6. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important
especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect
the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress.
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your
muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily
activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot
fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.
Warm-up
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases
your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
Training Zone Exercise

13
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for
maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
Cool Down
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to
cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.
Workout Guidelines
TARGET ZONE
This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up
and cool down for a few minutes.
The most important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more
calories you will burn.

7. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the life time of this unit. Performance is maximized
when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.
WARNING: THE MAT/DECK FRICTION MAY PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE FUNCTION AND LIFE OF
YOUR TREADMILL AND THAT IS WHY WE RECOMMEND YOU CONSTANTLY LUBRICATE THIS
FRICTION POINT TO PROLONG THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL. FAILING TO DO THIS MAY
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
WARNING: UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: STOP TREADMILL BEFORE FOLDING
1. General Cleaning
•Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild
soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task
should be done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
•On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should
remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.
2. General Care
•Check parts for wear before use.
•Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.
•Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
•If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact us.
TAKE CARE TO PROTECT CARPETS AND FLOOR in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains
moving parts which have been greased / lubricated and could leak.

15
3. Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication
This treadmill is equipped with a self-lubrication tub. The belt friction may play a major role in the function and
life of your treadmill, thus requiring periodic lubrication. We recommend a periodic inspection of the deck. You
will need to contact our service centre if you find damage on the belt.
We recommend that lubricate the deck according to the following timetable:
Light user (less than 3 hours/ week): Annually
Medium user (3-5 hours/ week): Every six months
Heavy user (more than 5 hours/ week): Every three months
We recommend that you buy the lubrication from our distributor or directly to our company.
Attention: Repairs need to be completed by a professional technician.
1. How to check the running mat for proper lubrication:
1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the underside surface of the running belt.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend that you use a silicone-based spray to lubricate your Lifespan treadmill. This can be
purchased directly from us or any hardware store.

5. Adjusting the Running Belt
Place treadmill on a level surface. Run treadmill
at approximately 4km/h, checking the running
condition.
If the belt has drifted to the right:
Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h,
carefully turn the right adjusting bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise. Then monitor treadmill until the belt
centers. Repeat until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture A
If you have over adjusted the belt and it drifts to
the right, carefully turn the right adjusting bolt
anticlockwise until the belt centers.
If the belt has drifted to the left:
Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h,
carefully turn the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise. Then monitor treadmill until the belt
centers. Repeat until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture B
If you have over adjusted it, carefully turn the
left adjusting bolt anticlockwise and until the
belt centers.
To adjust the tightness of the belt:
Turn the treadmill off. Turn both the left and right
adjusting bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until
the belt correctly tightens.
See Picture C
If the belt is over tightened, simply do the
opposite to loosen.

17
6. Replacing Motor Brushes
After extended use, the motor brushes in your treadmill motor will wear down, and this can lead to motor failure.
It is important that you maintain your motor by replacing the brushes on either side of the motor when they are
worn down. We recommend that you check your motor every 1000 hours of usage.
IMPORTANT: Before beginning the replacement of your motor brush, ensure that the treadmill is off and
unplugged from the electrical socket.
NOTE: When properly tightened, you should be able to peel the very edge of the side of the belt up approximately
2 inches. However this is a rough reference and not all treadmills are the same. Some treadmills that have longer
belts may give different measurements for correct belt tightness.
Simply, if the belt begins to slip during use, this is an indication that the belt still needs tightening.

1. Remove the cover from the motor by squeezing it
from the sides.
2. You’ll find the motor brush held in with a clip, with
the lead plugged in.

18
4b.Some treadmill motors may use a push clip
instead. In this case, gently push the clip inwards
and then up to release it from its latch.
4c.Remove the clip, noting the direction in which it
was originally placed, and put it safely aside.
5. Slide the motor brush out from its slot. If the brush
is shorter than 2cm on the longest side, you will need
to replace both brushes.
6. Slide the motor brush lead off the terminal using a
another small screwdriver or needle-nosed pliers.
7. Plug the new motor brush lead into the terminal.
8. Slide the new motor brush into the slot.

19
9a.Release the clip back into its position.
9b.If your motor uses a push clip, replace the push
clip by pushing it inwards and then down so that it
engages the catch.
10.Check that the motor brush is held firmly in place
by the clip, and that the lead is plugged securely onto
the terminal.
11.Replace the motor cover. Repeat steps 1-15 for
the second brush located on the opposing side of the
motor.
12.You have now successfully replaced the motor brushes. We also recommend that you remove any dirt and
dust from your treadmill motor fan using a vacuum cleaner before replacing the cover.
