OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.

Grounded Outlet Box
Adapter
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
Surge Suppressor
Lug
Metal Screw
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
PROFORM dealer or call toll-free 1-800-366-7278
and order part number 14657. Use only a single-out-
let surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a tran-
sient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge
suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating
of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of
450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically
rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

When you are finished using the treadmill, move
the on/off switch near the power cord to the off
position.
The profiles on the console show how the target
heart rate will change during the pulse programs.
The numbers at the left end of the profiles show
the heart rate range for the programs. For exam-
ple, the first profile shows that the treadmill will
keep your heart rate at 65% to 85% of your maxi-
mum heart rate during the first program. (Your
maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. For example, if you are 25
years old, your maximum heart rate is 195 beats
per minute.)
When a pulse pro-
gram is selected,
the program display
will show a simpli-
fied profile of the
program.
Enter your age.

The heart rate monitor must be worn when a pulse
program is used. See HOW TO USE THE HEART
RATE MONITOR on page 6. Note: A pulse pro-
gram can be started without a heart rate reading;
however, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill
will automatically decrease if your heart rate is not
detected during the program.
The program will continue until the heart rate set-
ting for the last period is shown in the Current
Period column and the Time/Segment Time dis-
play counts down to zero. The walking belt will
then slow to a stop.
Press the Start button.
While the program is in progress, minor adjust-
ments can be made to the speed or incline of the
treadmill with the Speed or Incline buttons.
However, if you increase the speed, the incline
will automatically decrease; if you decrease the
speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the
incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease
the incline, the speed will increase. The console
will always attempt to keep your heart rate near
the heart rate setting for the current period. Note:
When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the
speed cannot be increased any further. When the
incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-
not be decreased any further.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and

When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash, a series of
tones will sound, and all heart rate settings will
move one column to the left. The heart rate set-
ting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column and the speed

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at
1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays).
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-
sor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation
of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as
c
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
Burning Fat
WARNING:
Before beginning
To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level
for a sustained period of time. During the first few
minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible
carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few
minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored
fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is
near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for in-
dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals
with pre-existing health problems.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. RememberÑthese are general guide-
lines. For more detailed information about exercise,
obtain a book or consult your physician.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the middle of your training zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your car-
diovascular system, the key to achieving the desired
results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The
proper intensity level can be found by using your heart
rate as a guide. For effective exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 65% and 85%
of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is
known as your training zone.
WARNING:
The heart rate moni-
tor is not a medical device. Various factors, in-
cluding your movement, may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
You can find your training zone in the table below.
Training zones are listed according to age and physical
condition.

Warming Up
Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-
ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles,
and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout
with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to
warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 29).
Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-
cise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20
to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your train-
ing zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly
and deeply as you exerciseÑnever hold your breath.

Cooling Down
Exercise Frequency
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your
muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-
plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the
right. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.
1
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
