IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1.
2.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.
Use the treadmill only as described in this manual.
10.
Wear appropriate exercise clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women.
Always wear athletic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.
3.
Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 2m (8 ft.) of clearance behind it.
Do not place the treadmill on any surface that blocks air openings. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.
11.
When connecting the power cord (See
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 14), plug the power cord into an earthed circuit. When replacing the fuse, an ASTA approved BS1362 type should be fitted to the fuse carrier. A 13 amp fuse should be used. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.
4.
5.
When choosing a location for the treadmill, make sure that the location and position permit access to a plug.
12.
Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
13.
If you need an extension cord, use only a 14-gauge cord of 1.5 m (5 ft.) or less in length.
6.
Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.
7.
Keep children away from the treadmill at all times even whilst the treadmill is being stored in its upright folded position
(See page 21) Please also keep all pets away from the treadmill at all times.
15.
14.
Never move the walking belt whilst the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly.
Never start the treadmill whilst you are standing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails whilst using the treadmill.

The treadmill should not be used by persons weighing more than 130 kg
(286lbs).

Page 4
www.branxfitness-helpdesk.co.uk
17.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user’s
23.
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
24.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

20.
Do not change the incline of the treadmill by placing objects under the treadmill.
25.
You must always stand on the footplates which are adjacent to the running belt whilst the treadmill is on and the running belt is stationary. Only once the running belt is moving the user can step onto it and begin to walk/jog/run. This avoids excessive load on the belt and motor during the start up process.

DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product — if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO FOLD, MOVE & RELEASE THE TREADMILL
HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Unplug the power cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 25 kg (55 lbs.) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown directly below.
CAUTION:
To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back.
Raise the treadmill fully until the running deck is locked into position. You will hear a “Click” sound as the locking wheel pin engages with the slot in the sliding locking bar.
2. Gently tighten the locking wheel pin. Your treadmill has now been safely folded.
storage position.
4. Your treadmill should now be in its desired location.
Please always take caution if moving the treadmill upstairs or to a new property or out building etc.
For such moves it is always recommended to instruct a qualified engineer from Branx Fitness (at a cost) or to disassemble the treadmill safely to assume the flat packed position and refit assembly brackets and screws etc before attempting to lift, as recommended in the set up instructions section. The treadmill should also be secured into the original packaging for significant moves to ensure no damage comes to the treadmill.
HOW TO LOWER (RELEASE) THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1. Ensure that the area in which your treadmill running deck will occupy in its unfolded state is clear, clean and flat.
2. Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the treadmill to the floor.
CAUTION:
To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.
3. Push gently against the fixed running deck in the direction of the console to remove the load from the locking wheel pin. Then pull the locking wheel pin (twist if required to enable its release) to disengage from the sliding bar.
4. On the release, the treadmill running deck hydraulic strut will take care of the rest, ensuring a safe, smooth, quiet and controlled decent of the running deck without any guidance required from the user.
5. The treadmill should now be ready to use.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position in temperatures above 30° C (85° F).
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the storage position as described above.
Make sure that you have gently tightened the locking wheel pin and gently test before moving that the treadmill looks and feels safe enough for you to move it.
1. Ensure that the area in which your treadmill will be moving to is clear, clean and flat.
2. Tilt the treadmill forward until it rolls freely on its wheels.
It is recommended that the treadmill is moved by 2 persons at all times. To reduce the risk of injury , use extreme caution whilst moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over an uneven surface.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If you prefer to see all in video format please visit: http://www.branxfitness.co.uk/video-tutorials for all our video tutorials of general maintenance etc and for all FAQ’s (frequently asked questions)
Your treadmill is an advanced electromechanical device that delivers high performance exercise options for you. To ensure the treadmill does you well it is imperative that you carry out the cleaning and maintenance operations as outlined in this section. If in any doubt and after watching our video tutorials etc you still feel you are uncomfortable or not willing to carry out these procedures you can email us at: [email protected] and we can arrange for one of our fully qualified technicians to visit you and do what is required. There will be a charge for this and our team will advise you of this beforehand at all times.
Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the lifetime of your treadmill.
Performance is maximised when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.
WARNING: THE BELT/DECK FRICTION MAY PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE FUNCTION
AND LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL AND THAT IS WHY WE RECOMMEND YOU CONSTANTLY
LUBRICATE THIS FRICTION POINT TO PROLONG THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL.
FAILING TO DO THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
WARNING: UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: STOP TREADMILL BEFORE FOLDING
Placement in your Home
This treadmill should not be placed outdoors, in a garage or an outbuilding. Keep the treadmill in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible. We recommend placing a mat beneath the treadmill, to protect both the treadmill and your flooring.
Care & Maintenance
Always place the equipment in a dry environment.
Use a warm, damp cloth to keep the product clean.
No wet cleaning of electrical components. Unplug before any care and maintenance.
The safety level of the equipment can be maintained only if it is regularly examined for damage and wear. This includes any ropes, pulleys, nuts, bolts, moving parts, bushes, chains, wheels, bearings & connection points etc.
Ensure that you inspect the product regularly-at least once a week is recommended.
Ensure that all fixings are tight before use.
Always replace damaged/worn components with original parts from the manufacturer.
Lubrication
An insufficiently lubricated deck will cause the belt, running deck and motor to wear out much quicker. How often you should lubricate depends on usage, we recommend the following:
• Light use (less than 3 hours a week) –every 8 months
• Medium use (3 to 5 hours a week) –every 4 months
Page 34
www.branxfitness-helpdesk.co.uk
• Heavy use (more than 5 hours a week) –every 2 months
Keeping the deck lubricated is the most important activity you can carry out to prolong the life of your treadmill. If in doubt, apply a little lubricant.
You can check for proper lubrication levels at any time by doing the following:
1. Disconnect the treadmill from the power supply.
2. Fold up the running deck, so the treadmill is in the storage position.
3. Put your hand underneath the mat and feel along the running deck, as close to the centre of the deck as you can:
• If your hand gets a light coating of lubricant then no further lubrication is required.
• If the surface feels dry and your hand feels clean, then apply more lubricant.
Your treadmill comes ready supplied with a bottle of lubrication oil to use, apply a liberal amount to a lint free cloth and run the cloth along the length of the running deck (underneath the mat).
It’s important to try and get the lubricant as close to centre of the deck as possible. Check the lubrication level as detailed above and re-apply with the cloth if necessary.
If you need more lubricant, we recommend you use the Branx Fitness Treadmill Lubrication
Kit. Visit www.branxfitness.co.uk
How to Lubricate Your Running Deck
To see a video of this being done please visit:
http://www.branxfitness.co.uk/video-tutorials
1. Ensure your treadmill is in the flat position.
2. Turn off the treadmill power by positioning the power switch to the off position and then turn off the plug at the mains wall socket and then remove the plug from the wall socket. This is imperative for maintaining your safety at all times.
3. Using a clean cloth, lift the belt and clean all existing dust and debris.
4. Now that the deck has been cleaned and you have hovered up the dust from doing so its time to apply the lubricant to the deck.
Page 35
www.branxfitness-helpdesk.co.uk
5. Lift your running belt and apply 10/12ml under both sides of your treadmill matt (See picture on page 35). Or apply a liberal amount to a lint free cloth and run the cloth along the length of the running deck (underneath the mat NOT on the matt/belt itself). Focusing as close on the strike zoon as possible, this is the area where your feet are mainly in contact with the treadmill belt and running deck.
6. Now turn back on the treadmill power by plugging the plug back into the mains wall socket and then positioning the power switch to the on position (See diagram on page 14) on the treadmill. Don’t forget to attach the safety key.
7. Step on to the treadmill, using the foot plates first, attach your safety key to your clothing for safety reasons and then start the treadmill and walk on the running belt for approximately a
2/3 minutes to spread the lubricant evenly.
8. The lubrication procedure is now completed and you can stop the treadmill and turn it off.
Always keeping safety in mind as your number one priority.
CAUTION:
Please keep lubricant away from children and babies at all times. Keep the lubricant away from clothes, wash hands after use and avoid contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water should contact with eyes occur and seek medical advice immediately. Always store lubricant out of reach of babies and children.
Adjusting Running Belt Tension (if the belt is slipping or becomes loose)
The tension of the running belt has been pre-set at the factory; however, with use, the belt can stretch slightly and become loose. If the belt is too loose you will find it starts to slip during use. Check
Lubrication Before Adjusting the belt as symptoms can be similar. To tighten the belt:
1. Set the treadmill to run at 3km/h
2. Locate the adjustment screws at the end of the treadmill.
3. Using the allen key provided, adjust both screws by 1/2 turn clockwise. If the belt is too tight, turn the screws anti-clockwise (See picture above).
Do not over tighten the belt - only turn the screws 1/2 turn before re-checking the belt.
4. Re-test the belt tension. If the belt still slips, repeat step 3
TIP: when correctly tensioned you should be able to lift the edge of the belt about 5 - 7 cm - please only check this when the power is turned off.
Page 36
www.branxfitness-helpdesk.co.uk
Adjusting Running Belt Alignment (if the belt is pulling to one side)
The alignment of the mat has been pre-set at the factory, however, the mat can be caused to run out-of-line by a user’s running style (eg, more weight on one foot), or if it is placed on an uneven surface - so it may need adjusting from time to time. If the mat is running out of alignment it will track towards either the left or right hand side of the running deck.
If gaps are not alike follow adjustments below:

FITNESS GUIDE
Starting Your Workout
Begin each workout with a Warm Up session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.
1. Get onto the treadmill, using the handrails for support, and place your feet on the side rails
(either side of the running belt).
2. Activate the treadmill (using the details found in this manual).
3. The treadmill will always start at the lowest speed, step onto the mat and walk at the same speed.
4. Continue the rest of your workout.
Finishing Your Workout
1. Turn the treadmill to the lowest speed and incline settings.
2. Using the handrails for support place your feet on the side rails (either side of the running belt).
3. Stop the treadmill.
4. Turn the treadmill off at the main power switch and remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
5. Remove the safety key.
6. If necessary, wipe the treadmill down with a damp cloth.
Correct Running Form
1. Run in the centre of the running mat.
2. Keep your head erect and look straight ahead.
3. Shoulders should be square and level, don’t round your shoulders or swing them forwards or backwards.
4. Keep your torso erect with the chest up so there’s plenty of room for the diaphragm to move for proper breathing actions.
5. 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.
6. Feet should be pointed straight ahead and land directly under the hips.
Page 38
www.branxfitness-helpdesk.co.uk
Suggested Stretches
The correct form for several basic stretches are shown below. Move slowly as you stretch never bounce.
1. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall.
Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
3. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand.
Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
4. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
How Long Should I Exercise For?
That really depends on your current level of fitness. If you’re just starting out on a new exercise programme, you should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough.
Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise. It is always recommended that you seek medical advice before beginning any new fitness programme.
