1.2 SETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Life Fitness Treadmill requires a dedicated* line according to the electrical configurations listed in the chart below.

* One individual branch circuit for each treadmill per NEC article 210-21 (b) (1) and 210-23 (or other appropriate, country specific electrical compliance guidelines). The hot, neutral and ground wires must each be routed independent- ly (not looped or tied to other circuits.)."

NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a 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 2-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 20 AMP outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. Models drawing 20-amps must be installed on a dedicated line.

IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur temporaire pour brancher cette fiche sur une prise bipolaire en Am??rique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 20 A correctement mise ?? la terre n'est disponible, en faire installer une par un ??lectricien qualifi??. Les mod- ??les utilisant 16 A ou plus doivent ??tre branch??s sur un circuit sp??cialis??.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electri- cian. Any modification to the electrical plug will result in a voided warranty.

Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise ?? la terre peut entra??ner des risques de d??charge ??lectrique. Consulter un ??lectricien si des doutes subsistent quant ?? la technique de mise ?? la terre. NE PAS MODIFIER la fiche fournie avec l'appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas ?? une prise, faire installer une prise correcte par un ??lectricien qualifi??. Toute modification ?? la fiche annule la garantie.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the treadmill to the location in which it will be used. See

Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of eight inches, or 21 centime- ters, between the treadmill and other units on either side.

Allow a distance of six feet, or two meters, from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.

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, loosen the JAM NUT (A), and turn the STABILIZING LEG (B) until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the JAM NUT.

NOTE: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper opera- tion. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level is recommended to ensure proper leveling.

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.

SETTING THE CLOCK

The unit contains a clock, which is used for system maintenance and event tracking. After the unit has been turned ON, the display will prompt for the following:

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE THE CLOCK FROM GMT TO LOCAL TIME - IF YES PRESS

ENTER - IF NO PRESS CLEAR"

If the clock setting has not been set, follow the instructions below to properly set the clock. To accept the current settings, press the CLEAR key.

To change the setting, press the ENTER key. The MESSAGE CENTER displays: "CHOOSE CLOCK DISPLAY MODE BY USING ARROW KEYS". Use an ARROW key to toggle the settings between "24 hour mode" or "12 hour mode AM/PM". To accept the mode, press the ENTER key.

The current time will be displayed in Greenwich Mean Time.

???Use the TIME arrows to change the hours

???Use the INCLINE arrows to change the minutes

???Use the SPEED arrows to change the seconds

When finished press the ENTER key. The MESSAGE CENTER displays "UPDATING CLOCK". After the clock has been updated the message center displays "clock set to local".

At this point, the clock has been reset, and the normal startup procedure continues.

If the clock setting is incorrect, follow the instructions below to change the clock setting.

???This prompt appears for the first five times that the unit is turned on, including power-ups at the factory.

CENTERING THE BELT

After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Requirements at the beginning of this section for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.

Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill belt. Do not stand on the belt at this time. Press the QUICK START key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using the SPEED UP arrow.

If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (A) a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration below. This action sets the striding belt tracking back to center of the roller.

If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller.

Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized.

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. The phone numbers are listed in Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

13

FITNESS NETWORKING

The two interchangeable type RJ45 networking ports (A) are located on the back of the display console. These network ports, located behind the display console rear access door, allow the treadmill to be connected to a fitness entertainment system and/or a fitness network, such as FitLinxx??.

???Networking: The built-in network ports allow the unit to exchange workout information with a fitness network database.

???Fitness Entertainment: The built-in network ports allow the treadmill to power a third-party receiver for use with an entertainment system, such as the Cardio Theater?? system, BroadcastVisionTM or EnerciseTM.

14

POWER CORD ROUTING

The power cord can be run straight from the treadmill, shortened and exited out the user-front left side, or run under the frame using the power cord clips and exited out the user right-rear side of the treadmill.

For efficient cord management, the following routing options are recommended:

With the power cord unplugged, insert the clips in the appropriate holes. See the illustration below. Use Hole Pattern 1 or 2 to locate the clips and secure the power cord with the clips, taking up any slack between clips.

NOTE: It may be necessary to tip the treadmill to route the power cord properly.

To plug the power cord into an outlet in front of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 1 for outlets located at the front of the machine.

NOTE: To accomodate treadmill incline, at least two feet (24???) of power cord is required between the outlet and the last power cord clip for outlets in front of the treadmill.

To plug the power cord into an outlet in rear of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 2 for outlets locat- ed at the rear of the machine.

WARNING: Make sure that there is a 6-foot clearance behind the treadmill. Contact Life Fitness Customer Service for an optional longer power cord if necessary.

WARNING: Insure that the power cord (A) does not contact the striding belt or get pinched between the frame (C), lift arm (B) or the wheel; failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury.

AVERTISSEMENT : S'assurer que le cordon d'ali- mentation n'entre pas en contact avec le tapis et ne soit pas pinc?? entre le cadre, le bras de levage ou la roue. Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut provoquer de graves blessures.

3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING?? EXERCISE

3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING?? EXERCISE?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training?? approach to exercise.

Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum???, and its value depends on the workout. The Life Fitness Treadmill features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training?? exercise. FAT BURN targets a recommended heart rate that is 65 percent of the theoretical maximum??? (HRmax), and CARDIO targets 80 percent.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate using the

SELECTION ARROWS.

The Heart Rate Zone Training?? workouts measure heart rate. Wear a telemetry chest strap to enable the treadmill's on-board

computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The com- puter automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the tar- get heart rate based on the actual

heart rate.

??? Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to

220 minus an individual???s age.

The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar?? telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-351-3737.

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the elec- trical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a heart rate chest strap is detected, the maximum speed is 12 mph.

4THE WORKOUTS

4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins.

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body???s fat reserves. The user wears a heart rate chest strap. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (elevation), based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum???.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The user wears a heart rate chest strap. The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoreti- cal maximum.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

FIT TEST is a five-minute workout with which the user can measure cardiovascular fitness compared to other people of the same age and gender.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

Begin workout

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. The CARDIO workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be

(220-40)*.80=144.

**This workout requires the user to wear the telemetry chest strap.

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight when prompted by the mes- sage center using the SELECTION keys. The prompt will appear ten seconds after the workout begins. The incline level is set to zero by default. Change the level using the INCLINE ARROW key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

22

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower- intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys.

The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases, as seen in the chart following these descriptions below. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. To do so, wear the chest strap. Note that the MESSAGE CENTER does not display a request for a heart rate measure- ment, as it does with the CARDIO and FAT BURN.

1Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

4Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.

23

1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.

FIT TEST

The treadmill Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five min- utes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart sup- plies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

Press the WORKOUT SELECTION ARROW KEYS button repeatedly until the FIT TEST option appears in the message center. Press ENTER to select the FIT TEST option.

The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.

The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.

The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.

The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER SPEED)(2-4.5 mph). Consult the following recommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the UP/DOWN SPEED ARROW KEYS to enter the corresponding level.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

24

FIT TEST PROGRAM SUGGESTED EXERTION LEVELS

NOTE: Treadmill will incline to 5% after a one minute warm-up.

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate (220-age).

Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used:

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range

The computer will not accept:

heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute

body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)

ages below 10 or over 99 years

data input that exceeds human potential

If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, and pressing ENTER.

It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is depen- dent on many factors, including:

amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)

time of day

time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)

time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)

time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)

For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and aver- age the three scores.

NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60 percent to 85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.

25

The tables below list fit test results.

RELATIVE FITNESS CLASSIFICATION FOR MEN

Life Fitness developed this rating scale based on VO2 max percentile distributions referenced in American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" (6th Ed. 2000). It is designed to provide a qualitative description of a user's VO2 max estimation, and a means of assessing initial fitness level and tracking improvement.

26

FAT BURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user???s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum??? for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can be only changed by the user

CARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however, the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum**. The higher target promotes cardiovascu- lar improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

NOTE: The user can change the target heart rate at any time during a FAT BURN or CARDIO workout by using the WORKOUT SELECTION ARROW keys.

??? Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to

220 minus an individual???s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's rec- ommended THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117, or 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65 = 117.

**Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's rec- ommended THR for the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be

(220 - 40)* .80 = 144.

4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

SELECTING AN INTENSITY LEVEL

The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level. The word ???level??? refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is repre- sented by a column with all seven rows lit.

In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline per- centage changes automatically to match that hill.

To change levels during a workout, use any of the ARROW keys.

USING INSTAPACETM FEEDBACK

The InstaPaceTM Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager???s Configuration. See Section 5, titled The Manager???s Configuration, for more information. When the user adjusts the treadmill speed, using the SPEED ARROW KEYS, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously.

USING ZEROUTTM SPEED CONTROL

If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager???s Configuration. See section 5.2, titled

Configuration Settings, for more information.

COOL-DOWN

Life Fitness' unique Cool-Down Protocol automatically customizes every cool-down based on

28

each user's workout performance. Workout performance factors, such as speed, incline, dura- tion, and heart rate, determine the duration and intensity of the cool-down.

HOLD-N-SCROLL

This feature enables the user to scroll automatically through options simply by holding down an ARROW key, making it unnecessary to press the ARROW key repeatedly.

4.5 LOGGING ON TO THE NETWORK

When the treadmill is connected to a network, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to log on with a personal ID number. Press ENTER. Then, for each digit of the ID number, use the ARROW keys to scroll through the displayed numerals, and press ENTER when the correct numeral appears. Repeat this step for each digit.

6SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA

6.1 PREVENTATIVE 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. Commercial Life Fitness treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers, regu- larly standing up to marathon use - 18 hours a day, seven days a week - in health clubs, col- leges and military facilities the world over.

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 defective parts are repaired 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:

???Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners.*

???Check operation of the emergency stop system once a week.

???Check the operation of the stop button once a week.

???Inspect and vacuum the area directly surrounding and under the unit regularly.

???Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.

???Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt, deck and line cord.

???Check to make sure the unit is properly leveled.

???Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.

The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.5 inches (38 mm) to 2.0 inches (51 mm) from either side of the frame. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see sec- tion 6.5, titled How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt, or contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services, for proper alignment instructions, 1-800-351-3737 (USA).

*NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended.

6.5 HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT

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

THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS

A 5/16-inch hex key wrench is required for this task. 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 the 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 the topic titled "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the Section 1.2, titled Set Up, prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.

Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjust- ment 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.

TRACKING (CENTERING) A STRIDING BELT

Two people are needed to perform this procedure.

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

2One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses the MANUAL workout and sets the belt speed to 4.0 MPH (6.4 KPH).

3If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.

If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.

4Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to contin- ue running for several minutes to observe if tracking remains stabilized.

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. The phone numbers are listed in Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

40

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

1Enter the Manual workout and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).

NOTE: DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON BELT.

2Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is correct.

3Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clock- wise for each side.

4Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quar- ter turns) per side when adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.

5Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure proper tracking (See Section 6.5 ???How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt???). If the strid- ing belt drifts to the left or right see the topic titled Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt on the previous page.

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.

41

6.6 CLEANING THE WAX NOZZLE

The MESSAGE CENTER periodically displays a wax reminder message, if the WAX REMINDER setting is enabled in the MANAGER???S CONFIGURATION. When this message appears, take the following steps:

A.Remove panel on right side to access nozzle (A).

B.Make sure that the unit is off, and the electrical plug has been removed from the wall.

C.Using a Phillips head screwdriver remove the two screws holding the right access panel in place.

D.Carefully reach inside and while gently pushing the nozzle (A) into its brass holder body (C), rotate the nozzle one-quarter turn clockwise. Make note of the orientation of the two flat sur- faces on the top and bottom of the nozzle. When the nozzle is replaced after cleaning, the flats must be on the top and bottom for nozzle to be correctly replaced.

E.Place the nozzle in a container of hot water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully remove the nozzle.

CAUTION: If necessary, scrub with a medium soft bristle brush until there is no further wax visible on the outside or inside of the nozzle.

F.Dry the nozzle with a lint-free towel and re-insert with a quarter-turn counterclockwise.
