4 SETUP

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

Most Life Fitness Treadmills are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada. Below is a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the treadmill model supports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet. Line voltage is noted on the product???s serial label.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter must not be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, correct amperage outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment???s grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

TURNING THE UNIT ON

To turn the treadmill on, locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the treadmill near the power cord and turn it ON.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To adjust, turn the STABILIZING LEG (A) or (B) until the rocking motion ceases and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor.

Note: If excessive vibration occurs during use, adjust the height of the levelers (A) closer to the uprights. Do not adjust the height of the levelers (B) further from the uprights.

Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper operation.

CHECKING THE BELT

After the treadmill has been installed and stabilized, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, ensure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet, as described in the above Electrical Requirements section. Then turn the treadmill on. Stand on the side rails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. To start the belt, press the WALK key, then press the SPEED UP arrow key until the treadmill reaches 4.0 mph/ 6.4 kph. If the striding belt appears off-center, see the instructions in Tracking (Centering) An Existing Or New Striding Belt (Section 6.3).

Note: Normal belt operating position is for the belt to be located within the belt travel position indicators on the motor cover (see illustration to the right). If the belt is not in this position, see Section 6.3

FOLDING AND UNFOLDING THE TREADMILL

The treadmill???s deck can be folded up when not in use. To do so, make sure that the incline is set to 0%, then simply grab the deck and lift it until it locks into place. To lower the deck again, push the running surface in with one hand and pull the release handle to slowly lower it to the ground. Make sure the deck is completely lowered before using the treadmill.

POWER SWITCH

Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions - "I" (one) for ON and "0" (zero) for OFF.

MOVING THE TREADMILL

Turn the treadmill off and disconnect its power cord, then raise its deck.

Note: If adjustments were made to the front levelers during setup, make sure to tighten the levelers snug against the base frame before moving.

The treadmill may now be moved on its front platform wheels by pushing and pulling on its handrails. Do not attempt to move the treadmill by pushing or pulling on the deck or deck support tubing.

IMMOBILIZING THE TREADMILL

When it is necessary to immobilize the treadmill, press and hold both the SPEED DOWN ARROW and the STOP keys on the activity zone. Use the same key sequence to mobilize the treadmill.

14

5 ACTIVITY ZONE AND HEART RATE SENSOR OVERVIEW

ACTIVITY ZONE

The Go System Activity Zone (C) offers control over the basic operations of the treadmill, using the buttons described below.

H

F D E G

J

D. Start: Causes the belt to begin moving at 0.5 mph and 0% elevation.

E. Stop: Causes the belt to slow to a gradual stop. One push pauses the workout, two pushes display workout informa- tion, and three pushes reset the workout.

F.Incline Arrows: Change the belt???s incline gradually, increasing (UP ARROW) or decreasing (DOWN ARROW) the incline by 0.5% each time the user presses an arrow.

G.Speed Arrows: Change the belt???s speed gradually, increasing (UP ARROW) or decreasing (DOWN ARROW) the speed by 0.1 mph each time the user presses an arrow.

H.Low/Med/High: Changes the belt???s incline immediately to a preset value. Initially these buttons are set to change the incline to 1.5% (Low), 3% (Mid) and 5% (High). However, the user can set these buttons to new values by first changing the belt???s incline to the desired new value, then holding down the button the new value will be assigned to until the treadmill beeps.

I.Walk/Jog/Run: Changes the belt???s speed immediately to a preset value. Initially these buttons are set to change the speed to 2 mph (Walk), 4 mph (Jog) and 6 mph (Run). However, the user can set these buttons to new values by first changing the belt???s speed to the desired new value, then holding down the button the new value will be assigned to until the treadmill beeps.

J.E-Stop Magnet: This circular magnet connects to the E-Stop Lanyard, which must be clipped to the user???s clothing when the treadmill is in use. Pulling the lanyard so that it comes free of the magnet will stop the treadmill???s striding belt. This serves as a safety feature, stopping the belt should the user stumble or fall. Replacing the magnet will show the Workout Summary data.

Note: Removing the E-Stop Magnet stops the walking belt and incline motor, but all parts are still electrically ener- gized. In case of electrically caused errors, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet.

15

HAND PULSE SENSOR SYSTEM

The hand pulse sensors (K) are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the treadmill. During a workout, grasp the sensors that are set into the handlebars. For an accurate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console displays the heart rate after 15 to 20 seconds.

6.1TROUBLESHOOTING

17

Problem

When I try to save a workout on the USB stick I receive the following message: UNABLE TO SAVE SEE MANUAL. Note: Applies to Track Console only.

The wireless heart rate is not working.

A heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost.

???OFF??? is displayed in the incline window.

???Immobilized??? is displayed in window.

iPod is not recognized. Note: Applies to Track Console only.

iPod is not charging while in Energy Saver mode. Note: Applies to Track Console only.

???Low Battery??? message is displayed on the console. Note: Applies to Track Console only.

Cause / Solution

The console may not have recognized the USB stick. Try unplugging the USB stick and plugging it back in.

The USB stick may be full.

The USB stick may not be compatible with the product.

Try using a different USB stick.

Potential reasons for the wireless heart rate not to work properly include:

1.The wireless heart rate is turned OFF in the Settings Menu. Enter the Settings Menu and verify that WIRELESS HR is turned ON.

2.There is poor contact between the telemetry heart rate strap and the skin. Refer to Heart Rate Telemetry Strap for details.

3.There is electrical interference from electrical appliances with the telemetry heart rate strap from fluorescent lights, kitchen appliances, etc. Move the treadmill to a different location or move electrical appliances away from the treadmill.

4.The battery in the Heart Rate Telemetry Strap needs to be replaced. The battery is a CR2032 (3V).

Use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and portable mp3 players, causes external noise interference.

Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio/ video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/high current power line

Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment. This message relates to a problem with the Incline system.

If the incline has been repeatedly moved up and down in a manual program, the lift motor may have activated a thermal protection device.

Simply let the treadmill sit for 30 minutes and cycle power.

Recalibrate the treadmill following the instructions in Section 3.6 Calibration.

The treadmill has been immobilized through software. Press the SPEED DOWN ARROW and STOP on the Activity Zone to exit this state.

This is displayed if your version of the iPod Player is not supported by the treadmill.

It may also be displayed if the connector on the treadmill or iPod is damaged.

Your iPod will not charge if the treadmill enters Energy Saver mode. This is normal.

The console has an internal battery that keeps the real time clock functioning if the treadmill is unplugged. This real time clock is only needed if you use the Life Fitness ???Virtual Trainer??? website. You do not need to replace the battery if you do not use the website. Contact Customer Service for guidance on how to change the battery. The battery is a CR1632 (3V).

6.2PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Life Fitness Treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today.

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until the defective parts are required or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness treadmill operating at peak performance:

IMPORTANT: Turn the treadmill off and unplug prior to performing any maintenance.

Weekly

Inspect the power cord. If the cord is damaged call technical support. Make sure the cord is positioned in a location where it will not be damaged.

Check the operation of the Emergency Stop System.

Check the operation of the Stop Key.

Check the position (centering) of the walking belt.

Vacuum around and under the walking belt. It is normal for there to be some black dust behind the unit from the walking belt.

Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with mild soap, water and a soft

Monthly cotton cloth or use a Life Fitness approved cleaner.

Note: Do not use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners on the product. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; spray the cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit.

Inspect the exterior parts for wear and check that user assembly bolts are still tight.

You will receive a message ???LUBRICATE WALKING BELT??? on the console that Yearly reminds you to re-lubricate the belt after a fixed number of usage hours. The pro-

cedure to lubricate the walking belt is listed below.

Lubricating the Walking Belt

1.Turn the treadmill off with the ON / OFF switch and then unplug the power cord from the outlet.

2.Loosen the rear roller adjustment bolts approximately 10 full turns. Be sure to note how many turns you have rotated the screws since this is how many turns you will tighten them at the end of this procedure.

6.3HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT ON THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

Do not move the treadmill or place hands under the treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!

Tool Required: 6mm Hex Key Wrench

THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS

The Life Fitness treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards, which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of the striding belt (A) without removing the guards.

Note: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit may cause striding belt misalignment. See How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill in Section 4 prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.

Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of the ROLLER must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an ideal belt tension at the pivot point.

20

TRACKING (CENTERING) AN EXISTING OR NEW STRIDING BELT

1.Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts (D) on each of the rear roller guards.

2.Stand on the sides of the treadmill and straddle the belt. Enter the MANUAL

Workout and set the belt speed to run at 4.0 mph (6,4 kph).

3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise with the provided 6mm hex key wrench, and then turn the left ten- sion bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to cen-

ter of roller.

Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt does not track properly, contact Customer Support Services.

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

Under normal usage, the treadmill striding belt may stretch slightly. If the belt starts to slip during use, take the steps listed below to correct the tension.

1.Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill.

2.Turn the belt tensioning bolts clockwise a quarter-turn per side to tension the belt. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter-turns per side).

3.Set the treadmill at 2.0-mph (3,2 kph) and get on to make sure the belt no longer slips. Also, check the striding belt???s tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt.

Note: Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.

6.4USING AND TESTING THE SAFETY STOP PULL CORD

During operation of the treadmill, the lanyard on the Safety Stop Pull Cord should be attached to an item of the user???s clothing.

While the treadmill is on and the console display is active, remove the Safety Stop Pull Cord from the treadmill. A mes- sage shall be displayed on the console similar to ???EMERGENCY STOP - REPLACE KEY???. With the Safety Stop Pull Cord removed no keys shall function on the treadmill.

Place the Safety Stop Pull Cord back in place. The treadmill will reset and will be ready for operation.
