first remove "Safety Key" and unplug equipment from AC power source. Using M6
Allen wrench provided, turn left rear roller adjustment as indicated below clockwise no
more the 1/4" of a turn. Remove M6 Allen wrench, insert "Safety Key" and insert AC
power cord into AC outlet. Turn on your treadmill and observe after running a few
minutes to see if problem has been corrected. This may take several adjustments, so
repeat the above procedure.

15
Your treadmill should require little maintenance other then periodically applying lubricant.
Lubricating under the treadbelt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy.
HOW TO CHECK TREADBELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION?
Lift one side of the treadbelt and feel the top surface of the treadboard.
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 half of the bottle of lubricant.
HOW TO APPLY LUBRICANT?
1. Lift one side of treadbelt.
2. Pour one half of the lubricant bottle under the center of the treadbelt on the top surface of the
treadboard.
3. Walk on the treadmill at a slow speed for 3 to 5 minutes to evenly distribute lubricant.
NOTE: DO NOT over lubricate treadboard. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped
off.
IMPORTANT: ONLY USE HALF THE BOTTLE OF LUBRICANT PER APPLICATION
LUBRICATION SCHEDULE.
1. If it’s necessary, it’s better to lubricate half a bottle when user open carton to use at first time.
2. We suggest if user doesn’t apply lubricant at first time, after the first 25 hours of use
(2-3 months ) need to apply one half bottle of lubricant.
3. Every 180 hours or 1000 km of use apply one half bottle of lubricant per exact situation.

AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle.
Aerobic exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle -arms, legs, or buttock,
for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should
be part of your entire exercise routine.
WEIGHT TRAINING
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can
store, weight training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone,
build and strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a less
amount of reps. And as always ,consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
