Product Description
Display(A): Powerjog is equipped with an LCD console.
Running Belt (B): Surface is composed by rubber slats with
aluminum backing that will ease the impact on the joints.
Lateral Handles(C): Long handrails for safety.
Central Handle (D): When using the Powerjog as a sled, this is the
handle to grab for pushing
Side rails (E): When the user is in danger or feel tired, he can put
his feet on the boards for a short pause, in addition, it can be used
as a tool for single foot exercise.
Magnetic Resistance (F): The Powerjog is a heavy-duty commercial
treadmill, which has resistance, and several levels of magnetic
resistance can be controlled with the metal handle.
We have found out that having resistance in the Powerjog is
extremely important for users that only want to walk as adding a bit
of resistance can stabilize the belt and give an excellent walk. The
levels of resistance are so high that the Powerjog can also be used
as a sled.

Powerjog Installation Instructions
Hardware kit
1- Completely remove both plastic shrouds 01 and 02 in
(Picture1) together with the top plastics and keep all the bolts
to put them back on once the treadmill is assembled (these
are all small bolts # 5) and there are more small bolts for
shrouds #5 in the hardware kit.
2- Attach the right pedestal that has the handle with the
resistance cable, finger tighten all bolts using two large bolts
#1 (B1) and two bolts #2 with washers (B3) (Picture 2).
3- On the right side of the treadmill (Picture 5), route the
resistance steel cable clockwise around the plastic pulley (03)
and secure the cable to the peg (d) in the magnet. Set the
resistance handle to minimum and verify that the magnet is

5/ 18
away from the flywheel. Set the resistance handle to
maximum and verify that the magnet is on top of the flywheel
but not too much so it does not touch the flywheel. See
pictures below for proper set up. The steel cable can be
shortened or enlarged by moving the two little nuts up and
down the threaded bolt, when the resistance is properly
adjusted please fit the cable in the U shape slot leaving one
nut on top and the other nut below the slot and fully adjust
the two nuts securing the fitting to the frame in the U shape
slot.
No Resistance Max Resistance
4- Attach the left pedestal in the same manner using two large
bolts#1 and two bolts #2 with washers. Connect the data
cable on the lower left side to the cable going up the pedestal.
All bolts finger tighten at this time.
5- Connect the V shape handle-bars (Pictures 4,5 & 6) using
bolts#3 provided in the hardware kit.
6- Attach and connect the console and put the batteries in the
compartment. At this point, fully tighten all bolts.
7- Only when the console is working and the resistance is
working you are ready to put the shrouds back again.

6/ 18
8- You will have to use all bolts #5 and four longer bolts #4 in
the middle of the top plastics where they connect, two
bolts#4 for each side.
9- IMPORTANT: Make sure the rubber covers that slide on the
handrails don’t stay under the top plastics as those will go on
top of the plastics.

Instructions!for!use!
The PowerJog is a non-motorized treadmill with magnetic resistance
where the user drives the running surface at will and controls the
speed. For safety the treadbelt rotates backwards only and will not
rotate forward. The belt is very slick so we suggest stepping on the
side rails to access the Powerjog. Hold the side handle, first step on
the side rails and from the side rails to the running belt. If this is
your first time, we recommend that you adjust the resistance
handle to maximum resistance so the treadbelt will not move.
Standing firm on the running belt start lowering the resitance and
start walking but leave the resistance handle in 1 or 2 of resistance
according to your body weight.
The Powerjog is a completely new concept of treadmill very
different from conventional motorized treadmills so exercise caution
when using this new treadmill and start slow walking to learn the
proper use, after some time you will be use to it and jogging or
running at high speeds will come naturaly.
Because the running surface is slightly curved, to accelerate, move
forward and to slow down move to the flatter part of the curve.
You can finish running by drifting positioning your body to the
flatter part of the curve, grab the handrails and step on the side
rails.
WARNING
The magnetic brake might not be able to fully stop the
treadbelt.
A NEW EXPERIENCE : The Powerjog will give you amazing muscle
activation compared to conventional electric flat treadmills so don't
get frustrated if you run for one hour on an electric treadmill but
can only do 20 minutes on the Powerjog. You are getting a more
efficient workout and with the use of resistance and the long
handrail, many different workouts can be achieved. The Powerjog is
excellent for interval training where you are constantly changing the
speed, but almost impossible to do in a conventional electric flat
treadmill.
