1.2

SETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS The Life Fitness Treadmill requires a dedicated* line with isolated neutral according to the electrical configurations listed in the chart below.

* One individual branch circuit for each treadmill per NEC article 210-21 (b) (1) and 210-23 (or other appropriate, country specific electrical compliance guidelines). The hot and neutral wires must each be routed independently (not looped or tied to other circuits)" .

Note: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 20-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. Models drawing 16 amps or more must be installed on a dedicated line. IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur temporaire pour brancher cette fiche sur une prise bipolaire en Amérique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 20 A correctement mise à la terre n'est disponible, en faire installer une par un électricien qualifié. Les modèles utilisant 16 A ou plus doivent être branchés sur un circuit spécialisé. DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Any modification to the electrical plug will result in a voided warranty. Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise à la terre peut entraîner des risques de décharge électrique. Consulter un électricien si des doutes subsistent quant à la technique de mise à la terre. NE PAS MODIFIER la fiche fournie avec l'appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas à une prise, faire installer une prise correcte par un électricien qualifié. Toutemodification à la fiche annule la garantie.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL Follow all safety instructions in Section 1.1 and move the treadmill to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7 for the dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions).

SAFETY CLEARANCES The following information is supplied as regional reference data regarding safety clearances around the exterior of the treadmill. •

EU: The European EN957 Safety Standard requires a 2 meter (6.5 feet) minimum from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.

•

U.S. and other regions: The ASTM International (ASTM ) F2115 - 05 Standard recommends the minimum dimensions to be 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) on each side of the treadmill and 1 meter (3 feet) behind the rearward most portion of the usable moving surface or 2 meters (6.5 feet) behind the furthest rearward obstruction to emergency egress from the treadmill.

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To adjust, loosen the JAM NUT (A), and turn the STABILIZING LEG (B) until the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the JAM NUT. Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper operation. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level is recommended to ensure proper leveling.

POWER SWITCH Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions: "I" (one) for ON and "0" (zero) for OFF.

CENTERING THE BELT After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Power Requirements at the beginning of this section for details. Then turn the treadmill ON. Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill frame. Do not stand on the belt at this time. Press the QUICK START key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using the SPEED UP arrow. If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (C) a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration below. This action sets the striding belt tracking back to center of the roller. If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller. Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized. Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If, after one full turn, the belt does not track properly, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.

C 10

FITNESS NETWORKING The two interchangeable type RJ45 networking ports (D) are located on the back of the display console. These network ports, located behind the display console rear access door, allow the treadmill to be connected to D a fitness entertainment system and/or a fitness network such as FitLinxx®. •

Networking: The built-in networking ports allow the unit to exchange workout information with a fitness network database.

•

Fitness Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a thirdparty receiver for use with a service such as the Cardio Theater® entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system.

POWER CORD ROUTING The power cord can be run straight from the treadmill, shortened and exited out the user-front left side, or run under the frame using the power cord clips and exited out the user right-rear side of the treadmill. For efficient cord management, the following routing options are recommended: With the power cord unplugged, insert the clips in the appropriate holes. See the illustration below. Use Hole Pattern 1 or 2 to locate the clips and secure the power cord with the clips, taking up any slack between clips.

Note: It may be necessary to tip the treadmill to route the power cord properly. To plug the power cord into an outlet in front of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 1 for outlets located at the front of the machine. Note: To accommodate treadmill incline, at least two feet (24”) of power cord is required between the outlet and the last power cord clip for outlets in front of the treadmill. To plug the power cord into an outlet in rear of the treadmill, use Hole Pattern 2 for outlets located at the rear of the machine. WARNING: Make sure that there is a 6.5 foot clearance behind the treadmill. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for an optional longer power cord if necessary.

WARNING: Insure that the power cord (A) does not contact the striding belt or get pinched between the frame (C), lift arm (B) or the wheel. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury. AVERTISSEMENT : S'assurer que le cordon d'alimentation n'entre pas en contact avec le tapis et ne soit pas pincé entre le cadre, le bras de levage ou la roue. Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut provoquer de graves blessures.

Note: When using Pattern 1, it is extremely important to route the power cord BETWEEN the lift frame and the main frame.

HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®

3.1

WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® EXERCISE?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to exercise. Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription", 8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age) The Life Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise: • FAT BURN • CARDIO

• HEART RATE HILLTM • HEART RATE INTERVALTM

• EXTREME HEART RATETM

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4 The Workouts. Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program. To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate using the NUMERIC keypad. To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys. The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the LifepulseTM sensors, to enable the treadmill’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate. Theoretical Maximum 65% 80% Age Heart Rate (Fat Burn) (Cardio) 10

3.2

HEART RATE MONITORING

THE LIFEPULSETM SYSTEM To use the treadmill’s LifepulseTM system to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the ErgoTM front handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars. Contact must be maintained with all four sensors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors. Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 mph or 7.2 kph. For these speeds, the use of a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is recommended.

THE OPTIONAL POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order. See the diagram below for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them. During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is detected the maximum speed is 14 mph.

WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

The following workouts are pre-programmed for the Life Fitness Treadmill. QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins immediately. MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline level or speed at any time. RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression. HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. SPEED INTERVAL enables the user to toggle between two chosen speeds with the touch of a single button. SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training for a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, race. This is accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER workouts button. SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training for a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, race. This is accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER workouts button. PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are accessed through the PERSONAL TRAINER key. These include the pre-programmed DISTANCE GOAL, CALORIES GOAL, and TIME IN ZONE GOAL workouts, as well as up to six custom workouts, which may be programmed by a fitness club manager or other authorized staff. HEART RATE HILLTM takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. HEART RATE INTERVALTM alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. EXTREME HEART RATE TM is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (elevation), based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65%of the theoretical maximum. CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80% of the theoretical maximum. FITNESS TESTS LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4-6 weeks. ADDITIONAL FITNESS TESTS are similar to the FIT TEST workout, except these programs are based upon specific predefined protocols. The available tests are:

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The incline level is set to zero by default. Change the level using the INCLINE arrow key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired, or use the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new speed value.

MANUAL The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline level or speed at any time.

RANDOM The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.

FAT BURN The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax) for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors. If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system eliminates over-training and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel. Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.

CARDIO The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle. Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user. Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

HILL The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of illuminated LEDs, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-pace training. The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or continuously grip the LifepulseTM handles. The MESSAGE CENTER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN and the HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING programs. 1. Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. 2. Plateau increases the intensity slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase. 3. Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills alternating with valleys or stints of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase. 4. Cool Down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid and other exercise by-products which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20. 1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete all four phases adequately. The program therefore condenses a workout of this duration at various stages. 10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each. 20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.
