Maintenance

TREADMILL MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance is very important to ensure a faultless and operational condition of the treadmill. Improper maintenance can cause damage to the treadmill or shorten the life of the product.

All parts of the treadmill must be checked and tightened regularly. Worn out parts must be replaced immediately.

14

BELT ADJUSTMENT

You may need to adjust the running belt during the first few weeks of use. All running belts are properly set at the factory. It may stretch of be off center after use. Stretching is normal during the break-in period.

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION:

If the running belt feels as though it is

―slipping‖ or hesitating when you plant you foot during a run, the tension on the running belt may have to be increased.

TO INCREASE THE RUNNING BELT TENSION:

1. Place 8mm wrench on the left belt tension bolt. Turn the wrench clockwise 1/4 turn to draw the rear roller and increase the belt tension.

2. Repeat STEP 1 for the right belt tension bolt. You must be sure to turn both bolts the same number of turns, so the rear roller will stay square relative to the frame.

3. Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the slipping is eliminated.

4. Be careful not to tighten the running belt tension too much as you can create excessive pressure on the front and rear roller bearings. An excessively tightened running belt may damage the roller bearings that would result in bearing noise from the front and rear rollers.

TO DECREASE THE TENSION ON THE RUNNING BELT, TURN BOTH BOLTS

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE THE SAME NUMBER OF TRUNS.

CENTRING THE RUNNING BELT

When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than with another. The severity of the deflection depends on the amount of force4 that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. This deflection can cause the belt to move off- centre. This deflection is normal and the running belt will centre when no body is on the running belt. If the running belt remains consistently off-centre, you will need to centre the running belt manually.

Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press FAST-key until speed reached 6kph.

1. Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the dec k.

If toward the left side of the deck, using wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/4.

If toward the right side of the deck, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/4.

If the belt is still not centre, repeat the above step until the running belt is on centre.

15

After the belt is centre, increase the speed to 16kph and verify that it is running smoothly.

Repeat the above steps if it is necessary.

If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolving the off-centre, you may need to increase the belt tension.

LUBRICATION

The treadmill is factory-lubricated. However, it is recommended to check the lubrication of the treadmill regularly, to ensure an optimal operation of the treadmill. It is usually not necessary to lubricate the treadmill in the first year or the first 500 hours of operation.

After every 3 months of operation, lift the sides of the treadmill and feel the surface of the belt, as far as possible. If traces of silicon spray are found, lubrication is not necessary. In case of a dry surface refer to the following instructions.

Only use oil free silicon spray.

Application of lubricant on the belt

:

Position the belt so that the seam is located in the middle of the plate.

Insert the spray valve in the spray head of the lubricant container.

Lift the belt at one side and hold the spray valve in a distance to the front end of striding belt and plate. Start at the front end of the belt. Lead the spray valve in direction of the back end. Repeat this process on the other side of the belt. Spray each side for about 4 seconds.

Wait 1 minute to let the silicon spray spread, before starting the machine.

CLEANING:

Regular cleaning of the striding belt ensures a long product life.

Warning

: The treadmill must be turned off to avoid electrical shocks. The power cord must be pulled out of the socket, before starting the cleaning or maintenance.

After each training

: Wipe the console and other surfaces with a clean soft and damp cloth to remove sweat residues

Caution

: Do not use any abrasives or solvents. To avoid damage to the computer, keep any liquids away. Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight.

Weekly

: To make the cleaning easier it is recommended to use a mat for the treadmill. Shoes can leave dirt on the striding belt that can fall beneath the treadmill. Clean the mat under the treadmill once a week.

16

STORAGE:

Store you treadmill in a clean and dry environment. Ensure the master power switch is off and is un-plugged from the electrical wall outlet.

General fitness tips

Start your exercise programme slowly, i.e. one exercise unit every 2 days. Increase your exercise session week by week. Begin with short periods per exercise and then increase these continually.

Start slowly with the exercise sessions and don’t set yourself impossible targets. In addition to these exercises, do other forms of exercise such as jogging, swimming, dancing and/or cycling.

Always warm up thoroughly before exercising. To do so, carry out at least five minutes of stretching or gymnastic exercises to avoid muscle strains and injuries.

Check your pulse regularly. If you do not have a pulse measuring instrument, ask your

GP how you can measure your heart rate effectively. Determine your personal exercise frequency range to achieve optimal training success. Take into account both your age and your level of fitness. The table on page 16 will give you a reference point for determining the optimal exercise pulse.

Make sure you breathe regularly and calmly when exercising.

Take care to drink enough while exercising. This ensures that the liquid requirement of your body is satisfied. Consider that the recommended drinking amount of 2-3 litres per day is strongly increased through physical strain. The fluid you drink should be at room temperature.

When exercising on the device always wear light and comfortable clothing as well as sports shoes. Do not wear any loose clothing that could tear or become caught in the device whilst exercising.
