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 15). Next, locate 
the power switch on the 
treadmill frame near the 
power cord. Press the 
power switch into the reset 
position. 

IMPORTANT: The con-
sole features a display 
demo mode, designed to 
be used if the treadmill 
is displayed in a store. If 
the displays light as soon 
as you plug in the power 
cord and press the power 
switch into the reset position, the demo mode is 
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, hold down 
the Stop button for a few seconds. If the displays 
remain lit, see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 
23 to turn off the demo mode. 

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 displays will light. 

IMPORTANT: In an emergency, the key can be 
pulled from the console, causing the walking belt 
to slow to a stop. Test the clip by carefully taking 
a few steps backward; if the key is not pulled from 
the console, adjust the position of the clip.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1.    Insert the key into the console. 

 See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER at the left.

2.   Select the manual mode.

If the manual mode is not selected, press the 
Manual Control button on the console.

3.  Start the walking belt. 

  To start the walking belt, press the Start button, the 
Speed increase button, or one of the 1 Step Speed 
buttons numbered 1 through 12. 

 If you press the Start button or the Speed increase 
button, the walking belt will begin to move at 1 
mph. As you exercise, change the speed of the 
walking belt as desired by pressing the Speed 
increase and decrease buttons. Each time you 
press one of the buttons, the speed setting will 
change by 0.1 mph; if you hold down the button, 
the speed setting will change in increments of 0.5 
mph. Note: After you press the button, it may take 
a moment for the walking belt to reach the selected 
speed setting.

 If you press one of the numbered 1 Step Speed 
buttons, the walking belt will gradually change 
speed until it reaches the selected speed setting. 
To select a speed setting that includes a decimal——
such as 3.5 mph——press two numbered buttons in 
succession. For example, to select a speed setting 
of 3.5 mph, press the 3 button and then immedi-
ately press the 5 button. Note: This will not function 
if the console is set to metric units.

 To stop the walking belt, press the Stop button. 
The time will begin to
