This Operation Manual describes the functions of the Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill.  
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 surface.  
Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before  
undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history of high blood  
pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or  
has not exercised regularly in the past year.  
If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of  
breath, he or she must stop immediately.  
Life Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical  
complet avant de commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur  
a des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il  
fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.  
Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs  
ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

1.2 SETUP  
Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill. Place the tread-  
mill where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.  
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS  
The Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill requires a non-dedicated electrical line according to the con-  
figurations listed in the chart below.  
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.  
An adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North  
America. If a properly grounded, 15-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a  
qualified electrician.  
IL EST ABSOLUMENT INTERDIT d'employer un adaptateur pour brancher cette fiche sur  
une prise bipolaire en Amérique du Nord. Si aucune prise de 15 A correctement mise à la  
terre n'est disponible, en faire installer une par un électricien qualifié.  
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 modifica-  
tion 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. Toute modification à la fiche  
annule la garantie.  
10  
 
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 7, titled Specifications, for  
the treadmill’s footprint 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 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 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 (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 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 Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in  
Section 6.6, titled How to Obtain Product Service.  
11  
 
SERVICE ACCESS PORT  
The two interchangeable type RJ45 networking ports (A) are located on the back of the display  
console. These network ports, located behind the display console rear access door, allow for  
console software updates.  
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 accomodate 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.  
12  
 
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-foot clearance behind the treadmill.  
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® EXERCISE  
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 Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill fea-  
tures five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the  
benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise:  
• FAT BURN  
• EXTREME HEART RATETM  
• HEART RATE HILLTM  
• CARDIO  
• HEART RATE INTERVALTM  
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4,  
titled 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 telemetry 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.  
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 heart rate chest strap is recommended.  
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to  
220 minus an individual’s age.  
17  
 
THE 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 chest strap that the user wears during the workout.  
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the 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 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 its most accurate heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct  
contact with bare skin. However, it will function with a slightly less accurate heart rate reading through  
a thin layer of wet clothing.  
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the 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 heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a heart  
rate chest strap is detected, the maximum speed is 12 mph.

THE WORKOUTS  
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS  
The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.  
GO SYSTEM QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the WALK/LOW, JOG/MID,  
or RUN/HIGH key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins immediately at the pre-programmed speed  
and incline for the respective key pressed. While in this MANUAL workout, the user may, at any time,  
toggle between the three pre-programmed speeds.  
MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance 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.  
PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are accessed through the PERSONAL TRAINER key. These  
include DISTANCE GOAL, CALORIES GOAL, TIME IN ZONE GOAL and SPORT TRAINING  
workouts, as well as up to six custom workouts, which may be programmed by user.  
DISTANCE GOAL is a distance based workout.  
CALORIES GOAL is a calorie expenditure based workout.  
TIME IN ZONE GOAL is a time spent at Target Heart Rate (65 percent of the theoretical  
maximum)based workout.  
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. Accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER workouts key.  
SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with vary-  
ing incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training for a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, race.  
Accessible through the PERSONAL TRAINER workouts key.  
SPORT TRAININGTM (Time) is a time-based sport training workout. Accessible through the  
PERSONAL TRAINER workouts key.  
ZONE TRAINING + Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining  
a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results.  
HEART RATE HILLTM takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart  
rate*. The user wears a 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 heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.  
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to  
220 minus an individual’s age.  
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR  
for the HEART RATE HILL workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.  
19  
 
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 heart  
rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.  
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user wears a 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  
percent of the theoretical maximum.  
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits  
and maximum fat burning. The user wears a 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 percent of the theoretical maximum.  
FITNESS TESTS  
LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor  
improvements and endurance every 4-6 weeks.  
ADDITIONAL FITNESS TESTS are similar to the FIT TEST workout, except that these pro-  
grams are based upon specific predefined protocols. The available tests are:  
ARMY PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST (PFT) - (U.S. MILITARY)  
NAVY PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT) - (U.S. MILITARY)  
MARINES PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST (PFT) - (U.S. MILITARY)  
AIR FORCE FITNESS TEST (PRT) - (U.S. MILITARY)  
GERKIN PROTOCOL - (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS)  
PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY BATTERY (PEB) - (U.S. FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT)  
4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS  
Select a workout using the Workout Selection or Go System Quick Start keys. The chart on the  
page opposite lists the steps for setting up each workout.  
Use the NUMERIC keypad to enter the values when prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER;  
or use TIME, INCLINE, or SPEED ARROW keys to scroll to desired values displayed on the  
MESSAGE CENTER. Press ENTER to confirm each selection. These entered values can be  
changed during all workouts, except for those found under the FIT TEST key.  
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's  
recommended THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. The FAT BURN workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so  
the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS  
GO SYSTEM QUICK START  
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a  
MANUAL workout begins, at a very slow speed and with the incline level is set to zero by default.  
Change the speed using the WALK, JOG or RUN key to jump to a preset speed, use the SPEED  
ARROW keys to gradually move the speed up or down as desired, or use the NUMERIC keypad to  
enter a new speed value. Change the incline level using the LOW, MID or HIGH key to jump to a  
preset incline, use the INCLINE ARROW keys to move the incline gradually up or down as desired,  
or use the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new incline value. For accurate caloric expenditure, enter  
your weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The preset speeds and inclines are as follows:  
English  
Metric  
Default  
Default Units  
Default Units  
Incline Level  
WALK

3,0 kph  
6,0 kph  
9,0 kph  
LOW  
MID  
1.5%  
3%  
RUN  
HIGH  
5%  
To redefine a preset speed, enter any non-FIT TEST workout. Press the SPEED ARROW keys  
to adjust the speed value displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER, or the INCLINE ARROW keys  
to adjust the incline value displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER. Press and hold the WALK,  
JOG, RUN, LOW, MID or HIGH key until the console beeps twice, indicating that the new speed  
has been programmed. Note that the WALK speed must be lower than the JOG speed, which  
much be lower than the RUN speed, and the LOW incline must be lower than the MID incline,  
which must be lower than the HIGH incline, or the treadmill will reject your change, signaled with  
a beep.  
NOTE: All changed preset values are preserved when the treadmill is turned off.  
NOTE: It is possible to program the WALK, JOG, and RUN speed values and LOW, MID  
and HIGH incline values in pre-programmed workouts (MY WORKOUTS) - each workout  
may have a different setting for the six Go System Quick Start keys.  
MANUAL  
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance  
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 percent of the theoretical  
maximum(HRmax) for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or  
grasps the LifepulseTM sensors. If the user is not wearing a 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- 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 be only changed by the user.  
22  
 
CARDIO  
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calcu-  
lated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum(HRmax)**. The higher target promotes cardio-  
vascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.  
NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can be only 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 exer-  
cise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of illumi-  
nated LEDs, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval  
training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improve-  
ment than steady-pace training.  
The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORK-  
OUT 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  
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
2
3
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.  
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.  
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.  
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to  
220 minus an individual’s age.  
** Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR  
for the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.  
23  
 
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.  
MY WORKOUTS  
The my workouts feature on this treadmill makes it possible to pre-set up to seven workouts with  
personal setup information, such as age and desired speed, and then store the workouts in the  
console memory. These workouts are accessed with the MY WORKOUTS key.  
Any workout can be pre-set and stored, including FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL,  
HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HR, 5K SPORT TRAINING, 10K SPORT TRAINING,  
TIME SPORT TRAINING, HILL, RANDOM, and MANUAL.

a workout has been been created for the selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays  
successive prompts to enter the weight and choose a speed. After these entries are provided,  
the workout begins.  
2) DISTANCE GOAL  
This workout is designed to build endurance. The objective is to cover a certain distance in  
miles. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool-down phase, and  
ends afterward.  
3) CALORIES GOAL  
This workout is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The objective is to burn a  
certain number of calories in the selected time duration. Once the objective is met, the workout  
automatically goes into a cool-down phase, and ends afterward.  
NOTE: When a user sets this goal with the TIME ARROW keys, the console displays the  
values in .10-mile increments.  
4) TIME IN ZONE GOAL  
The Time in Zone Goal program, a feature of Heart Rate Zone Training®, enhances FAT BURN and  
CARDIO workouts by setting a duration for staying within the target zone as the workout goal. Once  
the duration objective is met, the workout goes into a cool-down phase.  
5) SPORT TRAININGTM  
This distance-goal workout is designed for runners training for races. The program creates realistic  
terrains by setting different incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the diffi-  
culty levels selected during the workout setup. A 1.5 percent incline grade, which is the baseline  
level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running downhill. Incline  
durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the distance goal is met.  
Two Sport TrainingTM programs are available on the treadmill:  
SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, course.  
SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, course  
SPORT TRAININGTM (TIME) is a time-based training workout.  
26  
 
ZONE TRAINING +  
Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve  
maximum exercise results.  
1) HEART RATE HILLTM  
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone  
Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum†  
(HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys  
are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals:  
The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to  
75 percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate brining the heart rate to 80  
percent of HRmax. The valley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.  
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate  
goal. Once the user reaches 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the  
minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of  
HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its corresponding heart  
rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and  
repeats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a  
cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more then 45 seconds,  
the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after  
five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending  
on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart  
rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

2) HEART RATE INTERVALTM  
This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate  
Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maxi-  
mum(HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. The workout  
alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80 percent of HRmax,  
and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute  
warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached,  
the hill continues for three minutes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of  
HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The  
user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. At the  
end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the the-  
oretical maximumfor more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode.  
If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a  
prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase.  
The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

TM  
3) EXTREME HEART RATE  
This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness  
improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possi-  
ble. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the  
LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout.  
NOTE: It is recommended that users who run at speeds faster than 4.5 MPH wear the chest  
strap and do not use the LifepulseTM sensors.  
When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate and selects a walk speed and a  
jog speed. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the treadmill accelerates to the jog speed,  
and the incline increases, until the user reaches the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of the  
theoretical maximum(HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Then, the  
incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate  
falls to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program  
repeats the alternating of speeds and incline levels, continuing this pattern throughout the dura-  
tion.  
If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays  
a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley  
phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the cur-  
rent goal.

ommended THR for the EXTREME HEART RATETM WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 per-  
cent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.85 = 153.

FITNESS TESTS  
1) LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST  
The treadmill Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout  
measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six  
weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest  
strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five min-  
utes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a  
fitness score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.  
The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart sup-  
plies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from  
the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic  
capacity.  
To set up the Fit Test:  
O
Press the FIT TEST key repeatedly until the FIT TEST option appears in the message center. Press  
ENTER to select the FIT TEST option.  
O
The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or  
UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.  
O
The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the NUMERIC KEYS or  
UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.  
O
The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the UP/DOWN  
ARROW KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.  
O
The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER SPEED)(2-4.5 mph). Consult the  
following recommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender  
and activity level. Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN SPEED ARROW KEYS to enter the cor-  
responding level.  
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to  
elevate the user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate  
(220-age).

O
body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)  
O
ages below 10 or over 99 years  
O
data input that exceeds human potential  
If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the  
correct information, and pressing ENTER.  
It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is depen-  
dent on many factors, including:  
O
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)  
O
time of day  
O
time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)  
O
time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least four  
hours is recommended)  
O
time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)  
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and aver-  
age the three scores.  
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is  
60 percent to 85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the  
American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220  
minus an individual's age.

2) ADDITIONAL FITNESS TESTS  
The Life Fitness Treadmill features fitness tests based upon specific predefined protocols.  
ARMY PFT: 2.0 miles  
The U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess mus-  
cular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.  
NAVY PRT: 1.5 miles  
The running portion of the U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test is a distance goal test  
based on the time needed to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy  
and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.  
MARINES PFT: 3.0 miles  
The U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess  
muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.  
AIR FORCE PRT: 1.5 miles  
The U.S. Air Force Physical Readiness Test is a physical performance test used to assess  
muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.  
GERKIN: Submaximal VO2  
The Gerkin Protocol is a graded submaximal VO2 test used by the International  
Association of Fire Fighters to determine fitness for fire department duty.  
PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY BATTERY: 1.5 miles  
The Physical Efficiency Battery is used by U.S. Federal Law Enforcement, U.S. Federal  
Bureau of Investigation, and other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of  
federal jobs.  
Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.  
To set up one of these tests, press the FIT TEST key repeatedly, until the MESSAGE CENTER  
displays the name of the desired test. Then, press ENTER. If the selected test is either the NAVY  
or MARINES test, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a question as to whether the test is taking  
place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is 5,000 feet above sea level; and for  
the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Using the ARROW KEYS, select the  
answer “ABOVE 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “ABOVE 4,500 FEET”(MARINES) or “BELOW 5,000  
FEET”(NAVY) / “BELOW 4,500 FEET”(MARINES) by toggling between these words displayed in  
the MESSAGE CENTER. Press Enter.  
At the MESSAGE CENTER prompts, enter the weight, age, gender, and desired speed, using the  
ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. Press ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To  
ensure an accurate test score, do not change these entries once the workout begins.  
For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program  
goes into a cool-down. The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete  
the test. For less than five minutes, the cool-down is one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cool-  
down is three minutes. For longer times, the cool-down is five minutes. The user can abort the cool-  
down by pressing the STOP button or the CLEAR key. After the cool-down is aborted or completed,  
the MESSAGE CENTER displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB, Army, and  
Marines tests; or a qualititative score, such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.  
For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained  
for 15 seconds, and a converted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE CENTER during  
the workout summary.

4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL  
SELECTING A LEVEL  
The steps for setting up a HILL, RANDOM, SPORT TRAINING 5K, SPORT TRAINING 10K  
and SPORT TRAINING TIME workout include selecting a level. The word “level” refers to a  
range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest  
average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in  
the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows  
within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest  
incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is repre-  
sented by a column with all seven rows lit.  
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed  
in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline per-  
centage changes automatically to match that hill.  
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.  
USING INSTAPACETM FEEDBACK  
The InstaPaceTM Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes  
per mile, while running on the treadmill. This feature must be enabled in “User Menu”. See  
Section 5, titled “My Configuration”, for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the  
MPH and pace simultaneously when the user adjusts the treadmill speed with the ARROW  
KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-  
plays the pace after the treadmill reaches the new speed.  
USING ZEROUTTM SPEED CONTROL  
If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the  
DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum  
speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in “User Menu”. See section 5.2, titled User Menu Items, for  
more information.  
34  
 
COOL-DOWN  
Life Fitness' unique Cool-Down Protocol automatically customizes every cool-down based on  
each user's workout performance. Workout performance factors, such as speed, incline, duration,  
and heart rate, determine the duration and intensity of the cool-down.  
DIMMING  
The dimming feature controls the brightness of the treadmill console display. To change the  
default brightness setting, press the PERSONAL TRAINER key repeatedly until the MESSAGE  
CENTER displays “DIMMING,” and press ENTER. Then, use the ARROW keys to increase or  
decrease the brightness to the desired setting, and press ENTER to save the new setting; or  
press CLEAR to revert to the default brightness setting.  
If a new brightness setting is selected for a workout, that setting remains in place until it is manu-  
ally changed, or the workout concludes. When a new workout begins, the brightness reverts to  
the default setting.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA  
6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS  
The Life Fitness Treadmill is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness  
and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market  
today. Life Fitness Treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers.  
NOTE: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly  
for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or  
replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.  
REMARQUE : pour conserver un matériel sûr, il convient de l'inspecter régulièrement afin de  
déceler tout signe d'usure ou d'endommagement. N'utilisez pas l'appareil tant que les pièces  
défectueuses n'ont pas été réparées ou remplacées. Portez une attention toute particulière aux  
pièces qui s'usent, comme indiqué ci-dessous..  
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness Treadmill operating at peak  
performance:  
Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces regularly with mild soap and water or  
a mild household cleaner. Use only a soft cotton cloth. Apply cleaner to the cotton cloth  
and before cleaning.  
DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO  
NOT use paper towels, DO NOT apply cleaners directly to equipment surfaces.*  
Check operation of the emergency stop system once a week.  
Check the operation of the stop button once a week.  
Inspect and vacuum the area directly surrounding and under the unit regularly.  
Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.  
Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt, deck and line cord.  
Check to make sure the unit is properly leveled.  
Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.  
The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.5 inches (38 mm) to 2.0 inches  
(51 mm) from either side of the frame. If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see sec-  
tion 6.5, titled How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt, or contact Life Fitness Customer  
Support Services, for proper alignment instructions, 1-800-351-3737 (USA).  
*NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are  
strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment;  
use non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit. Contact Life Fitness Customer  
Support Services for more details (See Section 6.6 - “How to Obtain Product Service”).

6.5 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) without 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 1.2, 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 adjust-  
ment 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
2
Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.  
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
4
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.  
Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to contin-  
ue 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 6.6, titled How to Obtain Product Service.  
46  
 
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
5
Using the STOP button, 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 quar-  
ter turns) per side when adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.  
Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure  
proper tracking (See Section 6.5 “How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt”). If the strid-  
ing belt drifts to the left or right see the topic titled Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New  
Striding Belt on the previous page.  
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.
