18

GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE

How long should I exercise?

The duration of your exercise session is dependent on your fitness level. In general, it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least

10 minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. As your fitness level increases, you will be able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer periods, usually between 20 and 30 minutes.

When first starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone. At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload, then exercise lightly as a "cool down".

How often should I exercise?

Aerobic exercises, to achieve the greatest benefits, should be performed 3-5 times a week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to recover after exercise.

19

MAINTAINING YOUR TREADMILL

Your treadmill relies on low friction for peak performance. The treadmill's low friction operation is dependent on keeping the unit as clean as possible. See "Cleaning the

Treadmill" for more information.

Proper belt alignment is also important for proper operation of the treadmill. See

"Adjusting the Running Belt" for more information.

Cleaning the treadmill

CAUTION: Turn off unit and disconnect AC cord before cleaning.

Regular cleaning is recommended to keep your treadmill running at peak

Performance.

Before your workout, use a dry cloth to clean the staging platform, exposed slider deck, and under the belt as far as you easily reach. This removes any dirt or dust which might enter the slider area and compromise the unit's running efficiency.

To clean the plastic parts, use a mild detergent and make sure the unit is completely dry before operating. On the running surface, use a soft nylon scrub brush.

Do not use water to clean the belt or running surface, or to clean the electronics package. Should water, for some reason, get on the electronics package, immediately blow dry the electronics package.

It is recommended that you keep all liquids away from the unit during operation.

Spillage of liquids onto or into the machine will void the warranty.

20

Adjusting the running belt

Your treadmill comes with a belt alignment gauge located on the deck. (see Fig.11)

The edge of the running belt should be in the middle of the green portion of the gauge. If the belt edge is in the green area, the belt does not need adjusting. If the belt edge is in the red portion, the belt needs adjusting immediately.

Fig.11

If the unit with handrails

21

The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off center. Therefore, it is important that you check the belt's alignment before using the treadmill.

The correct alignment of the running belt is critical for the smooth operation of the treadmill.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO WALK ON RUNNING BELT DURING

THIS PROCEDURE.

Failure to realign the belt could result in tearing or fraying of the belt, which is not covered in the warranty. Please follow the adjustment procedure listed below:

1. Turn on the power switch located on the front of machine. Insert the SAFETY

KEY on the its position.

2. Press the SPEED ▲ key to increase the speed until the speed registers 2.0mph /

3.2kph on the digital display.

3. While the unit is running at 2.0mph/3.2kph, determine where the belt is in relation to the belt alignment gauge.

4. Should your belt be in the wrong color range, follow the steps below to return the belt to the "safety zone":

5. If the belt is in the left red zone: Turn the left belt adjustment bolt located at the rear of the treadmill clockwise 1/4 turn at a time, using the hex Allen wrench.

Then turn the right belt adjustment bolt counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Let the treadmill run 30 seconds, then check the position of the belt in the color gauge. If the belt still has not returned to the green safety zone, repeat with another 1/4 turn until the belt has returned to the middle of the green area. Do not turn adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at one time.

If the belt is on the edge of the green color, please adjust it so it is in the middle of the green color. You may turn the adjustment nut less than 1/4 turn at one time.

6. Conversely, if the belt is in the right red zone, turn the right belt adjustment nut clockwise 1/4 turn, then turn the left adjustment bolt counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

Then let the treadmill run at least 30 seconds, check the position of the belt in the color gauge. If it still has not returned to the green safety zone, repeat with another 1/4 turn until the belt has return to the middle of the green area. Do not turn adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at one time.

7. When the belt is back in the green "safety zone", you can continue your regular use of the treadmill. Slowly increase the speed of the unit to 5.5 MPH (9 KPH), and let it run for at least 45 seconds.

22

Periodically monitor the position of the belt to ensure peak performance:

When you are using the treadmill, if you feel a pause in the belt with each foot plant, the belt is too loose. Stop the machine to check the belt tension, pull the running belt up in the middle (see Fig. 12-1 & 12-2). There should be about 30 m/m (1 1/8") or 3 kgs of "give" in the belt (see Fig. 12-3). If there is too much, adjust both rear roller bolts clockwise 1/2 turn at a time (see Fig. 12-1). Then, check the belt tension again, if more adjusting is required, give both adjusting bolts another slight turn. Do not adjust over 2 full turns.

Fig.12-2

Fig.12-3

Fig.12-1

If the unit with handrails

Fig.12-2

Fig.12-3

Fig.12-1

23

Conversely, if there is not enough "give", adjust both rear roller bolts counterclockwise 1/2 turn at a time.

CAUTION: To avoid injury, special care must be taken when adjusting the running belt. Remove any loose clothing or shoelaces and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers or any other objects clear of the belt and rollers.

The treadmill is designed to carry specific weights at specific speeds. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.

Over tightening of the belt causes damage and premature failure of the precision bearings in the front and rear rollers.
