Follow the steps below to operate the console.

Insert the key fully into the console. 

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

Reset the speed control and start the walking
belt.

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. 

Next, slowly slide the speed control up until the
walking belt begins to move at slow speed.
Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin
walking. 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.

Note: During the first few minutes that the treadmill
is used, inspect the alignment of the walking belt
and align it if necessary (see page 13).

Monitor your progress with the displays.

TIME/DISTANCE dis-
play

—This display

shows the elapsed time
and distance that you
have walked or run, in
miles. Every few sec-
onds, the display will
change from one number to the other, as shown
by the arrows in the display.  

CALS/FAT CALS/
SPEED display

—This

display shows the
approximate numbers
of calories and fat calo-
ries you have burned.
(See FAT BURNING on
page 14.) In addition, the display shows the speed
of the walking belt, in miles per hour. Every few

seconds, the display will change from one number
to the next, as shown the the arrows in the display.  

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, slide the speed control to
the RESET position, and remove the key from the
console. The displays will turn off a few minutes
after the key is removed.

Note: Any time that the

walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET but-
ton is not pressed for a few minutes, the dis-
plays will automatically turn off. 

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE TREADMILL

To vary the intensity of your exercise, the incline of the
treadmill can be changed. There are four incline levels.

Before changing the incline, remove the key and
unplug the power cord. 

Next, fold the treadmill to the

storage position (see HOW TO FOLD THE TREAD-
MILL FOR STORAGE on page 10). 

To change the incline, first remove the incline pin from
one of the incline legs as shown below. Adjust the
incline leg to the desired height and fully reinsert the
incline pin. Make sure that the incline pin is in the
“locked” position shown in the inset drawing. Adjust the
other incline leg in the same way. 

Make sure that

both incline pins are inserted from the direction
shown.

CAUTION: Before using the treadmill, make sure
that both incline legs are at the same height. Do
not use the treadmill with the incline pins removed.

After you have adjusted the incline legs, lower the
treadmill (see HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL
FOR USE on page 11).
