Correct Use
Correct biomechanical position: Please refer to left picture. Running straight on the treadmill is made easier by focusing on a fixed
object in front of you in the room. Run as if you wanted to approach the object. Always keep a distance which you can reach the
front hand bar.
Major exercise type: This equipment focuses on your lower body, and it can train your thigh and shank muscles
Important: Incorrect/excessive training can cause health injuries.

DECK LUBRICATION:
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the walking board be checked
periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Please ensure
the lubrication of the running belt is checked every 4-6 weeks after the initial 100 miles/kilometers of use.
Every 30 days or 30 hours of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the walking board as far as you
can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.
Please use a non-petroleum based silicone.
To apply lubricant to the walking belt:
1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in center of the walking board.
2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can if a nozzle is required.
3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board approximately 6" from
the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat
this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 4 seconds on each side.
4. Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.
RUNNING BELT ADJUSTMENT
This information forms part of the self maintenance and must be carried out periodically by the user*
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance could
cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and exceed the LIMITED WARRANTY coverage.
IMPORTANT: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids away and
keep it out of direct sunlight. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
Belt Adjustment
The running belt has been adjusted properly by the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons
could cause the belt to shift off centre resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing
damage. To adjust the belt back to its proper position please follow the directions below:
If the belt has only moved by 1-2mm this will not affect the operation of your treadmill
1. If your belt tends to walk to the right, simply adjust the left belt tension bolt by turning it 1/4 turn counter clockwise. Follow
with a test.
2. If your belt tends to walk to the left, rotate the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time, and follow with a test. If the belt
continues to walk to the left, simply adjust the right tension bolt counter clockwise.
3. If your belt appears to be loose, simply tighten both bolts evenly 1/4turn. If it appears tight, simply loosen both bolts evenly
1/4 turn.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
