HOW TO USE THE INCLINE PROGRAMS The three INCLINE programs automatically control the incline of the treadmill during your workouts. The graphs labeled P2, P3, and P4 on the console show how the incline will change during the HIKER, AEROBIC CROSS TRAINER, and INTERVAL programs. Follow the steps below to use an INCLINE program. 1 Plug in the power cord. See step 1 on page 9. 2 Insert the key fully into the console. See step 2 on page 9. 3 Select one of the INCLINE programs. When the key is inserted, the MANUAL mode will be selected. To select one of the INCLINE programs, press the PROGRAM SELECT button repeatedly until a ÒP-2,Ó ÒP-3,Ó or ÒP-4Ó appears in the TIME/PACE display. (Program 2 is the HIKER program; Program 3 is the AEROBIC CROSS TRAINER program; Program 4 is the INTERVAL program.) As you exercise, the incline of the treadmill will periodically change as indicated by the graphs labeled P2, P3, and P4 on the console. The speed of the walking belt can be changed as desired during the program with the SPEED buttons. The TIME/PACE display will show the time remaining in the program. During the last three minutes of the program, the walking belt will slow to allow you to cool down. During the last ten seconds of the program, the incline will decrease to 1.5%. When no time remains, the walking belt will slow to a stop. To stop the program momentarily, press the STOP button. The displays will pause and the TIME/PACE display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED Ò+Ó button. To end the program, hold down the STOP button for two seconds. Note: While the program is in progress, the difficulty level of the program can be adjusted, if desired, with the INCLINE buttons. Press the INCLINE Ò+Ó button. A number will flash in the INCLINE/DISTANCE display for three seconds. This number is the maximum incline that the treadmill will reach during the program. Press the INCLINE Ò+Ó button again. Each time the button is pressed, the maximum incline setting and all other incline settings of the program will increase slightly. The INCLINE ÒÐÓ button can be used in the same way to decrease the difficulty level of the program. 5 Follow your progress with the four displays. See step 6 on page 10. 6 When the program is completed, remove the key from the console. 4 Press the START/ENTER button or the SPEED Ò+Ó button to start the program. When the button is pressed, the SPEED display will flash and a tone will sound twice. If the incline of the treadmill is higher than 1.5%, it will automatically decrease to 1.5%. After a moment, the walking belt will begin to move at 1.0 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Make sure that the incline of the treadmill is set at 1.5%. Remove the key from the console. Store the key in a secure place. In addition, press the on/off switch to the off position. (See the drawing near the top of page 9.) 11
