STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

Before operating the console, make sure that the
power cord is properly plugged in (see page 10). 

In addition, make sure that
the reset/off circuit breaker,
located on the treadmill frame
near the power cord, is in the
reset position.

Next, stand on the foot rails of the treadmill. Find the
clip attached to the key (see the drawing above), and

slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothes.
Insert the key into the console. A tone will sound and
the three displays will light. 

Test the clip by carefully

taking a few steps backward until the key is pulled
from the console. If the key is not pulled from the
console, adjust the position of the clip. 

Follow the steps below to operate the console.

Insert the key into the console.

When the key is inserted, a tone will sound and
the three displays will light. 

Press the Speed + button to start the walking
belt.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and
begin walking. 

As you exercise, change the speed of the walking
belt as desired by pressing the Speed + and –
buttons. Each time a button is pressed, the speed
setting will change by 0.1 mph; if a button is held
down, the speed setting will change in increments
of 0.5 mph. To change the speed setting quickly,
press the Quick Speed buttons. 

Note: The con-

sole can display speed and distance in either
miles or kilometers (see SPEED DISPLAY on
page 12). For simplicity, all instructions in this
section refer to miles.
