HOW TO USE THE TREADMILL
  HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
Use a Surge Suppressor
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be 
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s 
power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interfer-
ence can result from weather conditions or from other 
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the 
risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge 
suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge 
suppressor, see precaution 14 on page 3.
Use only a surge suppressor 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 also be electri-
cally rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must 
be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a 
properly functioning surge suppressor could result 
in damage to the control system of the treadmill 
and serious injury to users.
Plug in the Power Cord
The treadmill 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. The treadmill power cord has a plug with a 
grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).
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. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or 
more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do 
not plug other electrical devices, except for low-
power devices such as cell phone chargers, into 
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same 
circuit. IMPORTANT: If the treadmill is connected to 
an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker 
trips repeatedly when the treadmill is used, see the 
front cover of this manual to purchase an arc filter.
A temporary 
adapter may 
be used to 
connect the 
surge sup-
pressor to 
a 2-pole 
receptacle 
if a properly 
grounded 
outlet is not 
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must 
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent 
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. 
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not 
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box 
cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should 
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can 
be installed by a qualified electrician.
      DANGER: Improper connection 
of the power cord increases the risk of elec-
tric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will 
not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed 
by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure 
whether the treadmill is properly grounded, 
contact a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE 
The treadmill console offers a selection of features 
designed to make your workouts more effective and 
enjoyable. 
When you use the manual mode, you can change the 
speed and incline of the treadmill with the touch of a 
button. As you exercise, the console will display instant 
exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart 
rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or a compat-
ible heart rate monitor. See page 23 for information 
about purchasing an optional chest heart rate moni-
tor.
In addition, the console features a selection of on-
board workouts. Each workout automatically controls 
the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you 
through an effective exercise session. 
You can also connect your smart device to the console 
and use an iFit
® app to record and track your workout 
information.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or 
audio books with the console’s sound system while you 
exercise.To turn on the power, see page 19. To use the man-
ual mode, see page 19. To use an onboard workout, 
see page 21. To use an interval training workout, 
see page 22. To connect your smart device to the 
console, see page 22. To connect your heart rate 
monitor to the console, see page 23. To use the 
sound system, see page 23. To use the information 
mode, see page 24. To use the tablet holder, see 
page 24.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in 
either miles or kilometers. To fi nd which unit of mea-
surement is selected, see THE INFORMATION MODE 
on page 24. For simplicity, all instructions in this sec-
tion refer to miles. 
IMPORTANT: If there are sheets of plastic on the 
console, remove the plastic. To prevent damage 
to the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes 
while using the treadmill. The fi rst time you use 
the treadmill, observe the alignment of the walking 
belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see 
page 27).

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill has been exposed to 
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do 
not do this, you may damage the console displays 
or other electrical components.
Plug in the power cord (see 
page 17). Next, locate the 
power switch on the tread-
mill frame near the power 
cord. Press the power 
switch into the reset 
position. 
Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the 
clip attached to the key and slide the clip onto the 
waistband of your clothes. Then, insert the key into the 
console. After a moment, the display will light. 
IMPORTANT: In 
an emergency, the 
key can be pulled 
from the console, 
causing the walk-
ing belt to slow to a 
stop. Test the clip 
by carefully taking 
a few steps back-
ward; if the key is 
not pulled from the console, adjust the position of 
the clip.
IMPORTANT: Before you use the treadmill, take 
the following steps to ensure that the console 
shows the correct incline level of the treadmill: 
First, press the Incline increase button once. Next, 
press either the Incline decrease button or the low-
est Quick Incline button to set the treadmill to its 
lowest setting. When the frame stops moving, the 
treadmill is ready for use.HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

itor, remove 
the sheets of 
plastic from 
the metal con-
tacts on the 
pulse bar. In 
addition, make 
sure that your 
hands are clean. 
  To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot 
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on
