treadmill operations
14
Before starting your treadmill the following actions will need to be properly completed:
1. Be certain that your treadmill is sitting level and stable. It is also recommended that you locate
your treadmill in a pleasant area that gives you something to look at while working out, such
as a window or television. Maintaining an exercise program with a treadmill located in a
poorly lit basement room is more difficult than when your treadmill is located in an active
and pleasant location.
2. Make sure that your treadmill is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as described in the
grounding section of this document.
3. Turn the On/Off switch, which is located in the front of your treadmill, to the On position.
4. Insert the magnetic safety key into the round area centered at the bottom of your display. If
the safety key is not inserted properly you will see lines across the middle of each LED display.
QuickStart
1. Attach the "Safety Key" to your clothing. This key will immediately shut off your treadmill if
removed and is strongly recommended for your safety.
2. QuickStart - The quickest and easiest way to start your treadmill is to push the Quick Start
button. This will cause the display to count down for 3 seconds and then begin in the
“Manual Program” at 0.6 mph.
3. Speed Adjustment - can be increased and decreased in 3 different ways:
Display Console - "/\" "\/" Each time you press the "/\" button on the display console the
speed will increase by 0.1 mile per hour.
Handlebar Speed Control - The heart rate sensor on the right side of the handlebars
includes a speed control switch. Pushing the switch on the right side increases the speed
by 0.1 mile and pushing the button on the right side decreases the speed. It needs to say
right side for increasing and left side for decreasing.
Quick Buttons - The display console includes buttons that immediately set the speed to
3, 4, 5, and 6 mile per hour without having to scroll through the speeds.
4. Incline - Like the speed settings, incline can be adjusted 3 different ways:
Display Console - "/\" "\/" Each time you depress the "/\" or "\/" button on the display
console the incline will increase or decrease by 1 level.
Handlebar Incline Control - The heart rate sensor on the left side of the handlebars
includes an incline control switch. Pushing the switch on the left side increases the
incline by 1 level and pushing the button on the right side decreases the incline by 1 level.
Quick Buttons - The display console includes buttons that immediately set the incline to
4, 6, 8, and 10 level without having to scroll through the incline levels.
5. Display Readouts - Besides "Speed" and "Incline" the center LED window will display Time,
Distance, Calories, Heart Rate and Laps. By pressing the MODE button, you can select the
function that you want displayed on the center LED window, or you can go to the Scan mode
to scan through all functions. In the "Quick Start" mode, time will start to count up from 0:00.
