Introduction Congratulations! You’ve made a very smart investment! Your Pro Trainer treadmill is a high-quality fitness tool that will give you years and years of fitness benefits. One of the great things about the Pro Trainer is its diversity of applications. It’s terrific for just starting out on a walking program or easy jog. In the case of a veteran runner, it’s the exact prescription needed for precision interval training to lower your 10K time.
Assembly Instructions STEP 1: Unbolt treadmill from pallet • On L7 treadmills it is necessary to remove the bolts which hold the treadmill to the pallet. • Start by removing the top bolts. • Lay the treadmill on the ground, and then remove the bottom bolts by placing the treadmill on your toolbox. • With the bolts removed, the treadmill will be free to move around in the box.
Assembly Instructions *OPTIONAL Contact Heart Rate Assembly Skip to Step 11 if treadmill has standard crossbar STEP 9: Connect contact bar • Feed the contact heart rate harness through the access hole in the inside of the left upright (insert strain relief provided). Feed harness up into the control panel. • Pull back the membrane and connect harness to white 3-pin connector on side of display board.
Getting Started Make sure you have read and understand this owner’s manual. Now you are ready to begin. Start by straddling the treadbelt with one foot on each traction strip. Press the START button. The treadbelt will begin to move at 0.5 mph. You will be asked to enter your weight (defaulting to 155 lbs.). The center display will show: Note: Your body weight is used to calculate calories burned during a workout. Press or the SPEED “+/-” keys to scroll to your body weight.
Manual Mode Upon exiting the weight input screen the treadmill enters the Manual mode. In this mode you control all of the treadmill functions. Any changes in speed or elevation will be a direct result of you touching the control panel. In the Manual mode you can view one of the 6 statistics by pressing holding or all of them by and activating the scan feature.
Running a Program The Pro Trainer has 5 built-in programs and 2 user programs. The profiles of the built-in programs are viewable on the left side of the control panel. The green blocks represent elevation changes and the white graph lines above represent speed changes. During the program setup you will input your desired workout time and speed. The software will automatically rescale the program profile to stay within your desired perimeters throughout the program.
Heart Rate Monitoring OPTIONAL The Pro Trainer treadmill offers a wireless heart rate monitoring device to give you feedback on how your body is affected by your workout. We will take a look at a few basic concepts of heart rate monitoring so you can better understand how it all works and how to maximize its use to allow you to reach the fitness level you desire. What is exercise intensity? Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are working at a given time during exercise.
Heart Rate Monitoring OPTIONAL Why should I monitor exercise intensity? Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong and efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective when you work out in a specific heart rate range or zone. This is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is reflected by the number of beats per minute your heart pumps.
Heart Rate Monitors OPTIONAL The Pro Trainer offers two separate heart rate monitoring systems: The wireless heart rate chest strap transmitter (OPTIONAL) and the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System (OPTIONAL). Heart rate monitors KEEPS YOU SAFE Exercising too hard can put you at risk for injury. A heart rate monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate intensity at which you should exercise and warns you when your workouts go too far.
AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitor™ OPTIONAL The AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™ can be used in place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following functions: • Monitor your Time in Zone • Help you maintain your Target Pulse • Maximize workout efficiency 1. Use the NEXT button to switch to one of the three screens that shows Pulse (see above). 2. Grab on to the pulse grips. 3. As soon as you put your hands on the grips a heart will beat on the display.
Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts Should you walk or run? This depends on several things such as body weight, fitness goals, and what you like to do. Walking is the safest, most compatible form of exercise for most people. If you’re just starting out, are new to exercise, or participate in aerobic activities less than three times per week, we recommend that you walk. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced runner, stick with your program — use your treadmill the way you want.
Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE Walkers: Runners: Walk 3-6 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day. Run 3-5 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day. DURING YOUR WORKOUT • Stay in the middle portion of the treadbelt. • Monitor your breathing.
Treadmill Maintenance DANGER: Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are exposed when the drive housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover be removed except by a Landice factory-authorized technician. TRACKING (pre-set from factory, but may need adjustment during installation) The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill.
Appendix A: Medrail Installation STEP 1 Insert the side rail into the upper rail clamp and tighten the bolt using a 1/2” socket. STEP 2 Fit the side rail to the bottom rail clamp. (Do not over-tighten.) STEP 3 Use a soft mallet to firmly set the rails inside the clamp. STEP 4 Use a 3/16” allen wrench to tighten the rail clamp bolts. (Return to Step 9 in Assembly Instructions).
