The three INCLINE
programs automati-
cally control the
incline of the tread-
mill during your
workouts. The
graphs labeled P2,
P3, and P4 on the
console show how
the incline will
change during the HIKER, AEROBIC CROSS
TRAINER, and INTERVAL programs. Follow the steps
below to use an INCLINE program.

Plug in the power cord.

See step 1 on page 9. 

Insert the key fully into the console.

See step 2 on page 9. 

Select one of the INCLINE programs.

When the key is
inserted, the MANUAL
mode will be selected.
To select one of the
INCLINE programs,
press the PROGRAM
SELECT button repeatedly until a ÒP-2,Ó ÒP-3,Ó or 
ÒP-4Ó appears in the TIME/PACE display. (Program
2 is the HIKER program; Program 3 is the AERO-
BIC CROSS TRAINER program; Program 4 is the
INTERVAL program.) 

Press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED
Ò+Ó button to start the program.

When the button is pressed, the SPEED display will
flash and a tone will sound twice. If the incline of the
treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically
decrease to 1.5%. After a moment, the walking belt
will begin to move at 1.0 mph. Hold the handrails
and begin walking. 

As you exercise, the incline of the treadmill will peri-
odically change as indicated by the graphs labeled
P2, P3, and P4 on the console. The speed of the
walking belt can be changed as desired during the
program with the SPEED buttons. The TIME/PACE
display will show the time remaining in the program.
During the last three minutes of the program, the
walking belt will slow to allow you to cool down.
During the last ten seconds of the program, the
incline will decrease to 1.5%. When no time
remains, the walking belt will slow to a stop.

To stop the program momentarily, press the STOP
button. The displays will pause and the TIME/PACE
display will begin to flash. To restart the program,
press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED Ò+Ó
button. To end the program, hold down the STOP
button for two seconds.

Note: While the program is in progress, the difficulty
level of the program can be adjusted, if desired, with
the INCLINE buttons. Press the INCLINE Ò+Ó button.
A number will flash in the INCLINE/DISTANCE 
display for three seconds. This number is the 

maximum incline

that the treadmill will reach during

the program. Press the INCLINE Ò+Ó button again.
Each time the button is pressed, the maximum
incline setting and all other incline settings of the
program will increase slightly. The INCLINE ÒÐÓ 
button can be used in the same way to decrease the
difficulty level of the program.  

Follow your progress with the four displays.

See step 6 on page 10.

When the program is completed, remove the key
from the console.

Make sure that the incline of the treadmill is set
at 1.5%.

Remove the key from the console. Store

the key in a secure place. In addition, press the
on/off switch to the off position. (See the drawing
near the top of page 9.)
