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 this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge  
suppressor could result in damage to the con-  
trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-  
tem is damaged, the walking belt may change  
speed, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly,  
which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
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 and two  
feet on each side. 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.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
13. 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  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or oxygen is administered.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 350 pounds. Never allow  
more than one person on the treadmill at a time.  
16. 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.  
8. 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 ath-  
letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare  
feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.  
17. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it  
is running. Always remove the key, unplug  
the power cord, and move the reset/off circuit  
breaker to the off position when the treadmill  
is not in use. (See the drawing on page 5 for  
the location of the circuit breaker.)  
9. When connecting the power cord (see page 9),  
plug the power cord into a surge suppressor  
(not included) and plug the surge suppressor  
into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on  
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
18. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the  
treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See  
ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD  
AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 26.)  
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20  
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.  
10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that  
meets all of the specifications described on  
page 9. To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local REEBOK dealer or call the toll-free  
telephone number on the front cover of this  
manual and order part number 146148, or see  
your local electronics store.  
19. When folding or moving the treadmill, make  
sure that the storage latch is fully closed.  
3
 
20. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an  
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
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 in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
23. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the  
treadmill every three months.  
24. Never drop or insert any object into any open-  
ing.  
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. Never remove the  
motor hood unless instructed to do so by an  
authorized service representative. Servicing  
other than the procedures in this manual  
should be performed by an authorized service  
representative only.  
21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can  
manually override the speed and incline set-  
tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-  
cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”  
is heard, the speed and/or incline will change  
to the next settings of the CD or video program.  
22. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from  
your CD player or VCR when you are not  
using them.  
26. The treadmill is intended for in-home use  
only. Do not use the treadmill in any  
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
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.

ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not  
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is  
coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the  
top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill perfor-  
mance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,  
non-abrasive cleaner.  
Assembly requires the included allen wrench  
and your own phillips screwdriver  
.
For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,

TREADMILL OPERATION  
THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with  
GFCI-equipped outlets.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-  
performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-  
icone spray or other substances to the walking  
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will  
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive  
wear.  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man if you are in doubt as to whether the  
product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided with the product—if it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can  
result from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of  
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge  
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at  
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see  
your local REEBOK dealer or call the toll-free tele-  
phone number on the front cover of this manual  
and order part number 146148, or see your local  
electronics store.

Surge Suppressor  
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is  
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-  
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a  
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less  
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.  
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for  
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni-  
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate  
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a  
properly functioning surge suppressor could result  
in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If  
the control system is damaged, the walking belt  
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-  
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-  
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

In addition, the console offers ten preset programs.  
Each program automatically controls the speed and in-  
cline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-  
tive workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered.  
Each program automatically adjusts the speed and in-  
cline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a tar-  
get range while you exercise. The console even allows  
you to create your own programs and save them in  
memory for future use. Note: The heart rate programs  
require the use of the optional chest pulse sensor.  
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you  
cess programs directly from the internet. Additional op-  
tions are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for  
more information.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM  
CAUTION:  
If you have heart prob-  
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and  
have been inactive, do not use the heart rate  
programs. If you are taking medication regu-  
larly, consult your physician to find whether the  
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.  
Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.

After you have entered  
your age, the letters  
“SPd” and the maximum  
speed setting of the pro-  
gram will flash in the  
Speed display. If desired,  
press the increase and decrease buttons below  
the Speed display to adjust the maximum speed  
setting.  
Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate  
program, press the  
Program Select button  
repeatedly until one of  
the two heart rate pro-  
gram indicators lights.  
Press the Start button to start the program.  
5
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-  
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and  
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails  
and begin walking.  
The two profiles on the right side of the console  
show how the target heart rate will change during  
the programs. During heart rate program 1, your  
heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your  
estimated maximum heart rate; during heart rate  
program 2, your heart rate will reach approxi-  
mately 90% of your estimated maximum heart  
rate. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated  
by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if  
you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum  
heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 =  
190).  
Each heart rate program is divided into 30 one-  
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-  
grammed for each segment.  
During each segment, the console will regularly  
compare your heart rate to the current target heart  
rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above  
the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will  
18  
 
automatically increase or decrease to bring your  
heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the  
speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the  
program (see step 4 on page 18) and your heart  
rate is still too far below the current target heart  
rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase  
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart  
rate.  
If your pulse is not detected during the program,  
the letters “PLS” will flash in the Pulse/Pace dis-  
play, and the speed and incline of the treadmill  
may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-  
tected. If this occurs, see the instructions included  
with the optional chest pulse sensor.  
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop  
button. The Time display will begin to flash. To  
restart the program, press the Start button or the  
Speed increase button. After a moment, the walk-  
ing belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the  
the console compares your heart rate to the cur-  
rent target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of  
the treadmill may then automatically change.  
During the last three seconds of each segment, a  
series of tones will sound and the Speed display  
and the Incline display will flash.  
The program will continue until no time remains.  
The walking belt will then slow to a stop.  
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low  
at any time during the program, you can adjust the  
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,  
each time the console compares your heart rate to  
the current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-  
cline of the treadmill may automatically change to  
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart  
rate.  
Follow your progress with the displays.

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE  
HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHIONING SYSTEM  
The console features an information mode that keeps  
track of the total number of hours that the treadmill has  
been used and the total number of miles that the walk-  
ing belt has moved. The information mode also allows  
you to select miles or kilometers as the unit of mea-  
surement for speed and distance. In addition, the infor-  
mation mode allows you to turn on and turn off the  
demo mode.  
The treadmill features a cushioning system that re-  
duces the impact as you walk or run on the treadmill.  
To increase the firmness of the walking platform, slide  
the cushion handles (only the right side is shown) to-  
ward the rear of the treadmill. To decrease the firm-  
ness, slide the cushion handles toward the front of the  
treadmill. Note: Make sure that both handles are set  
at the same cushion level. The faster you run on  
the treadmill, or the more you weigh, the firmer the  
walking platform should be.  
To select the information mode, hold down the Stop  
button while inserting the key into the console. When  
the information mode is selected, the following informa-  
tion will be shown:  
Decrease  
Increase  
The Time display will show  
the total number of hours the  
treadmill has been used.  
The Distance display will  
show the total number of  
miles (or kilometers) that the  
walking belt has moved.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
An “E” for English miles or  
an “M” for metric kilometers  
will appear in the Speed dis-  
play. Press the Speed in-  
crease button to change the  
unit of measurement.  
An optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free  
operation as it continuously monitors your heart rate.  
To purchase the optional chest pulse sensor, call  
the toll-free telephone number on the front cover  
of this manual.  
IMPORTANT: The Calories  
display should be blank. If  
a “d” appears in the display,  
the console is in the “demo”  
mode. This mode is intended  
to be used only when a  
treadmill is displayed in a store. When the console is in  
the demo mode, the power cord can be plugged in, the  
key can be removed from the console, and the displays  
and indicators on the console will automatically light in  
a preset sequence, although the buttons on the console  
will not operate. If a “d” appears in the Calories dis-  
play when the information mode is selected, press  
the Speed – button so the display is blank.  
To exit the information mode, remove the key from the  
console.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and  
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor  
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 9). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor  
that meets all of the specifications described on page 9. Important: The treadmill is not compatible  
with GFCI-equipped outlets.  
b. Make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.  
c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the frame near the  
c
power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has  
tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then  
press the switch back in.  
Off  
Reset  
PROBLEM: The power turns off during use  
SOLUTION: a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker (see 1. c. above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five  
minutes and then press the switch back in.  
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for  
five minutes, and then plug it back in.  
c. Remove the key from the console and then reinsert it.  
d. If the treadmill still will not run, see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly  
SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE  
a
POWER CORD. Next, remove the Screws (63) from the  
63  
Hood (65) and carefully remove the Hood.

b. Locate the Reed Switch (42) and the Magnet (24) on the  
b
left side of the Pulley (40). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet  
1/8”  
is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that the gap  
between the Magnet and the Reed Switch is about  
1/8”. If necessary, use a slotted screwdriver to move the  
Reed Switch slightly. Reattach the hood and run the tread-  
mill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 9.  
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-  
b
3–4”  
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be  
permanently damaged. Remove the key and UN-  
PLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the included allen  
wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counter-  
clockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is prop-  
erly tightened, you should be able to lift the edges of  
the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform.  
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in  
the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill  
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is  
properly tightened.  
Rear Roller Adjustment Bolts  
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.  
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on  
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key  
a
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking  
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to  
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if  
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the  
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to  
overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,  
insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.  
Repeat until the walking belt is centered.  
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove  
b
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using  
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise  
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-  
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-  
ing belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be  
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the  
power cord, insert the key, and walk on the treadmill  
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is  
properly tightened.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-  
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in  
your training zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for individu-  
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-  
existing health problems.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
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.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-  
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes  
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-  
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-  
tion in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your  
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few  
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your  
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never  
hold your breath.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to  
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers define your “train-  
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the  
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-  
ercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the  
handgrip pulse sensor.  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-  
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-  
plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key  
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable  
part of your everyday life.  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively  
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-
