21 Introduction: Chapter 4: Programming & Operation You are now the owner of the most sophisticated Heart Rate Control treadmill available. TRUE HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates users from rehabilitation to world class athletes, and all those in between. TRUE HRC allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate controlled workout using speed, grade or both. By training at a specific target heart rate, you can exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level. The TRUE HRC system is unique because you must enter the key parameters of your workout; target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade, and time, prior to beginning your HRC workout. As you approach you target heart rate, the treadmill s computer automatically takes over and changes the speed and/or grade automatically to keep you near your target heart rate. This gives you a completely hands free workout. Heart Rate Monitoring: TRUE s heart rate control (HRC) workouts let the treadmill monitor your relative exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and thus your desired exercise intensity. Your heart rate is a good measure of your body s exercise stress level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet and emotional state. Using heart rate to control workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings. Consult your physician before using heart rate controlled workouts for advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the treadmill for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort. A Note On Heart Rate Monitoring: The chest strap produces a FM signal that the treadmill reads and registers your heart rate. The accuracy of a reading may be affected when outside interference is present. Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring: Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, the most advanced exercise control system available. When you wear a compatible transmitter strap, the treadmill will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout. The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line. Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired. 21

22 Contact Heart Rate (chr): Chapter 4: Programming & Operation The CHR system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a strap. Gently grasp the CHR pads. During this time, the system is analyzing and locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed. A Note on CHR Accuracy: CHR monitoring may be less accurate than a chest strap, since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest. Consult your physician to determine your target heart rate Using heart rate to control workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings. Consult your physician before using heart rate controlled workouts for advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the treadmill for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort. You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use heart rate control. Monitoring is not recommended when using the contact heart rate system for heart rate control workouts. Recommendations: Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it is important to use the treadmill for several workouts in the manuals mode while monitoring your heart rate. You can monitor your heart rate during workouts by wearing the heart rate transmitter included with your treadmill. After you have spent some time learning how your heart responds to different levels of speed and grade, you will have a better understanding of how to select the maximum speed and maximum grade required to reach your target heart rate. Important: The CHR System should only be used at speeds of 4 mph or lower. Above this speed CHR accuracy is unreliable due to large muscle movements. Exercise with smooth body motions. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.) Grip the pads lightly, not tightly. Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions. When using a HRC workout, it is best to use chest strap monitoring. Heart rate based workouts work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest strap heart rate monitoring system. 22

23 Chapter 4: Programming & Operation Safety Key: This magnetized cord must be in place on the treadmill console, and should be attached to your clothing. The treadmill will not operate if the safety key is not attached. Target Heart Rate: (hrc) Instructions: Put on a compatible transmitter chest strap. Press ENTER until you reach desired program. Enter your target heart rate using numeric keys or + and keys and press ENTER Adjust time using numeric keys or + and keys and press ENTER Enter maximum speed and press ENTER Enter maximum grade and press ENTER Press START to begin program Warm up: At the beginning of an HRC workout, the treadmill is in full Manual Control mode. Gradually increase your work level to slowly raise your heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of your target heart rate. The treadmill will operate as if in manual mode during the warm up stage. You control both speed and incline. You may only increase speed and grade to the present maximum values entered. It is important that you start at a low level of perceived exertion and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target. keeping your heart rate within a few bpm of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the treadmill alternates between work and rest intervals. note: Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot for several minutes until control is achieved. Wear the heart rate transmitter, provided with your treadmill, directly against your skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non existent. Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission. At the heart rate control stage the treadmill takes control of speed and incline, keeping your heart rate within a few bpm of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the treadmill alternates between work and rest intervals. 23

24 Target Heart Rate: Continued Cool-down: Chapter 4: Programming & Operation At the end of your workout time or distance, the treadmill reduces workload by half and goes back into Manual Control mode, where you directly control your cool-down. Your treadmill can remember more than one workout setup for a heart rate control workout. You can select these in later workouts so you don t have to re-enter your workout parameters, which tend to stay the same from workout to workout. During workout setup, if you keep pressing ENTER you will continue to scroll through the workout setup parameters. You can press ENTER at any time to accept the current parameters and begin your workout. Heart rate Cruise Control: While in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by pressing the HRC CRUISE CONTROL key. Pre-Set Programs: Quick Start Workout: Quick Start a manual workout by pressing START Pressing START begins your workout. Adjust speed or incline at any time by using the dedicated SPEED and INCLINE keys Change data readouts by pressing the CHANGE DISPLAY key. Pause your workout by pressing the STOP key.

30 Chapter 5: Care & Maintenance Care & Maintenance It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described here could void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks. Inspection: Inspect the treadmill daily. Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain service. Important: If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Remove the magnetic safety key and safety clip and store it in a safe place. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service. Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing. To order parts or to contact a TRUE Authorized Service representative, please visit Cleaning the Equipment: Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the motor cover and base of the treadmill. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit s running belt, staging platforms, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible. TRUE recommends the treadmill be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt. CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the running belt. Do not clean directly underneath the treadbelt. Storing the Chest Strap: Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure to protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to temperatures below 32 F (0 C). To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel. 30

31 Chapter 5: Care & Maintenance Running Belt Alignment: Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call the TRUE Service Department. CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the running belt. Turn off the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers and any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the STOP key. Contact the TRUE Service Department. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes. The belt should be centered on the running deck. If the belt drifts off center, you must make adjustments. Important: Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray, which may not be covered under the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To stop the running belt, press the STOP key. Turn the treadmill off. Adjusting The Running Belt: If you are unsure how to adjust the running belt, call the TRUE Service Department CAUTION: For your safety, use the power switch to turn off the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit. Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display. Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using a socket wrench. If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn counterclockwise, which moves the running belt to the right. If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise; this moves the belt to the left. Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill. Recheck the alignment of the running belt by repeating the steps found above in RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT. 31

32 Chapter 5: Care & Maintenance Long Term Storage: When the treadmill is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged from the power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with people or other equipment. Treadmill Lubrication: For average use of your treadmill, TRUE recommends you lubricate under the treadbelt once per year. For heavy use, which is more than 10 hours per week, TRUE recommends lubricating every three months. The TRUE treadmill you have purchased may be designed with a premium orthopedic belt. This belt provides additional comfort and cushioning. Please note that your exercise regimen/activity may require you to lubricate the belt with approved TRUE Fitness lubrication more frequently than a traditional belt for premium performance. Please contact your dealer or visit to obtain the proper lubricants. Software Update: True Fitness may periodically release new software versions adding program functions or enhancements to your PS series treadmill, Software updates are a free service provided by True Fitness. Register your treadmills warranty at to receive notice of available software updates.. You may also call our Customer Service Department at :30am -5:00pm CST Mon. through Fri. 32
