See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.  
Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving sur-  
face.  
Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONG-  
LY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par-  
ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or

GETTING STARTED  
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using the treadmill.  
DANGER:  
DANGER:  
Risk of injury to persons–To avoid injury, stand on the siderails before starting treadmill.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug this Life Fitness product before cleaning or  
attempting any maintenance activity.  
DANGER:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury, it is imperative to connect each product  
to a properly grounded electrical outlet.  
WARNING:  
Keep the area six feet (two meters) by three feet (one meter) behind the treadmill clear of any  
obstructions, including walls, furniture, and other equipment.  
WARNING:  
Be sure the emergency stop lanyard is clipped to the user and in proper position on the tread-  
mill before beginning any workout.  
To disconnect, turn power OFF at the ON/OFF switch, then remove plug from electrical outlet.  
Never operate a Life Fitness product if it has a damaged power cord or electrical plug, or if it has been dropped,  
damaged, or even partially immersed in water. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services.  
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the equipment by the power cord or use the cord as a  
handle. Do not run the power cord on the floor along the side of the treadmill. Refer to Section 1.2 for proper power  
cord routing.  
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a  
similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.  
LOCATION  
Position this product so that the power cord plug is accessible to the user.  
Never operate a Life Fitness product with the air openings blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair, or any  
obstructing material.  
Do not use this product in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being adminis-  
tered. Such substances create the danger of combustion and explosion.  
Close supervision is necessary when used near children, invalids or disabled persons.  
Do not use this product outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.  
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments that have not been  
recommended by the manufacturer.

OPERATION  
Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.  
Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the  
power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer  
Support Services.  
Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.  
Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are  
recommended.  
Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use  
shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.  
Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.  
Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.  
Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional sta-  
bility is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side plat-  
forms.  
Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.  
The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the  
club manager. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW  
key presses. To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined  
time period (i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only  
PRESSED events are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence then, the sequence is  
rejected). Once the Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the  
registry, and then issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.

1.2 SETUP  
Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before begin-  
ning the setup procedure.  
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS  
The Life Fitness Treadmill requires a dedicated* line according to the elec-  
trical 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, neu-  
tral and ground wires must each be routed independently (not looped or tied to other cir-  
cuits.)".  
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 ordi-  
nances.  
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.  
DANGER: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. Toute modification à la fiche annule la garantie.

HOW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL  
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the treadmill to the location in  
which it will be used. See Section 3, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the  
product footprint (assembled dimensions.) Allow a distance of eight inches, or 21  
centimeters, between the treadmill and other units on either side. Allow a distance  
of six feet, or two meters, from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.  
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 STABI-  
LIZING 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 clock-  
wise, and then turn the left tension bolt (A) 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 quar-  
ter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller.  
Repeat these adjustments until the 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 Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 2.7, titled How to Obtain Product  
Service.  
10  
 
STRIDE SENSOR AUTO-SHUTOFF SYSTEM  
The Stride Sensor auto-shutoff system detects whether a user is on the belt/deck. If the user leaves the belt/deck during  
a workout, the system is triggered and the following message is displayed, "User not detected on belt - press “OK” to  
continue workout." If the user presses “OK” during this message the workout will continue without interruption. If the user  
does not press “OK” another message will be displayed, "User not detected on belt; RESUME WORKOUT / EXIT  
WORKOUT". At this point power to the belt will shut off as the treadmill enters Pause mode. If the user presses  
RESUME WORKOUT during the second message the workout will be resumed. If the user does not press RESUME  
WORKOUT, the treadmill will continue in Pause mode and eventually end the workout. This feature can be disabled in  
the Manager's Configuration.  
CABLE TV HOOK-UP  
Note to the CATV Installer:  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guide-  
lines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system  
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.  
NOTE: The TV aspect of the 15” LCD Console (95 Te) can only receive an analog signal. Digital cable must be external-  
ly converted to an analog signal. Life Fitness is not responsible for the installation of CATV service or components  
required for the delivery of CATV service. An external TV signal input via 75-ohm coaxial cable must be present before  
TV setup can occur.  
11  
 
POWER CORD ROUTING  
WARNING:  
Make sure the power cord is unplugged before attempting to route it around or through  
the treadmill.  
The POWER CORD (A) can be run to the user-front left or right sides. Excess POWER CORD can be bundled and tied  
to the pre-installed CLIPS (B) located under the front of the treadmill.  
The POWER CORD (A) can be run to the rear of the treadmill through the LEFT SIDERAIL (C). The POWER CORD  
should run under the LEFT UPRIGHT COVER and into the internal channel of the LEFT SIDERAIL as shown.  
NOTE: To accommodate treadmill incline, at least two feet (24”) of POWER CORD is required between the outlet and  
the last power cord CLIP (B) for outlets in front of the treadmill.  
WARNING:  
Make sure that there is a 6-foot clearance behind the treadmill. Contact Life Fitness  
Customer Service for an optional longer power cord if necessary.  
DANGER:  
Insure that the power cord (A) does not contact the striding belt or get pinched between  
the frame (D), lift arm (E) or under the wheels (F); 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.

2.4 TROUBLESHOOTING THE LIFEPULSE SYSTEM SENSORS  
If the heart rate reading is erratic or missing, do the following:  
Dry the hands if necessary to prevent slipping.  
Apply hands to all four sensors, located at the front and back of the hand grips.  
Grasp the sensors firmly.  
Apply constant pressure around the sensors.  
2.5 HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT  
Do not move treadmill or place hands under treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!  
THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS  
A 5/16-inch hex key wrench is required for this task. The Life Fitness Treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards which allow  
access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust the tracking and centering of the striding belt (A) with-  
out removing the guards.  
NOTE: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit may cause  
striding belt misalignment. See the topic titled "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the Section 1.3, titled Set Up, prior to  
attempting any rear roller adjustments.  
Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of the ROLLER  
must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an ideal belt tension at the pivot  
point.  
TRACKING (CENTERING) A STRIDING BELT  
Two people are needed to perform this procedure.  
1. Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.  
2. One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses the MANUAL workout and  
sets the belt speed to 2.5 MPH (4.0 KPH).  
3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then  
turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.  
If the striding belt has moved 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 make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.  
4. Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes at  
4.0 MPH. (6.4 KPH) to observe if tracking remains 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 Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 2.7, titled How to Obtain Product  
Service.  
TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT  
1
2
Enter the Manual workout and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).  
NOTE: DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON BELT.  
Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet  
on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it  
does not slip, the tension is correct.  
3
4
Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.  
Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side when  
adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.  
5
Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure proper tracking (See  
Section 2.5, titled How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt). If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see the  
topic titled Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt..  
Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch and  
damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.

2.6 PROACTIVE BELT WEAR NOTIFICATION  
The treadmill proactively notifies the facility manager about belt wear through diagnostics. An indicator icon is displayed  
on the treadmill console (if manager-enabled) when a belt check is required. This indicator icon is located in the lower  
left corner of the welcome screen.  
Automatic belt check reminder at 30,000 miles (48,000 km)  
Notification based on “Cannot Attain Target Speed” errors for specific user weights/speeds: (The actual error  
message is "UNABLE TO ATTAIN TARGET SPEED")  
TO CHECK FOR NOTIFICATIONS:  
To enter Belt/Deck Information, access the "System Options" menu as instructioned in section 5.1 in the Console  
User Manual. Select INFORMATION and then select BELT/DECK INFORMATION. If a notification has been trig-  
gered, the notification message "PLEASE CHECK BELT/DECK FOR SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE WEAR" will appear. If  
no notifications exist, the BELT/DECK INFORMATION area will display belt/deck information.  
NOTE: Notifications are automatically cleared once they have been displayed.
