ex ercise program going despite bad weather, early nightfalls, or an ever
increasingly busy schedule.
Below are some of the advantages of having a Johnson Treadmill in your
gym:
¡·Ex ercise is not weather dependent.
¡·You can exercise before or af ter work when it might be dark.
¡·You can do multiple activities such as watching TV, or listening to your
favorite music.

PART 4 - MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
¡·Remove dust with a vacuum or slightly damp cloth.
¡·Never use solvents on the deck or belt. Use of solvents can reduce critical
lubrication of deck and belt.
CENTERING THE BELT
Your Johnson Treadmill is built with a crowned roller to assure proper
tracking of the belt on the center of the deck.
When you run or walk, you may push off harder with one foot than the
other. This uneven deflection can cause the belt to move off center.
Occasionally the belt may need further adjustment to keep it centered. To
center the belt, use the enclosed Allen wrench to adjust the rear roller
position.
Centering Belt P rocedure:
1)Do not wear loose clothing, or loose jewelr y while making this
adjustment.
2)Never turn the bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
3)Always tighten one side and loosen the other to prevent over tightening
or loosing the belt.
4)Select manual program and press start. Adjust belt speed using console
keys to 4 mph (6.4 kph)
After making the adjustment walk on it for 5 minutes to test. If necessar y,
repeat the procedure but never turn the bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
Over tightening the belt can significantly shorten the belt life.

18
If Belt is too far to the lef t side:
1)Turn the lef t roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)
2)Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)
If Belt is too far to the right side:
1)Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwose (tighten)
2)Turn the lef t roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

19
TENSIONING THE BELT
Running Belt
If when you plant your foot on the belt, you can feel a slipping sensation
then the belt has stretched and is slipping across the rollers. This is a nor -
mal and common adjustment on a new treadmill. To eliminate this slip -
ping, tension both the rear roller. Allen bolts 1/4 TURN as shown above. Try
the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessar y, but NEVER
TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. C AUTION: OVER-TIGHT-
ENING OF THE ROLLER WILL SEVERELY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BELT
AND MAYCAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS.
Drive Belt
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing
a slipping sensation, call your Johnson Dealer.Tensioning
of the drive belt should only be per formed by an authorized
dealer.

PART 5 - DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRA M
Before using your Johnson Treadmill, it is best to spend a few minutes
doing a few gentle stretching exercise. Stretching prior to ex ercise will
imporve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injur y. Ease into
each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.
WallPush
Stand 1 1/2 feet from a wall and lean for ward pushing against the wall with
your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 10.
Do not bounce.
Standing Quadriceps Stretch
Using a wall or chair to provide balance, grab your lef t ankle with your lef t
hand and hold your foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 10.
Repeat with your right foot and hand.
Seated Toe Touch
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towords your toes and hold for a
count of 10. Do not bounce.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
Warm Up
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a work out should be devoted to warming
up. The warm up will limber your muscles and prepare them
for more strenuous exercise. Warm up on your Johnson
Treadmill by walking at slow speeds.
Cool Down
Never Stop exercising suddenly! A cool down period allows your
heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Use a low speed setting
during the cool down to gradually lower your heart rate.
After the cool down, repeat the stretching exercises decsribed at
