IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY BREAKER
This model is equipped with an electronic circuit breaker to protect both the electronic and
electrical circuits. Figure B.
The circuit breaker will be automatically triggered if the unit is subjected to abnormal force or
heat.
Should this occur:
1. Set switch (L) located on the main body to the “0” (OFF) position.
2. Press the circuit button (C) to reset the unit.
3. Next set switch (L) to the “I” (ON) position and the unit will be ready for use again.
Should the circuit breaker trip repeatedly then the most probable causes are:
-Abnormal working conditions
-Treadmill belt in need of lubricant
-Solvent based lubricants used (use BH type)
-Belt is too tight.
Plug the unit into a dedicated 110-120V 15 or 20 Amp circuit with a ground terminal. Set switch
(L) to the “I” (ON) position.

front and on each side of the treadmill plus 24 inches at the rear of the treadmill.
NOTE: Safe movement of the treadmills is explained in the MAINTENANCE section of this
manual.

MAINTENANCE
LEVELING
Once the unit has been placed into its final position for doing exercise make sure that the
treadmill sits flat on the floor and that it is level. This can be achieved by doing the following:
A) - Switch the treadmill on to see if the console shows that the treadmill is at zero inclination
level.
B) – Once you have checked the inclination place a spirit level on the running belt
.
MOVEMENT & STORAGE
NOTE: Lift and roll the treadmill using two people.
NOTE: To prevent accidents DO NOT move the treadmill across uneven floors.
The treadmill is easier to roll if the incline is higher than zero. Unplug the power cord prior to
moving the treadmill. To move the treadmill tilt the treadmill so that the front wheels rest on
the floor.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Figure 7. Use the bottle of lubricant (h) to lubricate the inside of the belt in order to keep your
unit in top condition and to ensure that friction between the belt and the board is kept to a
minimum (due to different running styles always apply more lubrication to the area where you
place your feet during the exercise). It is advisable to lubricate the base of the belt every 3-12
months depending on how often it is used.
If the belt starts to slip after lubrication then check the tension of the belt. To tension the belt
Figure 8 take the Allen key (m) and with the machine set to 2.5 miles/hr (4 km/h) turn screws
(R & L) one full turn in a clockwise direction.

MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING THE BELT
If your unit is not seated evenly on the four contact points this may cause the belt shown on
Figure 8 area (X) to shift sideways. Rigorous quality control adjusts and checks the running
belt. However due to weight differences and individual styles of running the belt may be prone
to shift sideways.
If the belt does shift to the left or right stop the machine and adjust the belt.
NOTE: Over tightening of the belt can lead to a loss of speed on the machine and even stretch
the belt itself. Bear In mind that one turn of the right screw (R) in a clockwise direction has the
same effect on the position of the belt as one turn of the left screw (L) in a counterclockwise
direction. Consequently in the event of excessive belt movement you can use either of the two
screws in order to avoid over tightening the belt.
BELT SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT (Figure 8)
1. Turn off and unplug the treadmill each time before using the hex wrench.
2. Use the hex wrench to turn the right hexagonal head socket a 1/4 turn clockwise.
3. Turn on treadmill for a few minutes at a speed of 2.5 mph (4 km/h) and check belt location.
4. If the belt is not centered then turn the left hexagonal head socket a 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
5. If the belt is not centered then repeat steps.
BELT SHIFTED TO THE LEFT (Figure 8)
1. Turn off and unplug the treadmill each time before using the hex wrench.
2. Use the hex wrench to turn the left hexagonal head socket a 1/4 turn clockwise.
3. Turn on treadmill for a few minutes at a speed of 2.5 mph (4 km/h) and check belt location.
4. If the belt is not centered then turn the right hexagonal head socket a 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
5. If the belt is not centered then repeat steps.
TREADMILL CLEANING
Switch the unit off and unplug the power cable. Use a damp cloth or towel to clean the dust off
the treadmill especially the side bars and the electronic console. Do not use solvents.
NOTE: Unplug the treadmill before using a vacuum near the treadmill.
Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully vacuum around the visible components (belt structure
etc.). You can increase the INCLINE in order to vacuum the underside of the unit. You can
vacuum the inside of the motor housing by removing the cover that protects the motor (be
careful with the wires).
NOTE: Press STOP to lower the INCLINE.

FITNESS AND EXERCISE
FITNESS
All doctors agree that regular exercise is a good way to control our weight make us more fit
and help us to relax. Before starting any exercise program it is advisable to consult your
doctor. You will achieve better results based on his/her advice or suggestions. Exercise
programs vary depending on age and physical condition.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE
Regular exercise below a certain level for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic. Aerobic exercise is
basically exercise that uses oxygen. Normally this is a continuous exercise without pauses. In
addition to sugars and fats the body also needs oxygen. Regular exercise improves the body’s
ability to supply oxygen to all of the muscles and at the same time improve lung function the
heart’s pumping capacity and better blood circulation. In short the energy produced during
exercise burns kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT CONTROL
The food we eat is transformed into among other things energy (calories) for our body. If we
take in more calories than we burn then the result is an increase in weight and vice versa if we
burn more calories than we eat we lose weight. When resting the body burns around 70
calories per hour to keep our vital functions active. The table shows approximate energy use
for an average person doing various activities.
Table II
ACTIVITY CALORIES USED PER HOUR
Walking moderate pace 140
Housework 150
Swimming (400 m/h) 300
Dancing 350
Walking brisk (6 km/h) 370
Tennis 420
Cycling (30 km/h) 500
Squash 690
EXERCISE PROGRAM
Regardless of whether your goal is to become more fit control your weight or for
physiotherapy always remember that your exercise should be gradual planned varied and
not too demanding. We recommend that you should exercise 3 to 5 times per week.
Before beginning a session it is important to do a warm-up for 2-3 minutes at low speed. This
will help protect your muscles and prepare your cardio respiratory system.
The next stage will last 15-20 minutes at a pulse rate of between 65 to 75% or between 75 to
85% for those already accustomed to exercise. At a later stage once we have become fit we
can divide this time between both levels but always remembering that the pulse rate must not
exceed 85% (aerobic area) and never reach the maximum heart rate limit that corresponds to
our age.

FITNESS AND EXERCISE
When you have finished it is important to relax the muscles. This can be done by walking at a
low speed for 2-3 minutes until the heart rate drops below the 65% line. This will prevent
muscle pain especially after an intense session. It is also advisable to finish the program with
some relaxation exercises on the floor.
FINAL NOTE
We hope that you enjoy your unit. You will soon notice the benefits of your controlled exercise
program. You will feel better have more energy and suffer less stress. You will see for yourself
that it is worth staying in shape with BH Fitness.
