Next, attach the Handrail Extension by tightening two Small Screws (67) into the indicated holes. Slide the Right Foam Grip (75) as far as possible onto the post on the right Upright (69). It may be helpful to apply soapy water to the Handrail Extension (66). 75 Cutout Wires 66 Post 67 69 6 4. Refer to drawing 4a. Make sure that the tab on the Right Foam Grip (75) is inserted into the slot between the post and the Console Base (82). Refer to drawing 4b. Make sure that the front edge of the Right Foam Grip (75) is under the Console Base (82) as shown. Tighten one of the two Foam Grip Screws (33) into the side of the Right Foam Grip as shown. Note: It may be necessary to pull the Right Foam Grip outward (see arrow A) to align the Screw with the hole in the post. Attach the other Handrail Extension and the Left Foam Grip (not shown) as described in step 3 and this step. 4a 82 4b Post 75 A 82 Tab 33 75 5. Press the Lock Knob Sleeve (70) into the left Upright (69). 5 If necessary, use a rubber mallet to tap the Lock Knob Sleeve into the Upright. Make sure that the Lock Pin Collar (72) and the Spring (71) are on the Lock Pin (74). (Note: If there are two Lock Pin Collars, place one on each side of the Spring.) Insert the Lock Pin into the left Upright (69) and tighten the Lock Knob (68) onto the Lock Pin. 69 70 68 71 72 74 6. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 24). To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. 7 HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE MONITOR HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE MONITOR The chest pulse monitor 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 monitor 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 monitor should be under your clothing, 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 the areas 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 MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Thoroughly dry the chest pulse monitor after each use. The chest pulse monitor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the chest pulse monitor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse monitor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely. • Store the chest pulse monitor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the chest pulse monitor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture. • Do not expose the chest pulse monitor 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 monitor. • 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 MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse monitor is used with the console. If the chest pulse monitor does not function properly, try the steps below. • Make sure that the chest pulse monitor is under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward and be right-side-up. Note: If the chest pulse monitor does not function when positioned as described, try moving 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 near the center of the walking belt. For the console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console. • The chest pulse monitor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (p...
