Mains Cable
Mains Cable
Main Switch
Mains Cable
Connector
Connect the power cable coupling to the corresponding plug on the Treadmill. Then
connect the power cable to an electrical socket.
The device may only be plugged in to grounded sockets which have 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 guidelines.
Main Switch
The main switch is located next to the power connection on the front of the Treadmill. This
switch turns the treadmill on or off.
Switch position „I“ = treadmill switched on
Fault Current Switch
May vary depending on the model
Switch position „0" = treadmill switched off
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 off by if a surge in the electrical supply
occurs and acts as a circuit breaker. In this case the treadmill will be completely switched off. If this occurs, switch off 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 the 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 off. If
this happens, turn off 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.

Safety Key and EMERGENCY button
The treadmill will only operate if the safety key is correctly in contact with contact point in the cockpit. The
treadmill 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 or press down the EMERGENCY button
(see Figure 1). 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 off. 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 or the EMERGENCY button is pressed, the
treadmill stops automatically.
The incline will remain in the adjusted position and can only be lowered after the safety key has been re-
connected. Do this as shown by the arrow in Figure 2 then push the plastic element back again.
Function test of Safety Key and EMERGENCY button
Before each use of the treadmill, check the functioning of the Safety Key and the EMERGENCY button. To do
this, start the treadmill while standing beside it and pull the safety key from his contact position. The treadmill
should stop immediately. Run this test again for the EMERGENCY button. Restart the treadmill while standing
beside it and then press the EMERGENCY button. The treadmill should stop immediately
CAUTION:
Never use the treadmill if the Safety Key or the EMERGENCY button are not functioning properly.
To protect the treadmill from being used by unauthorised third parties, always remove the
mains cable and keep it stored away in a separate place and out of the reach of unauthorised
persons, such as children.

wide behind the training device.
Furthermore, during training, a safety distance down the length of the treadmill with a minimum width of 100 cm
should be kept to the right and/or left-hand side of the treadmill.
What to do in an Emergency
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 firmly 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!

Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
CAUTION:
Before you perform any care, cleaning, maintenance, repair or similar work on your training device, turn off
your exerciser and remove the power cord. Check before starting the planned work that your exerciser is
completely disconnected and switched off. Only when all work is fully completed, and the device is completely
re-assembled, may the training device to be reconnected to the mains and turned on.
Before first 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
film of lubricant (silicone) on the running deck. If this is not the case, then use the supplied silicone and apply a lubricant
film.
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.
Checking the lubrication of the running belt: once a week
If your regular checks show that there is no longer enough lubrication, immediately lubricate and adjust the check
interval accordingly as shorter intervals are 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 belt run: 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.
Cleaning 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 off and the power plug is
removed. Vacuum the visible dust with the small nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Never use detergent or compressed air
under any circumstances.
Checking the fixing materials: once a month
Check the bolts and nuts at least once a month. Tighten it, 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
conscientiously. The intervals of this work depend very much on the degree of utilisation of the device and therefore, the
intervals may need to be shorter than specified.
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 board and mat with silicone the friction is reduced,
thus increasing the life of both parts. If the treadmill runs dry the running board gets hot, the surface of the running
board 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 electronics 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 environment.
This deposits both under and in the device. At some point, the interior of the device would be so dusty that it causes
a short to 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.

12
Lubricating the Treadmill Belt
The most important maintenance measure for a treadmill is regular and timely lubrication and regular
maintenance 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 significant 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. “E01”) in the cockpit display.
Inadequate lubrication or care and the associated significant 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 fixed day of the week to check the lubrication of the running belt during
the first 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 required.
Even if you do not want to run 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 folded-up for some longer period you must check the lubrication
of the belt before use and lubricate it if necessary. Ideally you should lubricate the belt before using it for the first time
and then again one week later, and then at regular intervals from then on.
To achieve optimum lubrication of the belt, use the MAXXUS maintenance oil bottle, remove the normal screw bottle
top (Diagram 1) and screw on the thin tube top (Diagram 2). Before lubricating the belt, make sure that the treadmill is
switched-off and that the belt is no longer moving. Now lift the belt (Diagram 3)
Diagram 1 Diagram 2 Diagram 3
Area to lubricate
The belt should be lubricated from both sides. Lift the belt from one side high enough so that you can reach the middle
of the belt with the end of the thin tube on the silicone oil bottle. Apply a wavy line of silicone oil from the middle of the
belt towards the sides. You should apply three to four lines of silicone oil running from the middle of the belt to the sides.
At each lubrication process you should not apply more than 10 to max 15ml of silicone oil. If too much silicon is applied
this may lead to the treadmill belt slipping through. In this case remove the excess oil from the deck and drive rollers
with a dry cloth..Treadmill Deck Treadmill Belt
Diagram 4 Rear Roller
Centre of Deck Motor Housing
After completing a lubrication process, walk and run on the treadmill with the belt running at a speed of 4 km/h for
approx. 5 minutes. Whilst doing this, change your position constantly from left to right and in the middle of the belt to
distribute the silicone oil well. Following lubrication do not fold up the treadmill for at least 2 days.
Only use the silicone bottle supplied or MAXXUS® maintenance oil (available from www.maxxus.de) to lubricate
the treadmill belt. We do not recommend using any other types of silicone or lubricants containing Teflon at any
time.

13
Adjusting the Treadmill Belt
8
The treadmill belt must always be switched off and the mains cable plug removed from the
socket before starting 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 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)
•
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 along 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 insufficient adjustments made to
the treadmill belt will not be covered by the warranty or
guarantee under any circumstances.
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.
1.
Start-up the treadmill belt and let it run at a constant speed of 4
km/h.
2.
Turn one adjustment screw after the other by 1/8 of a turn in a
clockwise direction.
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.

Body Mass Index (BMI)
This value is calculated from the ratio of body weight to height and is used
to assess the body weight of a person in relation to his body size. Please note
that the BMI is only a rough guideline, as it does not take into account
physique and gender or the individual composition of the body mass of fat
and muscle tissue of a person. The "ideal" BMI depends on the age.
The table shows BMI values for different age groups.

Cockpit
Heart Rate-Controlled programs (HRC)
These programs are heart rate-controlled exercise programmes.
The user specifies a target heart rate. This is continuously compared with the actual heart rate of the user by the
cockpit. If the actual heart rate is lower than the target heart rate, the treadmill automatically increases the speed. If the
value is higher, the treadmill automatically reduces the speed. The main requirement for these programmes is a
permanent, accurate transmission of heart rate values. For this reason, these programmes can only be done using an
uncoded heart rate chest belt. This is available as an accessory. Using these programs with the hand pulse sensors is
not possible. Please also read the chapters " Heart Rate Monitoring using a Chest Belt " and " Warning about Pulse &
Heart Rate Monitors " in this manual.
Step 1: Program Selection
After switching on the treadmill „P0" will appear in the display.
By pressing the PROGRAM or P key select from program HRC1, HRC2 or HRC3.
HRC1 = Maximum speed 9 km/h
HRC2 = Maximum speed 11 km/h
HRC3 = Maximum speed 13km/h
Step 2: Age Input
The value of 25 will be flashing in the display. Enter the age of the user by pressing the control keys for speed. Entries
from 15 to 80 years are possible.
Confirm your entry using the MODE key.
Step 3: Selection of Target Pulse
The target heart rate calculated by the cockpit is shown in the display. This is 60% of the maximum heart rate. If you want to
train with the calculated value confirm this with the MODE key.
If you want to train with an individual target heart rate, enter it by pressing the control key for SPEED. It is possible to enter a
value between 80 to 180. Confirm this by pressing the MODE key.
Please also read the chapters on pulse and heart rate measurement in this manual.
Step 4: Time Input
The value of 30:00 minutes will be flashing in the TIME display. Enter the training time you require between 05:00 and
99:00 by pressing the control key for speed.
Step 5: Profile Start
Now press the START key.
A countdown will be shown in the display. The training time will start to run as soon as the countdown ends, and the
treadmill will start automatically at a speed of 1.0 km/h. This start-up speed will continue for 60 seconds and then the
HRC program will start. The incline can be changed during training as required.
Training End
The treadmill stops automatically at the end of the selected time.
Program Sequence
After the treadmill starts automatically the cockpit measures the current heart rate of the user.
If the current heart rate is +/- 5 beats/minute above or below the target heart rate, the treadmill will continue at the
current speed.
Example:
Target heart rate is 130 - no change to the speed and incline if the current heart rate is between 125~135
beats/minute.
If the current heart rate is more than 30 beats/minute higher than the target heart rate, the treadmill will reduce
speed by 2.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is 6 to 29 beats/minute higher than the target heart rate, the treadmill will reduce speed by
1.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is more than 30 beats/minute lower than the target heart rate then the treadmill will increase
speed by 2.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is 6 to 29 beats/minute lower than the target heart rate then the treadmill reduces speed by
1.0 km/h.
In the following cases the treadmill will stop the current HRC Program early:
1.
If heart rate measurement is not possible for more than 60 seconds.
2.
If the actual heart rate is still higher than 5 beats/minute as the target heart rate and the speed is already set
at the slowest speed possible.
3.
If the actual heart rate is higher than the maximum heart rate (220-Age).

Cockpit
Free Memory Space U01, U02 and U03
Here there are 3 free memory slots for individual training profiles.
Step 1: Program Selection
After switching the treadmill on „P0“ will appear on the display. Select the memory slot you want from U01, U02 or U03
using the “P” key.
Step 2 2: Time Input
The value of 30:00 minutes will be flashing in the TIME display. Enter the training time you require between 05:00 and
99:00 by pressing the control key for speed or incline.
Step 3: Selecting the Speed
In the profile matrix the first of the 16 segments will flash and the value of 1.km will be flashing in the SPEED display.
Enter the required speed by pressing the control key for speed or using the quick selection key QUICK SPEED.
Confirm your entry by pressing the MODE key.
Now the second segment in the profile matrix will be flashing and the value of 1.0 km/h will flash in the SPEED display.
Enter the speed you require as instructed above and confirm this with the M key and proceed in the same way with
the rest of the segments.
Step 4: Selecting the Incline
After confirming your required speed for the last segment by pressing the M key, the segments and Value 1 will start to
flash in the profile matrix to select the incline.
Enter the required incline by pressing the control key for incline or by using the quick selection key QUICK
INCLINE.
Confirm your entry by pressing the MODE key.
Now the second segment in the profile matrix will be flashing and Value 1 will be flashing in the incline display. Enter
the incline you require and confirm this by pressing the M key. Proceed in the same way with the rest of the
segments. When you have completed the entry for the last segment, do not press the M key but continue straight
away with Step 5.
Step 5: Program Start
Now press the START key.
A countdown will be shown in the display. The training time will start to run as soon as the countdown ends,
and the treadmill will start automatically.
Training End
The treadmill stops automatically at the end of the selected time.
The training profile has now been saved in the memory. To do this training again, follow Step 1 and Step 1. Directly
after entering the time, press the START key.
To overwrite the program simply follow all the steps above.

Calculation of the individual training heart rate
Your individual training heart rate is calculated as follows:
220 - Age = maximum heart rate
This value sets your maximum heart rate and serves as the basis for the calculation of the individual
training heart rate. To do this, set the calculated maximum heart rate equal to 100%
Wellness & Health - Target Zone = 50 to 60% of maximum heart rate
This training zone is ideal for overweight and / or older beginners, or re-entrants with a longer workout break.
During exercise in this zone, the body burns about 4-6 calories per minute for energy. The percentage per calorie is
about 70% fat, 25% carbohydrate and 5% protein.
Fat Burning Target Zone = 60 to 70% of maximum heart rate
This training zone is ideal for athletes whose goal is weight reduction.
During exercise in this zone the body burns about 6-10 calories per minute for energy. The percentage per calorie is
about 85% fat, 10% carbohydrate and 5% protein.
Condition & Fitness - Target Zone = 70-80% of maximum heart rate
This training zone is ideal for athletes whose goal is to improve their stamina or fitness.
During exercise in this zone, the body burns about 10-12 calories per minute for energy. The percentage per calorie is
about 35% fat, 60% carbohydrate and 5% protein.
For an optimal and effective training result, you should calculate the mean value of the desired target zone (see also
table):
Wellness & Health - Target zone mean = 55% of maximum heart rate
Fat burning - target zone mean = 65% of maximum heart rate
Condition & Fitness - Target zone mean = 75% of maximum heart rate
