The following procedure has been proven to be the
safest and easiest method of mounting the treadmill.
For your protection, carefully read and follow these
simple steps:
Be sure the treadmill is positioned on a at, level
surface.
Make sure the magnetic safety key is not attached
then plug in the treadmill power cable to a suitable
power socket and switch on at the socket.
Turn on the treadmill power switch which is located
near where the power cable attaches to the treadmill.
Straddle the running mat with your feet rmly
planted on the right and left staging platforms. Stand
close enough so you can extend your arms to touch
all the buttons on the console. CAUTION: Do not
stand on the mat yet.
Insert the safety key.
Press “START” key, the treadmill will start at the lowest
speed.
STARTING YOUR EXERCISE
Stand on the running mat.
Once you have selected your workout, the treadmill
will slowly increase it’s speed to the desired levels.
Continue to grip the handles until you are walking /
running normally.
After gaining stability and condence, release your
grip on the handrails and let your arms swing freely
and naturally at your side.
NOTE: WALKING STRAIGHT ON THE TREADMILL IS
AIDED BY FOCUSING ON A STATIONARY OBJECT
ACROSS THE ROOM IN FRONT OF YOU. WALK AS IF
YOU WERE APPROACHING THAT OBJECT.
GETTING OFF THE TREADMILL
The following procedure has been proven to be
the safest and easiest method of dismounting the
treadmill. For your protection, carefully read and
follow these simple steps:
Turn treadmill to the lowest speed and incline.
Firmly grip the handles to support yourself.
Remove your trailing foot from the walking platform
and place it on the foot pad on the side of the
treadmill. This is very easy to do because the natural
movement of walking will have shifted your weight
onto the foot that just stepped forward.
Shift your weight to the stationary foot on the foot
pad, and remove the other foot from the walking

platform and place it on the other foot pad. You
should now be in the starting position.
Press “STOP” key to stop the treadmill and disconnect
the safety key then unplug treadmill from the power
outlet when nished.
IN AN EMERGENCY, TAKE HOLD OF THE HANDRAILS
AND PLACE YOUR FEET ON THE SIDE RAILS
PROVIDED, ONCE YOU ARE STABLE, PULL OUT THE
SAFETY KEY. THE TREADMILL WILL THEN BEGIN TO
DECELERATE UNTIL IT STOPS.
MAT ALIGNMENT AND TENSION
The alignment and tension of the mat (walking
surface) has been set prior to shipping. Should
improper tracking of the mat occur (walking surface
moving too far to right or left on the platform) or if
you nd that the mat slips when you get on, these
problems can be corrected as follows:
Locate the adjustment screws on the end of the
main frame. CAUTION: Adjust the mat when the
treadmill is running at low speed. Keep others
away from the treadmill.
Connect the safety key and set to the lowest speed.
Allow the mat to run for several minutes and watch
to see if it runs in the center position properly. If the
mat does not run in the center position, carry out the
steps for “MAT MOVES TO LEFT” or “MAT MOVES TO
RIGHT”. Be sure that you adjust by “1/2 turn only each
time”to avoid over correcting.
MAT MOVES TO RIGHT: If your mat tends to move to the
right, then adjust the right screw by turning it a 1/2 turn
clockwise. We recommend adjustments of 1/2 turn only
at a time, then test each time. If your mat continues to
move to the right, simply adjust the left adjustment screw,
by turning 1/2 turn counterclockwise, test after each
adjustment.
MAT MOVES TO LEFT: If your mat tends to move to the
left, then the adjustment of the right screw is necessary
by turning counterclockwise. We recommend adjustments
of 1/2 turn only at a time, then test each time. If the
mat continues to move to the left, simply adjust the left

adjustment screw, by turning 1/2 turn clockwise, then test
each time.
NOTE: For most people, one of your legs is stronger
than the other and the treadmill mat may tend to track
to that side because of the extra pressure exerted by
your stronger leg. If this occurs then either dismount the
treadmill and allow the mat to track back to the middle,
or exert pressure to the side of the mat with the other leg
to track the mat back to the middle. Or adjust the mat to
compensate following the instructions for the mat moves
to the right or left.
MAT TOO LOOSE: If your mat appears to be loose, simply
tighten both screws by an equal amount (1/2 a turn
clockwise at a time) then test.
MAT TOO TIGHT: If it appears tight, simply loosen both
screws by an equal amount (1/2 a turn counter-clockwise
at a time) then test.
MAT STICKY (DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY: You may feel
after a period of time (depending on how often you use
the machine) that the mat feels sticky. We recommend
you apply a light covering of Silicone between the mat
and the running board. This procedure may be repeated
as necessary.
WALKING MAT AND DECK LUBRICATION
This treadmill is equipped with a pre-lubricated,
maintenance deck system. The mat / deck friction may
play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill,
this requires periodic lubrication. We recommend a
periodic inspection of the deck. If the deck appears worn,
please contact our service department.
We recommend lubrication of the deck according to
the following timetable:
Less than 3 hours per week - every 8 months.
3-5 hours per week - every 4 months
More than 5 hours per week - every 2 months.
PROPER LUBRICATION APPLICATION
Using a coin to open the top cap covers above the
left and right lubricant bottles. Then put half of
lubrication that is in the spare parts box into the left
and right bottles. After it is done, put the top cap
covers back and tighten them securely.
Start the treadmill and set the speed at the lowest
speed. Let the mat run for about 15 minutes in order
to spread the lubrication on the underneath side of
the running mat properly.

USING THE MAGNETIC SAFETY KEY
IMPORTANT: The treadmill will not work if the magnetic
safety key is not in place. Before starting the treadmill,
attach the key to the computer, then attach the clip on
the other end to your clothing (Above the waist). If this
key is pulled out whilst you are running on the treadmill
then the mat will stop turning.
When the treadmill is not in use you should remove the
safety key and store it somewhere safe, away from the
treadmill. This will prevent any unauthorized use of the
treadmill. Store the safety key in a safe place OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE
UNDERTAKING A NEW EXERCISE REGIME. IF YOU
EXPERIENCE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR OTHER
ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS DURING EXERCISE, STOP
AT ONCE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
STARTING YOUR WORKOUT
Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Cool Down
session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent
strains, pulls and cramps.
Get onto the treadmill, using the handrails for
support, and place your feet on the side rails (Either
side of the running mat.).
Activate the treadmill by following this manual.
The treadmill will always start at the lowest speed,
step onto the mat and walk at the same speed and
continue the rest of your workout.
FINISHING YOUR WORKOUT
Turn to the lowest speed and incline settings.
Using the handrails for support, place your feet on the
side rails (Either side of the running mat).
Stop the treadmill.
Turn the treadmill o at the main power switch and
remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
Remove the safety key.
Wipe the treadmill down with a damp cloth.
End each workout with a Cool Down session - a few
minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and
cramps.
CORRECT EXERCISING FORM
Run in the centre of the running mat.
Keep your head up and look straight ahead.
Shoulders should be square and level, don’t round
your shoulders or swing them forwards or backwards.
Keep your torso erect with the chest up so there’s
plenty of room for the diaphragm to move for proper
breathing action.
Do not lean forwards, backwards or slouch, as all
of these posture deviations can place a lot of stress
on the lower back, interfering with proper running
mechanics and possibly causing lower back injury.
Feet should be pointed straight ahead and land
directly under the hips.

HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE FOR?
That really depends on your current level of tness. If
you’re just starting out on a new exercise program, you
should not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes,
3 times a week should be enough. You should never feel
overly exhausted during or following exercise.

To get the most out of your new piece of tness
equipment, you should exercise at the right level of eort,
and that means listening to your heart! Working out to a
target heart rate means you can direct your workout to
achieve dierent goals:
Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life
and general well being. Your sessions will need to be done
at an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated
maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and
can be done on most days of the week.
Weight loss - To see a signicant reduction in body fat,
your sessions must be a little more intense - between
60 - 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These
sessions can also be performed on most days of the week
for up to 30 minutes.
Improving tness levels - These sessions should be
performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart
rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that
would have your heart rate peaking for short times near
your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions
and will require at least a 48 hour rest between sessions.
CALCULATING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE
First, you need to nd your estimated maximum heart rate
using the formula 220 minus your age in ve years. So, if
you are 35 years old your estimated maximum heart rate
is: 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minutes (BPM)
Next to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply
your estimated maximum heart rate ( 185 BPM ) by the
applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better heart:
185 x 60% = 111 BPM
NOTE: The important issue to remember with all
estimated calculations is that they are just estimates
- if you don’t feel comfortable exercising at your target
then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with. Heart
rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate
throughout the workout. For this we recommend using
a chest strap (if you machine has a wireless receiver ) or
a heart rate monitor. For more information please visit

TROUBLESHOOTING
WHEN TO CALL FOR HELP
This treadmill is designed with user safety as the number
one priority. In the event of an electrical failure, the
treadmill will shut o automatically to prevent user injury
and to prevent damage to expensive components such as
the motor.
When you encounter unusual behavior from the treadmill,
simply turn the power switch o and on to reset the
treadmill. This should clear incidental errors and prepare
the treadmill for normal operation again. If, after you have
reset the treadmill by turning the power switch o and on
again, the treadmill is still not operational, then it is time
to call your dealer for advice.
NO SIGNAL ON THE CONSOLE LCD WINDOWS
If there is no signal on the monitor, even after you have
switched the treadmill o and on again to reset, check the
communication cable between the monitor and motor
controller. First, make sure the connections are rmly
connected and that the cable is not pinched or damaged.
If defective, ask your dealer for a replacement cable.
