1.2 SETUP Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness treadmill. Place the treadmill where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure. ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS The Life Fitness treadmill is intended for use on a normal 120-Volt electrical circuit in the United States and Canada. The following table provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE WAX BAG The wax lubrication system is a standard feature on the 91Ti model and international 90T model. Treadmills with waxers are equipped to monitor wax levels automatically. On the 91Ti, when the the wax bag is six-percent full, the console displays “NOTIFY MAINTENANCE -- WAXER NEEDS REFILL”. When the bag is empty, the treadmill shuts down, and the console displays, “NOTIFY MAINTENANCE -- WAXER EMPTY”.
Position the wax bag under the frame: Place the wax bag (F) on top of the wax tray, so that the wax bag is directly underneath the treadmill motor pan (C), the wax bag flange is facing out toward the front of the treadmill, and the wax bag hose is near the hole (G) at the bottom of the motor pan through which the hose will be fed in the next step. Connect the wax bag hose to the pump inlet hose: Cut off the end of the wax bag hose (E) one half-inch from the end.
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 An immobilized treadmill cannot be operated. The main motor, incline, and waxer are all disabled. To immobilize the 91Ti treadmill, set the display to read “SELECT WORKOUT”. Press the STOP key twice to do so if this message does not appear in the MESSAGE CENTER. Then, hold down the SPEED DOWN key, and press the STOP key.
CENTERING THE BELT After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Requirements at the beginning of this section for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON (“I”). Stand on the siderails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. Press the SPEED UP ARROW key, and increase the speed to 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).
FITNESS NETWORKING AND ENTERTAINMENT (91TI ONLY) A network port on the console of the Life Fitness treadmill allows the unit to be connected to a fitness entertainment system and/or a network, such as the FitLinxxTM interactive fitness network. • Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.
2 THE DISPLAY CONSOLE 2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW The computerized display console on the treadmill allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to monitor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.
2.2 A DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS WORKOUT PROFILE window (91Ti only): This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the incline and levels of intensity for a workout-in-progress. The height of the column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of incline and intensity.
C TIME, INCLINE, and SPEED ARROW keys (91Ti only): Press these keys to increase or decrease the workout time, the incline of the treadmill deck, or the striding belt speed. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the input data in sections located just above the keys. C TIME/WEIGHT, INCLINE, and SPEED ARROW keys (90T only): Press these keys to increase or decrease the workout time, the incline of the treadmill deck, or the striding belt speed.
2.3 EMERGENCY STOP SYSTEM A cord with a clip is attached to this magnetized key. Before starting a workout, attach the clip to clothing.

3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE 3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING 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 heart rate zone training approach to exercise. Zone training 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.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM (91TI ONLY) To use the treadmill's Lifepulse system to check the hear rate during a workout, grasp the sensors (A) on the ErgoTM bar. Maintain contact with all four sensors throughout the workout to obtain a heart rate reading. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors. It is not recommended to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH.
THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness treadmill is equipped with Polar telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against 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 optional. For information on ordering, see Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service. See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
4 THE WORKOUTS 4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness treadmill. Access them by pressing the SELECT ARROW keys. MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically. It is avaialble on the 91Ti and 90T models. On the 91Ti model, a MANUAL workout can be programmed to target certain type of goals other than the default time goal. See the topic titled Selecting an Alternate Goal Type in the following section.
SETTING UP THE WORKOUTS WITHOUT NETWORKING ENABLED (91TI ONLY) To select a workout: At the MESSAGE CENTER prompt to select a workout, press the SELECT ARROW keys repeatedly to scroll through displayed workout options. Press ENTER when the name of the desired workout appears. To enter setup information: The MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts for workout setup information, such as weight and desired speed. At each prompt, use the SELECT ARROW keys to scroll to the desired value, and press ENTER.
On the 90T model: After a new workout has been underway for 12 seconds, the left DATA DISPLAY window flashes a default weight value of 150 pounds (68 kg). Use the WEIGHT ARROW key to adjust the value to the actual weight, and then press the QUICK START key to accept the entered weight. Doing so enables the treadmill computer to calculate calories burned accurately. SELECTING A LEVEL (91TI ONLY) The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level.
3. Using the UP ARROW keys, enter the desired calorie goal value, which can range from 100 to 2000 calories. Press ENTER. 4. Using the UP ARROW keys, enter the weight. Press ENTER. 5.

1 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. 2 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. 3 Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery.
FAT BURN (91TI ONLY) The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum† for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse system sensors (91Ti only).
