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 equip-  
ment. 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.  
A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly  
grounded, 12 AMP outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.  
DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check  
with a qualified electrician if in doubt about proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the prod-  
uct. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
DANGER: Tout branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise à la terre de l'appareil peut causer un risque de  
décharge électrique. Consulter un électricien qualifié en cas de doute sur la technique de mise à la masse. NE PAS  
modifier la fiche de l'appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas sur une prise électrique, faire installer une prise correcte par un  
électricien qualifié.  
HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL  
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 the striding belt misalignment.

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.  
IMMOBILIZING THE TREADMILL  
The treadmill can be immobilized if necessary as follows: If the MESSAGE CENTER does not display "SELECT A  
WORKOUT", press the STOP key twice until that prompt appears. Then, press and hold down the SPEED DOWN key  
and press the STOP key. The MESSAGE CENTER displays "IMMOBILIZED". The immobilized treadmill cannot be oper-  
ated, and it remains in this state across resets, power cycles, etc. The main motor and incline are disabled. To restore  
normal operation, repeat the same key sequence: Press and hold down the SPEED DOWN key, and press the STOP  
key. The MESSAGE CENTER displays SELECT A WORKOUT, indicating that the treadmill is ready for use.  
10  
 
CENTERING THE BELT  
After the treadmill has been installed and leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, plug the  
power cord into a suitable outlet. See the topic titled Electrical Requirements, which appears earlier in this section, for  
details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.  
Stand on the siderails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. Press the GO SYSTEM-QUICK START key and increase the  
speed to 4.0-mph (6.4 kph) using the SPEED UP ARROW key.  
If the striding belt moves to the right, turn the right tension bolt (A) a quarter-turn clockwise with provided quarter-inch  
Allen wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise (see figure). This sets the striding belt  
tracking back to the 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 striding belt tracking back to the center of the roller.  
Repeat adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. The belt should be  
centered on the roller with an equal distance (B) on both sides from belt to roller.  
Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes to observe if the  
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 6.4, titled How to Obtain  
Product Service.

HEARTSYNC EXERCISE  
3.1 WHY HEARTSYNCTM 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 HeartSync approach to exercise.  
HeartSync identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.  
The values within the zone depend on the workout. The Life Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed  
to take full advantage of the benefits of HeartSync exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILLTM, HEART RATE  
INTERVALTM, and EXTREME HEART RATETM. 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.  
Heart Rate Interval  
All HeartSync workouts measure heart rate. Wear a telemetry chest strap 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

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING  
®
THE POLAR HEART RATE CHEST STRAP  
The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed  
against the 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. The chest strap is standard with the treadmill.  
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 receiv-  
er. 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 an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin.  
However, it functions properly 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 moisten them.

THE WORKOUTS  
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS  
The following workouts are pre-programmed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.  
GO SYSTEM-QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a  
specific workout program. Press the WALK, JOG, or RUN key to begin a MANUAL workout at a preset speed.  
HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of  
lower-intensity exercise.  
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or pro-  
gression.  
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.  
EZ INCLINE is an incline-based workout. The gradual changes in elevation are extremely subtle, lowering perceived  
exertion.  
SPORT TRAININGTM simulates outdoor conditions that a runner would experience.  
5K SPORT TRAININGTM simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training  
for a 5-kilometer (3.1-mile), race.  
10K SPORT TRAININGTM simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in train-  
ing for a 10-kilometer, (6.2-mile), race.  
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body's fat reserves. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap.  
The workout program automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the recom-  
mended rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.  
18  
 
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning.  
The user must wear a heart rate chest strap. The workout program automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the  
actual heart rate, to maintain the recommended rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.  
HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different intensity levels based on the target heart rate*. The user must  
wear a heart rate chest strap.  
HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between two intensity levels based on the target heart rate. The user must wear a  
heart rate chest strap.  
EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to bring the heart rate up and  
down as quickly as possible. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap.  
T3-5 Only:  
30-MINUTE WALK is ideal for beginning exercisers or regular walkers.  
3-MILE JOG is an ideal next step for users who no longer derive a sufficient workout from the 30-minute walk pro-  
gram.

NOTE: All changed preset values are lost when the treadmill is turned off.  
22  
 
HILL  
The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of  
intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window  
represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys.  
The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory  
improvement than steady-pace training.  
The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE win-  
dow 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 the chest strap.  
1
2
3
4
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.  
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-prod-  
ucts, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.  
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.  
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.  
24  
 
RANDOM  
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ-  
ent patterns are possible.  
MANUAL  
During a MANUAL workout, the program does not automatically change speed, incline, or time duration, as selected by  
the user during the workout setup. The user can increase or lower these values, using the ARROW keys.  
EZ INCLINE WORKOUTTM  
In this incline-based workout, the gradual changes in elevation are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion. The  
cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time.  
0% Time  
75% Time  
100% Time  
EZ Incline Workout Profile  
The program consists of one hill. The user determines the elevation of the peak during the setup. This peak is reached  
after 75 percent of the workout is completed. Afterward, the incline gradually returns to zero percent.  
NOTE: For workouts that are longer than 16 minutes, the level can be changed to any desired value. For workouts that  
are shorter than 16 minutes, the the level selection is limited.  
25  
 
SPORT TRAINING WORKOUTTM  
This program simulates outdoor conditions that a runner would experience. The baseline level is a 1.5-percent grade,  
which simulates running on flat ground. A zero-percent grade simulates running downhill. Inclines last between 30 and  
60 seconds.  
5K SPORT TRAINING WORKOUTTM  
This program simulates conditions that a runner would experience when training for a 5-kilometer race. The workout  
ends after the user completes 5 kilometers (3.1 miles).  
10K SPORT TRAINING WORKOUTTM  
This program simulates conditions that a runner would experience when training for a 10-kilometer race. The workout  
ends after the user completes 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).  
HEARTSYNCTM + WORKOUTS  
During the setup for each of these workouts, the treadmill computer calculates a target heart rate* based on age and the  
workout type. The MESSAGE CENTER displays this target rate and prompts the user to accept or change it. The work-  
out program uses this value as the upper heart rate within the target zone. The computer then calculates the lower value  
of the zone, based, again, on the selected program. The user wears a chest strap throughout the workout, enabling the  
computer to track the length of time spent in the target zone. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum† for  
more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. HeartSync workouts include: FAT BURN,  
CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE.  
26  
 
FAT BURN  
This workout is designed to maintain a recommended target heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum† for  
optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap. 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.  
CARDIO  
This is a higher-intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. It is  
virtually identical to FAT BURN, except that the recommended target heart rate is calculated at 80% of a theoretical max-  
imum to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle.  
NOTE: Change the target heart rate at any time during a workout by using the ARROW keys.  
27  
 
HEART RATE HILLTM  
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with a HeartSync workout. It consists of three hills that target three heart  
rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 90 percent of the target rate. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The  
third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target.  
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reaches 90  
percent of the target heart rate, the hill continues for one minute. Then, the goal switches to 85 percent of the target heart rate. When  
the user's heart rate falls to that goal, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the goal switches to 95 percent of the target heart  
rate. When the user reaches that goal, the hill continues for one minute. As the chart at the top of the following page illustrates, this  
pattern continues for all three hills. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and heart rate  
goal, and the sequence repeats as long as the duration allows. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys  
encountered. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase.  
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.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. 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.  
28  
 
HEART RATE INTERVALTM  
This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with a HeartSync workout. It alternates between a hill,  
which brings the heart rate up to the target rate*, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the tar-  
get. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. When the  
goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes. Then, the goal switches to 90 percent of the target heart rate. When  
the user's heart rate falls to that goal, the valley continues for three minutes. Then, the program switches back to the tar-  
get heart rate goal. This pattern continues throughout the duration. The user's fitness level determines the number of  
hills and valleys encountered. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase.  
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.

workout is 144. The HEART RATE INTERVAL workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.  
29  
 
EXTREME HEART RATETM  
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 possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints.  
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.  
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 75 percent goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alter-  
nating of speeds and incline levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration. The user's fitness level determines the number of  
repetitions. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase.  
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.

4.6 SELECTING AN INTENSITY LEVEL  
The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM 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 PRO-  
FILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline per-  
centage. 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 represented by a column with all seven rows lit.  
38  
 
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout  
description in Section 4. It is possible to change the incline percentage manually, but the change remains in effect only  
for the duration of the hill in question. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes  
automatically to match that hill.  
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys.  
During the EZ INCLINE workout, the number of the selected level equals the height of the hill, expressed as an incline  
percentage. For example, at Level 5, the peak of the hill is at a 5.0%.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA  
6.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS  
The Life Fitness T3-0 and T3-5 treadmills 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. Commercial Life Fitness  
treadmills are among the most popular of aerobic trainers, regularly standing up to marathon use - 18 hours a day, 7  
days a week - in health clubs, colleges and military facilities the world over. This same technology, engineering expert-  
ise, and reliability has gone into the Life Fitness T-Series treadmills.  
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 sub-  
ject to wear, as outlined below.  
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.  
DO NOT use paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. *  
Check operation of the Emergency Stop System once a week.  
Check the operation of the Stop key once a week.  
Inspect and vacuum the area under unit regularly.  
Vacuum around the striding belt regularly to keep debris from accumulating.  
Inspect exterior parts regularly for wear, particularly the striding belt and deck.  
Check the position (centering) of the striding belt.  
44  
 
The optimum operating position of the striding belt is from 1.75" (45 mm) to 2.25" (57 mm) from either side of the frame.  
If the striding belt travels beyond this position, see How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt or contact Life Fitness  
Customer Support Services for proper alignment instructions, 1-800-328-9714 (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.  
6.2 TROUBLESHOOTING THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP  
HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR ABSENT ENTIRELY  
Repeat the electrode wetting procedure (see How to Use the Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap). The electrodes must  
be wet to pick up and transmit accurate heart rate readings.  
Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.  
Wash the belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.  
Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (one meter) of the heart rate receiver.  
The chest strap is battery operated and will eventually stop functioning. If the chest strap transmitter battery is deplet-  
ed, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-328-9714 for instructions on how to have the chest strap  
replaced.  
HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR EXTREMELY HIGH  
When exercising with the heart rate chest strap, you may come within range of electromagnetic signals strong enough to  
cause abnormally elevated heart rate readings. Possible sources of such signals include:  
Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, and other motor driven  
equipment.  
Another heart rate transmitter within three feet (one meter) may also cause abnormal heart rate readings.  
45  
 
6.3 HOW TO ADJUST AND TENSION THE STRIDING BELT ON THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL  
Do not move treadmill or place hands under treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!  
Tool required: 5/16" hex key wrench  
THE BELT TENSIONING BOLTS  
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 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 "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the "Set Up" section 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.  
46  
 
TRACKING (CENTERING) AN EXISTING OR NEW STRIDING BELT  
1
2
Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.  
Stand on the sides of the treadmill and straddle the belt, not standing on it. Enter the MANUAL Workout and set the  
belt speed to run at 4.0 mph (6,4 kph).  
3
4
If the striding belt has moved to the right, turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise with provided ¼" Allen  
wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to center of  
roller.  
If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and then turn the right tension  
bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to center of roller. Repeat adjustments until striding  
belt appears centered. Allow machine to continue running for several minutes to observe if tracking remains stabi-  
lized.  
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 "How to Obtain Product Service."  
TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT  
Under normal usage, the treadmill striding belt may stretch slightly. If the belt starts to slip during use, take the steps list-  
ed below to correct the tension.  
1
2
Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill.  
Turn the belt tensioning bolts clockwise a quarter-turn per side to tension the belt. Do not exceed one full turn (four  
quarter-turns per side).  
3
Set the treadmill at 2.0-mph (3,2 kph) and check proper tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see  
Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt on the preceding page.  
NOTE: 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.
