Carefully unpack all delivered parts. Have someone there to help you as the treadmill has a deadweight of ap-
proximately 43kg. Before assembly check that all parts in the scope of delivery have been delivered.
Assemble the parts carefully as any damages or defects occurring due to mistakes made at the time of assem-
bly are not covered by the warranty or guarantee. Therefore, read through the assembly instructions carefully
before you start assembling, follow each assembly step exactly as described and keep to the correct sequence
of assembly as instructed. Assembly of the training device must be carried out thoroughly by adults only.

Mains Cable
Connect the power cable to an electrical socket.
The device may only be plugged-in to grounded socket which has been installed by a
professional electrician. Do not use multiple sockets to connect the treadmill. If you need
to use an extension cable, it must comply with the VDE or equivalent guidelines.
Main Switch
The main switch is located next to the power connection on the side of the motor hous-
ing. This switch is used to turn the treadmill on or o󰀨.
Switch position “I” = treadmill switched on
Switch position “0” = treadmill switched o󰀨
Fault-Current Switch (depending on the model)
There is a fault-current button-switch next to the main switch on the front of the motor cover to prevent the
treadmill from being damaged by electrical surges in the network. This button-switch is triggered o󰀨 by if a surge
in the electrical supply occurs and acts as a circuit breaker. In this case the treadmill will be completely switched
o󰀨. If this occurs, switch o󰀨 the treadmill at the main switch, and pull the mains cable out of the socket with the
plug. Press the button on the fault-current switch back in. Re-connect the mains cable with the plug and switch
the treadmill back on at the main switch.
Fuse (depending on model)
To protect the treadmill from damage caused by overvoltage of the mains there is a fuse next to the main switch
on the front of the engine cover. This breaks the circuit in the event of an overvoltage, the treadmill is completely
switched o󰀨. If this happens, turn o󰀨 the treadmill with the main power switch and unplug the power cable from
the wall socket. Check the fuse and replace if necessary. Then re-connect the power cable to the socket and
switch the treadmill back on using the main switch.
To protect the treadmill from being used by unauthorised third parties, always remove the safety key and keep it
stored away in a separate place and out of the reach of unauthorised persons, such as children.

Thanks to the transport rollers, the treadmill can easily be pushed and moved around in both its assembled or
pre-assembled condition.
CAUTION:
The treadmill should only be moved by an adult.
Transport in Assembled Condition
Step 1:
Remove the mains cable at the plug from the electrical socket. Take hold of the back of the treadmill deck with
both hands and lift it upwards until the majority of its weight is resting on the transport rollers. Make sure that
you have a secure footing whilst doing this.
Step 2:
Now the treadmill can be pushed around easily without much e󰀨ort. Make sure that there are no objects,
children or animals obstructing the way. Make sure when moving the treadmill that you have a secure and rm
footing.
Step 3:
To put the treadmill deck back down again, lower it slowly and gently until the base frame is standing completely
back down on the oor.
Transport in Pre-Assembled Condition
Step 1:
Remove the mains cable at the plug from the electrical socket. To fold-down the treadmill again, repeat the
steps for assembly in the reverse order.
Step 2:
Once fully folded down, take hold of the back of the treadmill deck with both hands and lift it upwards until the
majority of its weight is resting on the transport rollers. Make sure that you have a rm and secure footing whilst
doing this.
If you want to move the treadmill with it in its vertical position to store it for example between a cupboard and the
wall, lift the treadmill deck up so that it is standing vertically. Now you can move the treadmill to the left and right
on its transverse transport rollers.
CAUTION:
Make sure that you have a rm and secure footing whilst doing this and that the treadmill cannot topple over.
If in doubt, ask a second person to assist. If you store the treadmill in a vertical position, make certain that it
cannot fall or crash down.

The treadmill will only operate if the safety key is correctly in contact with contact point in the cockpit. The tread-
mill will stop automatically if the safety key is no longer in contact.
Before each training session make sure to attach the safety key to your clothing with the clip.
If you either want to stop the treadmill quickly, cannot keep up with the speed, or any other emergency arises,
pull the string to remove the safety key out of the cockpit. If the safety key is connected to your clothing it will
automatically be pulled out of the cockpit if you fall. It is therefore vital to make sure that the clip is securely
fastened to your clothing and cannot somehow be pulled o󰀨. Adjust the length of the string to hang down loosely
during training.
It is not possible to operate the treadmill without the safety key being correctly inserted.
If the safety key is pulled from the contact point during training the treadmill stops automatically. The message
“E-07” or “E00” will appear in the display .
Select a suitable place for your training device which when in operation leaves a free safety area behind the
device measuring a minimum of 200 cm long and which is at least the width of the treadmill.
Furthermore, whilst training on the treadmill you will require a minimum safety area measuring 100cm wide
down the length of each side of the treadmill. You will also require a minimum safety area which is at least the
width of the treadmill and measures a minimum of 50cm long in front of the treadmill.
Stop training immediately if you realise that you cannot keep up with the pace, if you start feeling sick or if any
other emergency arises, pull the safety key out with the string to make an emergency stop.
Hold on rmly with both hands onto the handrails and place your feet on the foot rails on each side of the tread
belt.
If you trip during training, hold onto the handrails immediately with both hands, support yourself with your hands
and arms on the handrails and put your feet on the foot rails on either side of the tread belt.
You should practice this several times so that you will know what to do if an emergency arises.
Wear the safety key every time you use the treadmill. Make sure that all third parties are familiar with the safety
instructions and that they always use the safety key correctly whilst training!

CAUTION:
Before you perform any care, cleaning, maintenance, repair or similar work on your training device, switch o󰀨
the power and remove the power cable from the electrical socket. Check before starting the planned work that
your training device is completely disconnected and switched o󰀨. Only when all work is fully completed, and the
device is completely re-assembled, may the training device be reconnected to the mains and switched on.
Before rst use or after a long break from training
Check that the treadmill is safe. There must be no objects on or under the device. Make sure that there is a
continuous lm of lubricant (silicone) on the running deck. If this is not the case, then use the supplied silicone
to apply a lubricant lm.
Maintenance & Cleaning Intervals:
After each workout, clean the treadmill with a damp cloth to remove possible perspiration and / or other liquid
residues. Under no circumstances use solvents for this purpose. Dry the cleaned areas thoroughly.
Check the lubrication of the running belt: once a week
If your regular checks show that there is no longer enough lubrication, lubricate the belt immediately and shorten
the checking interval accordingly as necessary. If the treadmill has a folding mechanism and has been standing
upright for a long time, check whether there is still enough lubricant present.
Check the alignment of the belt: once a week
The alignment of the running belt must be checked regularly. Should you notice that the belt is running to one
side, this must be corrected immediately. Please read the corresponding section in the manual.
Clean the motor compartment: once a month
To clean the motor compartment, remove the motor cover bolts and cover.
CAUTION: This work may only be performed when the training device is switched o󰀨 and the power plug
is removed. Vacuum the visible dust with the small nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Never use detergent or com-
pressed air under any circumstances.
Check the mounting materials: once a month
Check the bolts and nuts at least once a month. Tighten, if necessary.
Why is maintenance of my treadmill so important?
For you to enjoy your treadmill for a long time, it is important to do some basic maintenance regularly and con-
scientiously. The intervals of this work depend very much on the degree of utilisation of the device and there-
fore, the intervals may need to be shorter than specied.
What can happen if there is a lack of maintenance?
There is friction between the running belt and the running deck when in use. Any kind of friction means wear
and thus reduces the life of your training device. By lubricating between the belt and the deck with silicone this
friction is reduced, thus increasing the life of both parts. If the treadmill runs dry the running deck will get hot,
the surface of the running deck and the running belt may be destroyed. Friction can also lead to a static charge
which can discharge on body contact with the frame. This is not only unpleasant but can also destroy the elec-
tronics of the treadmill.
Why do I have to clean the motor compartment?
Due to movement of the running belt and ventilation of the motor, the treadmill attracts dust from the environ-
ment. This dust will be deposited both under and in the device. Without cleaning, the interior of the device would
at some point get so dusty that a short would be caused in the electronic components. To avoid this, regular
cleaning is necessary.
Damage caused by neglect or lack of maintenance and care are excluded from the
Warranty and Guarantee.
Costs for the repair of a non-maintained training device can therefore quickly amount to several hundred euros.
A high price that can be avoided by regular care and maintenance
Maintenance & Care

Maintenance & Care
Lubricating the Treadmill Belt
The most important maintenance measure for a treadmill is regular and timely lubrication and regular mainte-
nance and care of the running belt. Damage or defects to the running belt resulting from lack of or failure to care
for or lubricate the running belt, are not covered by the warranty or guarantee under any circumstances.
The treadmill belt must always be lubricated if a signicant increase in friction of the running belt is noted. This
can be detected by a jerking movement of the belt while training, or an error message (eg. “E1”) in the cockpit
display.
Inadequate lubrication or care and the associated signicant increase in friction inevitably leads to increased
wear and causes damage to the running belt, running deck, engine and circuit board. The frequency of use of
the treadmill largely dictates how often you must perform maintenance. Because this varies from user to user,
we recommend creating a service booklet. You should set a xed day of the week to check the lubrication of the
running belt during the rst 6 months of use. To do this, lift the front third of the running belt and feel with your
hand towards the middle if there is still lubricant present. If so, enter the date and “ok” in the service booklet. If
little or no lubricant is present, lubricate the belt and enter this with the date. After some time, you can see the
lubrication interval which is required.
Even if you do not want to keep a service book, be sure to check the lubrication of the running belt once per
week!
If the treadmill is not used, or if the treadmill remains in the pre-assembled condition for some longer period you
must check the lubrication of the belt before use and lubricate it if necessary.
Step 1:
Remove the normal screw cap from the MAXXUS Care Oil bottle and replace it with the screw top with nozzle.
(Fig. 1).
Step 2:
Before lubricating the belt, make sure that the treadmill is switched o󰀨. To be sure, also remove the plug from
the power socket.
Step 3:
Lift the belt on the right side up high enough so that you can reach to the middle with the end of the thin nozzle
on the care oil bottle between the underside of the raised treadmill belt and the surface of the treadmill deck. In
the middle of the deck apply a wavy line of care oil going from the centre to the outside of the deck. Move the tip
of the nozzle over the surface of the treadmill deck pressing gently on the care oil bottle to leave a line of oil on
the deck. Make two more lines to the right and left of your central line leaving a distance of about 20 to 30 cm
on each side. Repeat this procedure from the left side of the deck by raising the left side of the belt. The lines on
this side should be equally staggered between the three lines you have just done from the other side (Fig. 2).
For an entire lubrication process you should use a maximum of 15 to 20 ml of care oil (not per line!!). If you ap-
ply too much care oil this may lead to the treadmill belt slipping through. Any excess care oil must be removed
from the treadmill deck and drive rollers using a dry cloth.

ENG
Maintenance & Care
CAUTION:
Never lubricate the top surface of the treadmill belt!! Lubrication is only to be applied to the surface of the tread-
mill deck.
CAUTION:
Only use the oil bottle supplied or MAXXUS® care oil (available from www.maxxus.de) to lubricate the treadmill
belt. Do not use any other kinds of silicone or lubricants! We do not recommend the use of silicone sprays at
any time!
Step 4:
After completing a lubrication process let the belt run without any load at a speed of 4 km/h for approx. 5 min-
utes to distribute the care oil well.
CAUTION:
For treadmills with foldable treadmill decks or with treadmills which can be stored vertically, do not fold or store
vertically for at least 3 days after lubrication.

Adjusting the Treadmill Belt
The treadmill belt must always be switched o󰀨 with the mains cable plug removed from the socket before start-
ing any maintenance, cleaning, repairs or any other works!
To achieve as long a service life as possible, the belt should always be kept running straight along the centre
of the deck. Check therefore before each training session if the belt is straight and running in the middle of the
deck or if it has changed position. Possible reasons for it changing position are:
−The ground on which the treadmill is standing is either uneven or at an incline.
−Personal running style (eg. distribution of weight to one side, in or out-turned feet etc)
Maintenance & Care
The treadmill belt can be adjusted in the following way:
1. Start-up the treadmill belt and let it run at a constant speed of 12 km/h.
2.1 If the belt is running towards the left, turn the left adjustment screw
located at the back end of the belt by 1/8 turn clockwise and the right
adjustment screw 1/8 turn anti-clockwise. Wait for a short while to see
the results as this will not immediately be apparent.
The running direction of the belt will be changed with just a turn of 1/8 of
the adjustment screw. Only turn the screw a little at a time.
2.2 If the belt is running towards the right, turn the right adjustment screw by
1/8 turn clockwise and the left adjustment screw 1/8 turn anti-clockwise.
3. If the belt is now running in the middle of the deck, the adjustment will
be correct. If this is still not the case, repeat the steps described in 2.1
and 2.2 until the belt is running in the middle.
If the belt cannot be adjusted, please contact a specialist immediately.
If the belt has become so displaced that it is rubbing along one the foot
rails, this will cause friction and defects to the treadmill belt. Damage
caused by failure or insu󰀩cient adjustments to be made to the treadmill
belt will not be covered by the warranty or guarantee under any circum-
stances.
Re-tensioning the Treadmill Belt
If the belt is slipping on the drive rollers during operation (this will be made apparent by the belt jolting noticeably
during running) the belt requires to be re-tensioned. The belt is re-tensioned using the same adjustment screws
as when adjusting the belt.
Step 1:
Start-up the treadmill belt and let it run at a constant speed of 4 km/h.
Step 2:
Turn each adjustment screw one after the other by 1/8 of a turn in a clock-
wise direction.
Step 3:
Try to slow down the belt by walking on it as if you are walking down a steep
slope. If the front roller is still turning, repeat the tensioning process once
again. The treadmill belt should be tensioned so that the front roller only turns
through with heavy braking.

If your actual heart rate continues to exceed the maximum set heart rate for a further period of 3 minutes, a
warning signal will sound again and the current speed will be reduced again automatically by 1.0km/h.
If your actual heart rate continues to exceed the maximum set heart rate for a further period of 3 minutes a
warning signal will sound and the current speed will automatically be reduced to bring the treadmill to a com-
plete standstill.
The purpose of this training program is to protect the user from over straining themselves and to save the user
from continually having to monitor their heart rate whilst training.
For this reason, when using this program, you should select a realistic speed which is suitable for your current
training condition. Before using this program, you should test how high your heart rate is when you are running
“comfortably” and then set the maximum heart rate limit to be a maximum of 10 heart beats higher than this.
This will also avoid unwanted interruptions in your training sessions if the maximum heart rate limit has been set
too low.
CAUTION:
Before using this program or heart rate measurement, please read the section “Heart Rate” in this manual and
pay particular attention to the warnings!
