Make sure to connect the connectors properly (see the inset drawing). The connectors should slide together easily and snap into place. If the connectors do not slide together easily and snap into place, turn one connector and then try again. IF THE CONNECTORS ARE NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, THE CONSOLE MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN THE POWER IS TURNED ON. Then, insert the Wire Harnesses down into the Handrail (20). 78 77 Console Assembly 6 77 78 20 3 3 Pin Spring Collar Knob 73 10 13 Large Hole 13 13, 14 20 58 14 Top View 9 65 Console Assembly 3 3 3 20 83 3 Pin Spring Collar Knob 73 10 13 Large Hole 13 13, 14 20 58 14 Top View 9 65 Console Assembly 3 3 3 20 8 8. Hand tighten four additional Screws (3) into the Handrail (20) and the console assembly. Then, tighten all nine Screws used in step 7 and this step; do not overtighten the Screws. 9. Lower the Uprights (13, 14) until the Handrail (20) is touching the floor. See the lower drawing. Position the Uprights (13, 14) so the Frame (58) is centered between them. See the upper drawing. Firmly tighten the four Upright Bolts (65). Then, raise the Uprights (13, 14) back to the vertical position. 10. Attach the Latch Housing (73) to the Left Upright (13) with two Screws (3); start both Screws and then tighten them. Make sure that the large hole in the Latch Housing is on the indicated side. Remove the knob from the pin. Make sure that the collar and the spring are on the pin. (Note: If there are two collars, place one on each side of the spring.) Next, insert the pin into the Latch Housing (73). Then, tighten the knob back onto the pin. Before operating the treadmill, plug in the power cord (see page 11), and then lower the treadmill to the lowest incline level (see page 13). 11. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the treadmill decals, remove the plastic. To protect the floor or carpet, place a mat under the treadmill. Note: Extra hardware may be included. Keep the included allen wrench in a secure place; the large allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 23). 9 HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the sensor unit. Chest Strap Tabs Sensor Unit Tab Sensor Unit Buckle Next, wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up. Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side (the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges). Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest. CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely. • Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture. • Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius). • Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor. • Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried. CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below. • Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest. • Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas. • As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself ...
