has plenty of slack and does not get pinched underneath the treadmill when the treadmill elevates up
and down. Make sure the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated line.

Built-in Programs
Programs have been added to the Executive Trainer so you can add some variety to your workouts. You can choose from
one of 5 built-in programs, which will run you through a pre-selected speed and elevation curve. When choosing a program
you select a maximum speed, maximum elevation and a time from 10 to 99 minutes. Once set, the treadmill will not go
above the maximum number unless you manually override it. Each program is divided into 20 segments of equal time,
beginning with 3 warm-up segments and ending with 2 cool-down segments. For example, a 40-minute program will
contain 20 two-minute segments.
The following figures represent the 5 built-in programs in the Executive Trainer.
FAT BURN
The Fat Burn program features two elevation peaks matched to an inverse speed curve. The overall goal of this program is to
elevate your heart rate, maintain the elevated heart rate for most of the workout, then gradually bring your heart rate down
via the last three cool down segments.
INTERMEDIATE
The Intermediate program features five elevation peaks matched to a challenging speed curve. The overall goal of this
program is to vary your heart rate by elevating and lowering it several times, providing you with a challenging
cardiovascular workout.

What is VO Max?
2
A person’s fitness level can be measured by the amount of oxygen his or her body can consume while exercising at maximum
capacity. VO Max is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters an individual can use in one minute
2
per kilogram of body weight. For years, only fitness trainers and doctors had access to this intricate fitness calculation.
Fortunately, the Executive Trainer not only takes care of all the complex VO Max calculations, but also gives you a simple
2
evaluation anyone can understand.
Scores may vary due to different line voltages, component tolerances, and individual’s affinity towards each test’s parameters.
For a more accurate VO Max calculation, take the average of the two scores (Balke and Firefighter Fitness Test).

Heart Rate Monitoring
The Executive Trainer treadmill comes standard with a wireless heart rate monitoring device and a contact heart rate cross-
bar (see AccuTrack Heart Rate Monitoring System) to give you feedback on how your body is affected by your workout. We
will take a look at a few basic concepts of heart rate monitoring so you can better understand how it all works and how to
maximize its use to allow you to reach the fitness level you desire.
What is exercise intensity?
Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are working at a given time during exercise. The American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM), the world’s leading medical and scientific authority on sports medicine and fitness, recommends
that every individual involved in an exercise program know how hard his/her body is working during exercise.
Your heart provides key information for determining how intensely you are working during exercise. Your heart rate (how
many times your heart beats per minute) is really an efficiency rating for your entire body. The number of times your heart
beats during each minute of exercise is a measurement of the intensity of the exercise. If your heart rate is low, exercise
intensity is low; if your heart rate is high, your exercise intensity is high.
What is maximum heart rate?
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum attainable heart rate your body can reach before total exhaustion. True
maximum heart rate is measured during a fatigue or “stress” test. This test must be done in a clinical setting and is not
practical or accessible for most people. Fortunately, your maximum heart rate can be established with a high degree of
accuracy using the following simple formula:
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate
If John is 35 years old, what is his estimated maximum heart rate?
220
-35
John’s Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 185
WARNING: The use of this formula assumes no underlying heart or respiratory disease or other condition,
which could be adversely affected by exercise. Consult your doctor before using this chart!!!
185 beats per minute is the estimated maximum number of times John’s heart can beat before his body would fatigue or
“max out.” This number is extremely helpful because it tells us the absolute highest exercise intensity John can handle before
his body wears out. The ACSM says that during exercise, John should keep his heart rate below his maximum so that he will
not become exhausted and have to quit. In fact, the ACSM gives John a specific percentage range of his maximum heart rate
to exercise in, known as his Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ).

Heart Rate Monitoring
Why should I monitor exercise intensity?
Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong
and efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective when you work out in a specific heart rate range or
zone. This is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is reflected by the number of beats per minute
your heart pumps. This zone can vary greatly depending on your age, fitness level and various other factors. If your
heart rate is too low during exercise, your body reaps little or no benefit. This means you’re not likely to see the
results you want, like weight loss or increased endurance. If your heart rate is too high during exercise, you may tire
too quickly and become frustrated, or even run the risk of injury. In this case, you’re likely to quit exercising because it’s
simply too difficult.
Monitoring exercise intensity helps you to stay at a level of exercise that allows you to accomplish your goals.
In fact, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that, in order to get the most benefit from your
cardiovascular exercise, you should work within your Target Heart Rate Zone for at least 20 to 60 minutes per
workout, 3 to 5 times per week. Knowing your exercise intensity (heart rate) will allow you to work at the right
level of exercise to accomplish this.
How do I determine my Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ)?
Your Target Heart Rate Zone represents the minimum and maximum number of times your heart should beat in one
minute of exercise. The American College if Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that all individuals should work
within a Target Heart Rate Zone of 60% to 85% of Maximum Heart Rate. This means that your heart rate during
exercise should not fall below 60% or rise above 85% of your maximum heart rate. Let’s look at John from our earlier
example. John is 35 years old, so his estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus 35, or 185 beats per minute (bpm).
The ACSM says that John should exercise between 60% and 85% of 185 beats per minute to stay in his THRZ. Let’s
determine John’s THRZ:
John’s Estimated Maximum Heart Rate =
Lower Target Limit 185 bpm (mhr) x 0.6 =
185 bpm
111 bpm
Upper Target Limit185 bpm (mhr) x 0.85 = 157 bpm
John’s Target Heart Rate Zone =
111 - 157 bpm
111-157 beats per minute is the range or zone John will want to keep his heart rate in during exercise in order to achieve
his goals. If John is a beginning exerciser, he’ll want to stay at the low end of his THRZ. If John is a more advanced
exerciser, he may want to work at the higher end of his THRZ to challenge himself more.
Different Intensity Levels within a Target Heart Rate Zone
Beginner:
Weight Loss:
Aerobic:
60% of MHR
75% of MHR
85% of MHR
What is a heart monitor?
A monitor consists of two parts: a transmitter and a receiver. The Executive Trainer comes equipped with 2 transmitter
options (the wireless chest strap or the contact heart rate bar). Each times your heart beats, the electrodes detect
the beat and send the information to the receiver on the treadmill. Your current heart rate (bpm) is visible on the
treadmill’s display.

Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate monitors and motivation
KEEP YOU SAFE
Exercising too hard can put you at risk for injury. A heart rate monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate
intensity at which you should exercise and warns you when your workouts go too far.
KEEP YOU IN YOUR ZONE
If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor is your
constant reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
SAVE YOU TIME
Our heart rate monitor is wireless and easy to use, so you can view valuable heart rate information at any time during exercise
without interrupting or stopping your workout.
GIVE YOU ACCURATE FEEDBACK
Our heart rate monitor is more accurate so you know exactly what your level of exercise intensity is during workouts.
Pulsemeters have a high margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise can result in errors as high as plus or
minus 15 beats per minute, with the risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.
The Executive Trainer includes two separate heart rate monitoring systems: The wireless heart rate chest strap transmitter and
the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate.
Wireless Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter (shown below)
To use the Wireless Chest Strap follow these steps:
Secure the Chest Strap
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt is
as tight as possible without being uncomfortable.
Apply Cardio Gel to the Electrodes
A tube of Landice Cardio Gel was shipped with your Executive Trainer
treadmill. Pull the belt away from your chest and apply a small dab to
each electrode. This will ensure a strong electrical contact between the
transmitter and your chest.
The Heart Rate Transmitter works best against bare skin. Since sweat (saltwater) is an electrical conductor, the transmitter will
work over a T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat. If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try wearing the
belt against bare skin.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The transmitter activates when the belt is properly wetted. In order to conserve battery life, wipe the electrodes dry when not
in use. Clean monthly with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives in cleaning, as they can cause permanent
damage to the electrodes. Do not bend or stretch the electrode strips, especially when storing the belt transmitter.

AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™
The AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™ can be used in place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of
the following functions:
• Monitor your Time in Zone
• Control HRC programs
• Help you maintain your Target Pulse
1. Use the NEXT button to switch to any screen that shows Pulse (see above).
2. Grab on to the pulse grips.
3. As soon as you put your hands on the grips the pulse will flash. This indicates that the system has
been activated.
4. Pulse will “beat” briefly and then display your heart rate. Your heart rate will be continuously monitored while your
hands remain on the grips.
NOTE: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the AccuTrack system will override the wireless signal while your hands
are on the bar. Once you release the AccuTrack bar, the treadmill will then default back to the wireless chest strap signal.
The HRC programs will continue to make speed and elevation adjustments to keep you at your target heart rate while your
hands remain on the grips. If you remove your hands the HRC programs will not make any speed or elevation changes until
you place your hands on the grips again.
The AccuTrack system is designed to be used at walking speeds. A natural running motion involves using your arms to
maintain balance. Since contact heart rate systems require your arms to remain stationary, we recommend using the system
only at speeds of less than approximately 4 mph (6.4 km/h) or the fastest speed at which you are comfortable walking.

Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts
Should you walk or run?
This depends on several things such as body weight, fitness goals, and what you like to do. Walking is the safest, most
compatible form of exercise for most people. If you’re just starting out, are new to exercise, or participate in aerobic activities
less than three times per week, we recommend that you walk. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced runner, stick with
your program — use your treadmill the way you want.
Here are some considerations to keep in mind:
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
If you’re interested in weight control, walking can burn as many calories as a moderate running pace. To get a very
small increase in caloric expenditure, you have to run fast and, for most people, the extra effort isn’t worth it.
Your chance of losing weight successfully is far greater with walking. Walking increases your daily caloric expenditure,
raises your metabolism and is easier to stick with than running.
Heavy users should always walk until they’ve shed some extra pounds and are closer to their desired body weight.
Extra weight means extra stress on joints and muscles, which in turn means residual muscle soreness.
If you’re concerned about getting a “tough” workout and don’t think walking is adequate, try walking up a hill!
You can get just as much cardiovascular intensity (heart rate and breathing response) from walking as you can from
running. Don’t fool yourself with preconceived notions about walking — you can sweat just as much by walking
as by running.
Take it easy! Walk. Lose weight in comfort. Avoid being sore and discouraged. After you’ve reached your target weight,
reevaluate. If you like walking and want to stick with it, terrific. On the other hand, if some running is appealing, try it out and
see what it’s like. Just remember that walking will get you fit and keep you fit.

Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts
FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE
Walkers:
Runners:
Walk 3-6 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day.
Run 3-5 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day.
DURATION OF EXERCISE
Walkers:
Runners:
Walk every day.
Run three to five times per week.
DURING YOUR WORKOUT
• Stay in the middle portion of the treadbelt.
• Monitor your breathing. Can you carry on a normal conversation or are you out of breath? If you
use the heart rate method of monitoring intensity, are you within the heart rate zone?
• Change the speed and incline as needed to stay within the breathing and heart rate criteria.
AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
• Drink a large glass of water (you’ll recover faster).
• Congratulate yourself for completing the workout.
• Do some light stretching exercises.
• Record that you completed the workout on your calendar.
KEEPING TRACK OF PROGRESS
• Keep a calendar that shows scheduled and actual workouts.
• Record every workout you complete.
• Compare planned with actual workouts completed. Aim for 90% completion. If you’re averaging
less than 90%, reevaluate your schedule and examine why you’re missing 10% of your workouts
(and the extra benefits from those missing workouts).
CALORIE COMPUTATIONS
• Calories and calories/hour are calculated using the formulas developed by the ACSM. There are
two different equations. One is for walking and one for running. The ACSM uses the walking
equation for speeds less than or equal to 3.7 mph. The running equations are used for speeds in
excess of 3.8 mph.
• The computations are based on a 150-pound person, which is a close enough estimate for most
people. If you wish the equations to be more precise, you may enter your weight into the treadmill
(see Getting Started).

Treadmill Maintenance
DANGER: Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are exposed when the drive
housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover be removed except by a
Landice factory-authorized technician.
TRACKING
The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill. Tightening (clockwise)
the adjustment bolt on the side of the machine that the belt has moved towards and loosening the bolt on the opposite side
an equal amount, will cause the belt to move towards the center. Adjustments should be made with the treadmill running
and in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for the belt to stabilize between each adjustment. Run the belt at high
speed (6-8 mph). To insure proper belt tracking and alignment, the treadmill must be placed on a stable and level surface.
A yellow warning label will show at the rear of the treadmill when the treadbelt is not tracked correctly (L8 and L9 only).
TREADBELT TENSIONING (pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation)
Need for tension is indicated by uneven belt speed and may be sensed by sudden stopping of the treadbelt when your foot
comes down on the belt. To check belt tension, run treadmill at 1 mph. Then, walk on machine. If belt does not feel like it
is slipping/hesitating, then belt is tensioned correctly. If belt slips/hesitates, then it is not fully tensioned. The same hex head
bolts used for tracking also tension the treadbelt. To tighten the treadbelt, turn both bolts clockwise exactly the same
amount a 1/4-turn at a time. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Continue
checking for treadbelt slipping. Once treadbelt is fully tensioned, speed up treadmill to 5 mph. Then, while jogging lightly,
check for any sudden slipping/hesitating of the treadbelt. Repeat treadbelt tensioning instructions if required.
MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSIONING (pre-set from factory)
The drive belt is tensioned by a nut located under the motor pan. This nut is screwed to a hook, which is attached to the
motor bracket. By turning the nut clockwise, you will tighten the nut pulling down the motor bracket, which will tighten the
drive belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If you over-tighten this belt you will snap the motor shaft. To measure the ten-
sion, twist the drive belt between the motor and the drive roller. The ideal tension will allow you to twist the drive belt 45˚.
If you can twist the belt past 45˚, it is too loose. If you cannot twist the belt to at least 45˚, it is too tight.
WARNING: Moving parts can cause serious damage.
Be sure to unplug treadmill before placing hands underneath the treadbelt!!!
TREADMILL LUBRICATION & CLEANING
It is recommended that you vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Your treadmill will last
longer and look better if you wipe the sweat off the unit after each workout.
Lubrication is not required on residential treadmills. In institutional settings Landice recommends lubricating the underside
of the treadbelt with Landice SlipCoat on a monthly basis (see SLIPCOAT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS sheet in
Lubrication Kit Box).
MOTOR BRUSHES
Motor brushes should be checked every six months on institutional treadmills and after six years on home units.
Service Check-List
• Tension and track treadbelt
• Lubricate belt and vacuum treadmill
• Check drive belt tension
• Check motor brushes
