5. Make sure safety cord is plugged into the treadmill.

6. Plug unit into outlet following the Grounding

Guidelines below.

GROUNDING:

This unit must be properly grounded to ensure safe operation. Should this equipment fail to perform

Exercise Guidelines

Check with your physician before beginning any type of exercise program.

People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease,

high cholesterol, any other special medical condition, are over age 35, or have led a

sedentary lifestyle should get a medical check-up and a stress test before initiating an

exercise program or routine. Medical research has shown that the optimal amount

of exercise to condition the cardio respiratory system and the muscles of the body is

between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate, as measured during a training

session.

If at any time during exercise you experience dizziness or chest pain, stop

immediately and seek medical advice.

Target Heart Rate Zone Formula:

220 minus your age multiplied by your desired Heart Rate Zone Goal (suggested by

your doctor) = your target heart rate BPM.

Do not workout at your maximum heart rate. The recommended heart rate zone is

between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down.

Warming up is an important part of your workout and should begin every session. It prepares your

body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching out your muscles. At the end of

your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscles. We suggest the following warm-up and

cool-down exercises:

HEAD ROLLS

Rotate your head to the right for ten seconds, feeling the stretch up

the left side of your neck. Next, rotate your head to the left for ten seconds.

Finally, drop your head to your chest for ten seconds.

SHOULDER LIFTS

Lift your left shoulder up toward your ear for ten seconds. Then lift

your right shoulder up for ten seconds as you lower your right shoulder.

SIDE STRETCHES

Open your arms to the side and continue lifting them until they are

over your head. Reach your right arm toward the ceiling as far

as you can for ten seconds. Feel the stretch up your right side.

Repeat this action with your left arm.

Warm Up and Cool Down

QUADRICEPS STRETCH

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind you and pull your

right foot up. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold

for ten seconds and repeat with left foot up.

INNER THIGH STRETCH

Sit with the soles of your feel together with your knees pointing

outward. Pull your feet as close to your groin as possible. Gently

push your knees toward the ﬂoor. Hold for 10 seconds.

HAMSTRING STRETCH

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward

you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach

toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for ten seconds, then relax.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: hamstrings, lower back, and groin.

CALF STRETCHES

Lean against a wall with your right leg in front of the left and your arms

forward. Keep your left leg straight and the right foot on the ﬂoor; then

Use of a PVC Treadmill Mat is highly recommended. Please make sure that your walking or running shoes are clean from

outside dirt and debris.

• Warning: To prevent electrical shock, be certain the treadmill is turned off and unplugged for cleaning or routine

maintenance.

• Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids away

and keep it out of direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• After each workout: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a damp cloth.

• Weekly: Vacuum underneath and around the treadmill once per week.

MAINTENANCE OF RUNNING DECK AND RUNNING BELT

If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 3G Cardio direct at 888-888-7985. It is very important

that proper procedures are followed speciﬁcally as written in this manual. Failure to do so may result in damage to the

treadmill and possible injury to users. Read and understand this owner’s manual before proceeding.

BELT ADJUSTMENT

All running belts are properly set at the factory but it is possible that during the “break in” period, belts may stretch or

be off-center after the initial use. Stretching is also normal during the break-in period. If you notice any belt rubbing or

burning smells, stop use immediately and call for maintenance.

Important: To tighten or align the belt, you should have the treadmill running at around 3.0 mph. If you need to adjust

the tension of the belt, be very careful to not over tighten it. You should only adjust the belt in 1/4 turn increments.

Aligning the Belt: Alignment is done with the left side bolt only. If you need to move the belt to the right, “tighten” the

(left side) bolt (turn to the right in 1/4 turns only). This will move the belt slightly to the right. If you need to align the

belt to the left, “loosen” the left side bolt (turn the bolt to the left in 1/4 turns only). This will move the belt to the left.

It can take up to 30 seconds to alter the position of the belt, so be patient.

Tightening the Belt: If your belt feels like it is slipping and needs to be tightened, adjust BOTH left and right side bolts

EVENLY in no more than 1/4 turn increments. Make a 1/4 turn adjustment on both sides and then wait 30 seconds

before reevaluating tension. If the belt is still not tight enough, repeat same step again. If you belt is not centered, please

follow the above steps ﬁrst. Remember: do not over tighten your belt!

ADJUST THE MOTOR DRIVE BELT TENSION

The 3G Cardio 80i Fold Flat Treadmill is equipped with an auto tensioner for the motor drive belt.

TREADMILL LUBRICATION:

Lubricating under the tread belt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy. Lubrication is available

from your local dealer or online. Any type of liquid high grade pure silicone is acceptable. Wipe the entire deck surface

with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove all dust and dirt.

Treadmill Maintenance

3G CARDIO

www.3GCardio.com

HOW TO CHECK RUNNING BELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the tread belt and feel the top surface of the treadmill deck. If the surface is slick to the touch, then no

further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or 30 - 40 ml of pure liquid

silicone lubricant underneath the belt, directly onto the deck.

NOTE: DO NOT over lubricate tread deck. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped off. Lubricant is

available from your place of purchase. IMPORTANT: USE ONLY 30 - 40 ml OF LUBRICANT PER APPLICATION

LUBRICATION SCHEDULE

1. After the ﬁrst 25 hours of use (1-2 months) apply 30 - 40 ml of lubricant

2. Every 60 hours of use (3-6 months) apply 30 - 40 ml of lubricant

HOW TO CHECK RUNNING BELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the tread belt and feel the top surface of the running board. If the surface is slick/smooth to the touch,

then no further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or 30 -40ml of

lubricant.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTION

This product must be grounded. Should this treadmill malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The cord on this product is equipped with an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – An improperly grounded outlet can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet you plan to use is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not ﬁt the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by

a qualiﬁed electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 15 amp 110-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated

in sketch A in following ﬁgure. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same conﬁguration as the

plug. No adapter should be used with this product nor should a means for grounding be added to the product.

Grounding method

Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and

knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualiﬁed

service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated

product must be identical to the parts they replace.
