FOLDING
After assembly is complete, you may fold the
machine into the upright position for storage.
To fold the machine, raise the deck until it locks
into position.
NOTE! Make sure you hear the click sound of the
deck locking into position. This is to ensure the
deck is locked in place and will not drop back
down.
NOTE! Make sure the treadmill’s elevation is at
lowest position before folding the deck. If the
elevation is not at lowest position, folding will
damage the mechanism.
TO RELEASE THE DECK
1. PUSH THE DECK UPAND FORWARD.
2. PUSH LOCKING LEVER DOWN WITH
YOUR FOOT.
NOTE! This machine has a built-in safety
unfolding feature to help the deck lower slowly.
Please make sure there are no children or other
things under the deck when you lower it.
TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, be sure the power
cord is unplugged from the wall and the treadmill.
Fold up the deck until it is locked and push the
treadmill on the transportation wheels. Hold the
handlebars to move the treadmill.
To prevent malfunction of the treadmill, store it in
a dry place with as little temperature variation as
possible, protected against dust. Always unplug
the treadmill from the electrical outlet when not in
use.

*** THE TREADMILL CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL SHUT OFF POWER
WHEN THE ELECTRIC CURRENT IS OVERLOADED.
A. Pull out the plug from the electrical socket on the front of the treadmill.
B. Push in the circuit breaker switch.
C. Insert the plug back into the electrical socket.
Note：Do not push in the circuit breaker switch before you pull out the plug from the
treadmill.

10
NOTICE :
The treadmill should be placed on a level surface. If the treadmill is not level, the
belt will continuously track to low side of the treadmill.
WALKING BELT TENSION
As walking belts tend to stretch slightly with use, the belt may occasionally need to be
tightened. If belt is too loose, you may find the belt stops while running or walking,
while the motor continues to run. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BELT. This will
cause reduced motor performance and roller damage.
When properly tensioned, you should be
able to lift the side of the belt about 2-3
inches (5-7.5 centimeters). A quick test for
belt tension: you should be able to fit three
fingers under the edge of the belt.
To tighten belt:
Using the hex key provided with the
treadmill, place it in the hole in the left rear
end cap and into the socket of the
adjustment screw. Turn one full turn
clockwise. Then place the hex key in the
hole in the right rear end cap and turn one
full turn clockwise. Check the tension of
the belt. Continue to do this until the belt is
at the correct tension. Make sure to adjust
both sides equally to ensure correct belt
alignment.

11
WALKING BELT CENTERING
The walking belt may occasionally need to be centered. First be certain that the
belt is tensioned properly. Start the treadmill and run it at about 4 mph. Place the
hex key through the hole in the left rear end cap and into the socket of the
adjustment screw. (See picture below)
1. If belt has moved too far to the right:
Turn the left adjustment screw ½ turn counter clockwise. Let the treadmill run for
30 seconds and the belt should move to the left. If it still is too far to the right, turn
the left adjustment screw an additional ½ turn. Repeat as needed.
2. If belt has moved too far to the left:
Turn the left adjustment screw ½ turn clockwise. Let the treadmill run for 30
seconds and the belt should move to the right. If it still is too far to the left, turn
the left adjustment screw an additional ½ turn. Repeat as needed.
Continue to run the treadmill 3 minutes to ensure the belt has been centered.
Make any adjustments as needed.

WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TREADMILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL
OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THE
UNIT.
CLEANING
General cleaning of the treadmill will prolong the life of the treadmill and improve
performance. Keep the unit clean by dusting regularly. Be sure to dust the exposed
part of the deck on either side of the walking belt and also the side rails.
For best performance, we recommend your treadmill be placed on a treadmill mat.
Along with reducing noise, a treadmill mat will help to keep dust and debris away from
your treadmill's critical components. Clean the top of the belt with a wet, soapy cloth.
Be careful to keep liquid away from inside the motorized treadmill frame or underneath
the belt.

13
WALKING BELT AND DECK LUBRICATION
It’s important to take good care of your treadmill deck (the walking surface underneath
the belt), because the belt/deck friction may affect the function and life of your treadmill
and requires periodic lubrication.
Your treadmill belt has been lubricated at the factory, but periodic lubrication will extend
the life of your treadmill belt, board, and electrical components. We recommend the
following lubrication schedule based on weekly usage:
LUBRICATION APPLICATION
1. Use a coin to open the tank covers on the end caps. Put ½ the lubrication bottle
that is in the spare parts box into the left tank, and ½ the lubrication in the right tank.
Replace the tank covers.
2. Start the treadmill and set the speed at 2.5 mph. Let the belt run for about 15
minutes in order to spread the lubrication on the underneath side of the belt.

BEFORE STARTING

belt while starting or stopping the treadmill. If you are a new user, stay at a slow
speed and hold onto the handrails until you become comfortable.
