HOW TO ADJUST THE FIRMNESS OF THE
WALKING PLATFORM
The walking
platform is
specially designed
to cushion the
impact as you
walk or run on
the treadmill. The
firmness of the
walking platform
can be adjusted
to any of three
settings using the
control on the right side of the treadmill. For a firmer
walking platform, turn the control clockwise. For a
softer walking platform, turn the control counterclock-
wise. If it is difficult to turn the control, lift up on
the walking platform while turning the control.
Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, the firmer the
walking platform should be. If the walking platform is
too soft, the treadmill may bounce excessively.
HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS
The included hand
weights let you add
upper body exercise
to your workouts. As
you walk on the tread-
mill, hold the 2-pound
weights at your sides
or press the weights
above your head. To
increase the intensity
of your exercise, use
the 3-pound weights.
WARNING: Do not
use the hand
weights at speeds
higher than a walk.
Using weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your balance.
Exercises using weights should be attempted only
by experienced users.
The hand weights
can be stored in the
handy weight rack
on the console.
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
An optional chest pulse sensor adds even more
features to the console. The chest pulse sensor offers
hands-free operation and continuously monitors your
heart rate during your workouts. To purchase the
optional chest pulse sensor, please see the back
cover of this manual.
