Insert the key fully into the power switch. 

Inserting the key will
not turn on the dis-
plays. The displays will
turn on when the
ON/RESET button is
pressed or when the
walking belt is started.
Note: If you just in-
stalled batteries, the displays will already be on.

Reset the speed control.

Slide the speed control
down to the RESET 
position.

Note: Each

time the walking belt
is stopped, the speed
control must be
moved to the RESET
position before the
walking belt can be
restarted. 

Start the walking belt.

After you have moved the speed control to the
RESET position, slowly slide it upward until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin ex-
ercising. Change the speed of the walking belt as
desired by sliding the speed control. 

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails
and slide the speed control to the RESET position.

Follow your progress with the three displays.

TIME/DISTANCE
display

ÑThis display

shows the elapsed time
and the distance that
you have walked or run
on the treadmill. Every
seven seconds, the display will change from one
number to the other. A colon (:) will appear when
the elapsed time is shown.

SPEED display

ÑThis

display shows the
speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour. 

CALORIES/FAT CAL-
ORIES display

ÑThis

display shows the ap-
proximate numbers of

calories

and 

fat calories

you have burned. (See
FAT BURNING on
page 14.) Every seven seconds, the display will
change from one number to the other. Arrows in
the display will indicate which number is currently
shown.    

To reset the displays at
any time, press the
ON/RESET button.  

When you are finished exercising, stop the
walking belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt and
remove the key from the console. The displays will
turn off about five minutes after the key is removed.

Note: The displays will automatically turn off in
order to conserve the batteries any time that
the walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET
button is not pressed for five minutes.  

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE TREADMILL

The incline of the treadmill can be changed by raising
or lowering the back end. 

Before changing the in-

cline, remove the key and unplug the power cord. 

Hold the
rear roller
endcap
with both
hands.
When the
back end
of the
treadmill is
in the low-
est posi-
tion, the incline is about 10%. Raise the back end until it
clicks into position. (Note: It may be necessary to shake
the treadmill lightly so that it clicks into position.) The in-
cline will then be about 5%. Raise the back end again
until it clicks into position. The incline will then be about
3%. To lower the back end, raise it past the highest po-
sition and then lower it. 

CAUTION: Before exercising,

push on the back of the treadmill to make sure that
the incline legs are locked in position. Do not place
objects under the treadmill to change the incline;
change the incline only as described above.
