IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
13. Keep the power cord away from heated sur-  
faces.  
14. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if  
the power cord or plug is damaged or if the  
treadmill is not working properly. (See BE-  
FORE YOU BEGIN on page 6 if the treadmill is  
not working properly.)  
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this  
manual.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not  
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks  
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet  
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
15. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not place the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
16. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
6. Do not operate the treadmill until it is properly  
assembled (see HOW TO SET UP THE  
TREADMILL on page 7).  
7. Regularly inspect and tighten all parts of the  
treadmill.  
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and switch the on/off circuit  
breaker to the off position when the treadmill  
is not in use.  
8. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
9. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 pounds.  
19. Do not change the incline of the treadmill by  
placing objects under it.  
10. Never allow more than one person on the  
treadmill at a time.  
20. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you will be alerted  
by an electronic “chirping” sound when the  
speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about  
to change. Always listen for the “chirp” and  
be prepared for speed and/or incline changes.  
In some instances, the speed and/or incline  
may change before the personal trainer de-  
scribes the change.  
11. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when  
using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothes  
that could become caught in the treadmill.  
Athletic support clothes are recommended for  
both men and women. Always wear athletic  
shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet,  
wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
21. When using iFIT.com CD’s, you can manually  
override the speed and incline settings at any  
time by pressing the SPEED and INCLINE but-  
tons. However, when the next “chirp” is  
heard, the speed and/or incline will change to  
the next settings of the CD program.  
12. When connecting the power cord (see page 10),  
plug the power cord into a grounded circuit  
capable of carrying 20 or more amps. No other  
appliance should be on the same circuit. Do not  
use an extension cord.  
3
 
22. Always remove iFIT.com CD’s from your CD  
player when you are not using them.  
25.  
DANGER:  
Always unplug the power  
cord immediately after use, before cleaning  
the treadmill, and before performing the main-  
tenance and adjustment procedures de-  
scribed in this manual. Servicing other than  
the procedures in this manual should be per-  
formed by an authorized service representa-  
tive only.  
23. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
24. Make sure to perform all maintenance proce-  
dures outlined in this manual. Failure to do so  
will void the warranty and may result in dam-  
age to the treadmill.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This  
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can  
connect your portable CD player to the treadmill and  
play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available  
separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically con-  
trol the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal  
trainer guides you through every step of your workout.  
High-energy music provides added motivation. Each  
CD features two programs designed by certified per-  
sonal trainers. To order iFIT.com CD’s, call toll-free  
1-877-363-8449.  
Six preset workout programs are also offered. Each  
program automatically controls the speed and incline

(not included).  
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a  
pulse-driven program. Refer to the instructions  
included with your chest pulse sensor.  
If you have selected the CARDIO WALK PULSE  
or ENDURANCE PULSE program, go to step 6.  
If you have selected the MANUAL PULSE pro-  
gram, go to step 5.

programs, press the MODE button repeatedly until  
the words CARDIO WALK PULSE, ENDURANCE  
PULSE, or MANUAL PULSE appear in the main  
display. Note: The CARDIO WALK PULSE pro-  
gram will keep your heart rate near 65% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate (refer to step 5 at  
the right for an explanation of your estimated max-  
imum heart rate). The ENDURANCE PULSE pro-  
gram will keep your heart rate near 80% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate. The MANUAL  
PULSE program will keep your heart rate near a  
percentage that you select.  
After you have entered your age, the words  
ENTER PERCENT and the target heart rate set-  
ting for the program will be shown in the main dis-  
play. The target heart rate setting represents a  
percentage of your estimated maximum heart  
rate. Your estimated maximum heart rate is 220  
minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years  
old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190  
beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30  
years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal  
to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).  
If desired, you can change the target heart rate  
setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the  
ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held  
down to change the target heart rate setting  
quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from  
50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.

Each pulse-driven program is divided into one-  
minute segments. (The main display will show both  
the time remaining in the program and the time re-  
maining in the current segment of the program.)  
One target heart rate setting is programmed for  
each segment. (During the MANUAL PULSE pro-  
gram, the same target heart rate setting will be  
programmed for all segments.)  
HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM  
The fitness test program measures your relative fitness  
level. For the best results, the program should be used  
at a time when your energy level is high; the program  
should not be used if you have already exercised dur-  
ing the day. Follow the steps below to use the program.  
Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor  
(not included).  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound  
and then the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
will change, if needed, to bring your heart rate  
closer to the target heart rate setting for the next  
segment. The speed and/or incline setting will flash  
in the main display to alert you before the speed  
and/or incline changes. The program will continue  
until no time remains in the program. The walking  
belt will then slow to a stop.

the MODE button repeatedly until the words FIT-  
NESS TEST appear in the main display.  
However, if you decrease the speed, the incline  
will automatically increase; if you increase the  
speed, the incline will decrease. If you increase  
the incline, the speed will decrease; if you de-  
crease the incline, the speed will increase. The  
treadmill will always attempt to keep your heart  
rate near the target heart rate setting for the cur-  
rent segment. Note: When the incline reaches the  
lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any  
further. When the incline reaches the highest set-  
ting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.  
When the fitness test program is selected, the  
words FITNESS TEST will scroll across the main  
display. The words ENTER AGE and the current  
age setting will then be shown.  
If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters PLS will flash in the main display and  
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-  
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If  
this occurs, refer to the instructions included with

matically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will  
begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and  
begin walking.  
When the cool-down period is completed, the  
walking belt will slow to a stop and your fitness  
level will be shown in the main display. There are  
ten fitness levels; fitness level 10 is the highest.  
The fitness test program is divided into seven,  
four-minute levels. One speed setting and one in-  
cline setting are programmed for each level.  
At the end of each minute of the program, a tone  
will sound; when the first four-minute level is com-  
pleted, a tone will sound and the main display will  
show the words LEVEL 2, indicating that the sec-  
ond four-minute level has begun. The incline will  
then change to 4% and the speed of the walking  
belt will increase to 2.5 mph.  
Note: The SPEED and INCLINE buttons will not  
function while the fitness test program is selected. If  
your pulse is not detected during the program, the  
letters PLS will flash in the main display. If your  
pulse is not detected at the end of any four-minute  
level, the fitness test program will end and the  
main display will show a fitness level of 0.  
The fitness test program cannot be stopped tem-  
porarily and then restarted. However, the program  
can be stopped at any time with the STOP button.  
The main display will then show an estimated fit-  
ness level.  
At the beginning of each four-minute level, the  
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-  
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-  
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%  
of your estimated maximum heart rate and the cur-  
rent four-minute level is completed. The fitness  
test program will then end, regardless of how  
many levels remain.

TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM  
Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform peri-  
odically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the  
walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over after every 6,000 to  
7,500 miles. Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.  
1. Remove the key and unplug the  
1–3  
power cord. Remove the two  
Hood Screws (2) and lift off the  
Motor Hood (1). Next, remove the

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Determine your target heart rate.  
3
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET  
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which  
you would like your heart to work during aerobic  
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your  
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum  
number of times that your heart can pump during  
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,  
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only  
an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress  
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.  
• Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-sugar  
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  
• Eat at least five servings of fruits and  
vegetables daily.  
• Reduce red meat consumption; eat lean meat,  
white meat, and fish.  
• Choose healthful snacks; bring healthful foods  
with you to work or in the car.  
Once you have determined your MHR, you can  
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning  
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of  
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.  
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the  
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—  
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those  
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-  
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85  
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The  
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for  
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.  
• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your  
portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat  
slowly.  
• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.  
• Pay attention to fat content and calories.  
• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.  
• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water  
daily.  
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice  
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,  
check your heart rate five minutes into your work-  
out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.  
Then, check it again near the end of your workout  
to verify that you have maintained your target  
heart rate for the recommended period of time.  
EXERCISE STEPS  
The following nine steps for designing your exercise  
program were developed by exercise physiologists at  
NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only  
a part of a safe and effective training program. There  
are many other aspects to developing a life-long  
commitment to physical fitness.

3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended.  
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and  
rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold  
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times  
for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,  
and groin.  
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS  
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,  
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are  
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.  
However, be sure to stay within your target heart  
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per  
week for 60 minutes per workout.  
4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of your  
feet together and your knees outward. Pull your  
feet toward your groin area as far as possible.  
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3  
times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable  
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head  
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders  
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your  
back straight.  
5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against a  
wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot  
with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to  
your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30  
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.  
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
Warm up before you begin.  
4
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind  
for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insur-  
ance against injury and soreness. Warm up with  
two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal in-  
tensity.  
1
Stretch after your warm-up.

A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-  
ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches  
on a smooth, flat surface.

The correct form for several stretches is described  
below (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure  
to move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent  
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.  
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you  
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for  
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.  
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.

2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front of  
the other, reach forward and place your hands  
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and  
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front  
leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the  
wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further  
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back  
leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons,  
and ankles.

BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE  
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-  
age physical condition should exercise for 20 to  
30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want  
to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 min-  
utes. The key is to maintain your target heart rate  
for the duration of the workout period.  
• Effective weight loss and management  
• Added protection from heart disease  
• Increased strength and health of bones  
• Higher levels of energy for greater productivity  
during the day  
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong  
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes  
from the start, which is common, try to exercise  
for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.  
Recent research indicates that several short  
workouts in one day can also provide fitness  
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase  
and it will become easier to exercise for longer  
periods of time.  
• Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed  
day  
• Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

Cool down after aerobic exercise.  
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:  
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"  
may help you to remember these three parts:  
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down  
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease  
slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the  
blood flow from your extremities back to your  
heart. Keep your legs moving on the treadmill at a  
slower pace for at least five minutes following the  
aerobic phase.  
“F” stands for the frequency of your work-  
F
outs. Three to five workouts per week are  
recommended. Exercise at least four times a  
week for weight loss.  
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.  
Check your heart rate at least twice during

session.

your aerobic exercise session: once during the  
session and once again at the end. Maintain a  
workout intensity level within your Target Heart  
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate  
using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method  
described below:  
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-  
ness. See step 5 on page 36.  
Participate in strength training.  
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This  
will make your heart rate stronger and easier to  
feel.  
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training  
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a  
happy life than just about anything else known to  
medical science today."  
2. Using the

touch your left  
wrist, one-  
fourth inch from  
your wrist joint,  
at the base of your thumb.  
A strength-training program increases your lean  
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning  
body fat. With additional muscle mass and  
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an ex-  
ercise program. You will also be less prone to in-  
juries during the aerobic phase of your workout.  
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let  
the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find  
your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.  
37  
 
Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready  
and your heart rate has moved below your target heart  
rate zone.  
WORKOUT TIPS  
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many of  
life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for  
your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are  
some tips that will help ease you into your new  
NordicTrack routine.  
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may  
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this  
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.  
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.  
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward  
yourself as you are successful.  
• Begin and end each exercise session with the  
stretches on page 36. Stretch in a smooth,  
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to  
30 seconds. You may experience some initial  
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of  
exercising inactive or poorly stretched  
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have  
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has  
moved below your target heart rate zone.  
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching  
routine must be performed every day.  
Work out at the Advanced level once you have  
reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be  
a maintenance program and should continue on a reg-  
ular, long-term basis.  
• Be aware of your body's signals and react to  
them accordingly. At your correct exercise in-  
tensity, you should be able to whistle or main-  
tain a normal conversation. If during  
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or  
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and  
consult your physician. Your heart rate may  
also be affected by such things as stress,  
caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.  
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-  
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety  
to your workout routine and further condition your  
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been  
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition-  
ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol-  
lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower in-  
tensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resis-  
tance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to three-  
minute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exer-  
cise. The duration of these periods should be based  
more on how you feel rather than time. A sequence  
such as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times during  
your workout session.  
WORKOUT PROGRAMS  
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At  
this level you should be concerned with slowly improv-  
ing your fitness level and endurance.  
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may  
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four  
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.

(B) it has not been subject to accident, misuse, abuse, improper service, or modification, and  
(C) claims are made within the warranty period.  
2. All coverage is provided by specific Product according to the guidelines listed on the chart below.  
3. If the Product or any covered part must be returned to a service facility for repairs, We, Ground Zero

5. This warranty does not cover damage or equipment failure caused by electric wiring not in compliance

rized service, misuse, accident, negligence, improper assembly or installation, debris resulting from any  
destruction activities in the Product’s environment, rust or corrosion as a result of the Product’s location,  
alterations or modifications without written authorization, or by failure on your part to use, operate, and  
maintain the Product as set in your owner’s manual will void this warranty. All terms of this warranty  
are void if this Product is moved beyond the continental borders of the United States of America

try’s local authorized Ground Zero Design Corporation representative.  
6. During the labor period, Ground Zero Design Corporation compensates Servicers for warranty trips  
within their normal service area to repair Product at the consumer’s location. You may be charged a trip  
charge outside the service area.  
7. Ground Zero Design Corporation Limited Warranty service may be obtained by contacting the authorized  
dealer from whom you purchased the Product, or by calling Customer Care at 1-800-201-2109.  
8. Product limited warranty is void when Product is installed in a country other than where sold.  
Limited warranty does not apply to:  
1. Repairs performed on Product with missing, altered, or defaced serial numbers.  
2. Service calls to correct installation of the Product or instruct owners on how to use the Product.  
3. Repair pick-up, delivery, or freight charges other than specified above.  
4. Any labor costs incurred beyond the applicable labor warranty period.
