Refer to “Facility Screens Function” (pg. 20) for information on how to switch between MPH and
KPH measurements.
To walk or run forward, press the up arrow speed control until the treadmill surface begins to
move and you find yourself having to walk in a forward direction. Note that the speed reading is
displayed as a positive number. When moving forward, the up arrow key will increase speed
while the down arrow control will decrease speed. If you decrease speed all the way to zero, the
treadmill surface will stop. Check the specifications page to determine the maximum speed for
your particular model.

To walk backwards, go to 0 mph (or 0 km/h, or 0 m/sec) and wait for the treadmill to come to a
complete stop. Press the down arrow speed control.
Press either of the speed down arrows until the treadmill surface begins to move in a reverse
direction, forcing you to walk backwards. The speed display will show a negative number.
Continuing to press the down arrow control will increase your backwards walking speed and the
speed reading will become increasingly negative. Pressing the up arrow speed control will slow
your backwards walking speed until you reach zero mph, at which time the treadmill will stop.
Check the specifications page for maximum backwards velocity for your particular model.
Adjusting Treadmill Grade
The Pro 200 treadmill surface can be inclined between 0-15%, in one percent increments. The
numerical value represents the number of feet you will climb vertically for every 100 feet you
move horizontally. The up arrow control increases grade, while the down arrow control
decreases the grade.
Adjusting Body Weight Percentage
You can adjust your body weight while exercising on the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The adjustment
range allows you to exercise at weights between 20 and 100% of your body weight. For
example, if you weigh 160 pounds and set the body weight percentage at 20%, your effective
body weight will be 32 pounds. Set the control at 100% and you will be exercising at your full
body weight of 160 pounds. The up arrow controls increase and the down arrow controls
decrease body weight with your choice of 1% or 10% increments.
