II. SETTING UP YOUR TRE DMILL
PL CEMENT IN YOUR HOME
To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the treadmill should be placed in a
comfortable and convenient setting. This treadmill is designed to use minimal floor
space and to go nicely in your home.
 DO NOT place the treadmill outdoors.
 DO NOT place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.
 Make sure power cord is not in the path of heavy traffic.
 If your room is carpeted, check the clearance to make sure there is enough space
between the carpet fiber and the treadmill deck. If you are uncertain, it is best to
place a mat beneath your treadmill.
 Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.
 Allow a safety area of 2m X 1m behind the treadmill so that you can easily get on
and off the treadmill without getting trapped during an emergency.
Occasionally after extended use you will find a fine black dust below your treadmill.
This is normal wear and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your treadmill.
This dust can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this
dust from getting on your floor or carpet, place a mat beneath your treadmill.
LEVELING THE B SE
It is important that you place the treadmill on a firm level surface.
Check the treadmill to ensure the frame is level once you have moved the treadmill into
the position of your choice.
USE DEDIC TED CIRCUIT
The outlet selected should be a dedicated circuit. It is particularly important that NO
sensitive electrical equipments, such as computer or TV, share the same circuit.
CAUTION!
Make sure the
running deck is level
to the ground.
If the deck is
positioned on uneven
surface, it would
cause premature
damage to the
electronic system.

IV. H NDLING YOUR TRE DMILL
FOLDING THE TRE DMILL
Folding and unfolding of this treadmill is made easy with the assistance of gas shock.
After the treadmill has come to a complete stop, make sure the elevation is lowered all
the way to the ground before folding the treadmill. With caution, fold up the deck slowly
with both hands. When you hear a click, the deck is locked in place.
UNFOLDING THE TRE DMILL
Pull out the lock release on the rear by left end cap with your left hand. At the same
time, press the deck slowly with right hand. Use both hands to bring the deck slowly to
the ground. As the deck gets closer to the ground, it will drop at a faster rate and feel
heavier. Please handle with caution.
MOVING THE TRE DMILL

To move the treadmill:
1. Turn power switch off.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Make sure the deck is at 0% grade.
4. Fold the treadmill and make sure lock is engaged. You should hear a click to
indicate positive engagement.
5. Simply roll the treadmill on four wheels to the desired location.
STORING THE TRE DMILL
For safety precaution, especially when you have children in the house, we recommend
that you follow these steps to keep the treadmill out of potential harm.
1. Turn off the power switch when you have finished workout.

Owner’s Manual 11
V. OPER TING THE TRE DMILL
TURN POWER ON
The ON/OFF switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the back
of the motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.
S FETY TETHER KEY ND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall.
Therefore, the safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to an immediate stop. At
high speeds, it may be uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete
stop immediately. So, use the safety key as emergency stop only. To bring the
treadmill to a complete stop safely and comfortably, use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into the key holder
at the side of the console. The other end of the safety key should be securely clipped
to your clothing so that in case you fall, you will pull the safety key from the console,
which will stop the treadmill immediately to minimize injury. For your safety, never use
the treadmill without securing the safety key clipped to your clothing. Pull on the safety
key clip to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
GETTING ON ND OFF THE TRE DMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while
getting on or off. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the
running belt. Straddle the running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the
treadmill deck. Place your foot on the belt only after the belt has begun to move at a
consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing forward at all times. Never attempt to
turn around on the treadmill when the running belt is still moving. When you have
finished exercising, stop the treadmill by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the
treadmill comes to a complete stop before attempting to get off the treadmill .
If you feel uneasy with the speed and are not sure how to stop, hold the handlebars, lift
your feet off the running belt and place on both sides of the side landing. The side
landing is a non-moving platform and would be a good place to rest before resuming the
workout. Always remember to start at a low speed for your safety and comfort.
WARNING!
NEVER use this
treadmill without first
securing the safety
tether clip to your
clothing.
CAUTION!
For your safety, step
onto the belt when the
speed is no more
than 2 Km/H.
NEVER start the
treadmill at a running
speed and attempt to
get on while it is
moving fast.
NOTE!
The deck should NOT
be folded unless the
elevation is at 0%
grade. Attempts to
fold the deck while it
is elevated may
cause damage to the
frame.

PULSE FUNCTION
This treadmill features wireless heart rate monitoring, the most advanced technology to
date for accurate read out of your heartbeat.
To use the wireless pulse monitoring system, you must wear the heart rate transmitter
chest strap (sold separately) so that the contact surface is next to your skin directly under
your heart to pick up the pulse signals.
Please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Also note that mobile
phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around
them, which may also cause problems in heart rate measurement.
T501 is also designed to pick up heart rate information via the contact sensors located on the left
and and right hand rails.
To use the contact heart rate, place your hands gently but firmly around the contact sensors on
the hand rails. Movements in the hands may cause difficuity for the treadmill to pick up the
signal properly. When signal is picked up, the LCD show flash “HR” signal to the rate of your
heartbeat.
P USE FUNCTION

VII. EXERCISE TIPS ND GUIDELINES
STRETCH
Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related
injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Hold for a count
of 10. DO NOT bounce. Repeat the stretch exercises again after cool down will help
to loosen and relax your muscles to prevent soreness.
W RM UP
The first five minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. This warm up will
limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Warm up on the
treadmill by walking at slow speed.
COOL DOWN
NEVER stop exercising suddenly. A cool down period of about 5 minutes will allow your
heart to re-adjust to the decreased demand. Use a low speed setting during the cool
down to gradually lower your heart rate.
HOW OFTEN ?
It is most often recommended that you exercise at least three to four times a week to
maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight loss or fat loss,
you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it is three days
or six days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime
habit.
HOW LONG ?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it is recommended that you exercise for about thirty
minutes per session. Always Dial Switch slowly, especially if you have been sedentary
during the past year. In the beginning, you may begin with as little as 5 minutes per
session. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. As your body adjusts,
gradually increase your workout time per session.
If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found
to be most effective. A workout time of 45-50 minutes or more is recommended for best
weight loss results.
CAUTION!
Always consult your
physician before
beginning any
exercise program.
