Owner’s Manual
V. OPERATING THE TREADMILL
TURN POWER ON
WARNING!
NEVER use this
treadmill without first
securing the safety
tether clip to your
clothing.
CAUTION!
For your safety, step
onto the belt when the
speed is no more
than 2 Km/H.
NEVER start the
treadmill at a running
speed and attempt to
get on while it is
moving fast.
NOTE!
The deck should NOT
be folded unless the
elevation is at 0%
grade. Attempts to
fold the deck while it
is elevated may
cause damage to the
frame.
The ON/OFF switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the back
of the motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.
SAFETY TETHER KEY AND CLIP
The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall.
Therefore, the safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to an immediate stop. At
high speeds, it may be uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete
stop immediately. So, use the safety key as emergency stop only. To bring the
treadmill to a complete stop safely and comfortably, use the red stop button.
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into the key holder
at the side of the console. The other end of the safety key should be securely clipped
to your clothing so that in case you fall, you will pull the safety key from the console,
which will stop the treadmill immediately to minimize injury. For your safety, never use
the treadmill without securing the safety key clipped to your clothing. Pull on the safety
key clip to make sure it will not come off your clothing.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL
Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while
getting on or off. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the
running belt. Straddle the running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the
treadmill deck. Place your foot on the belt only after the belt has begun to move at a
consistent slow speed.
During exercise, keep your body and head facing forward at all times. Never attempt to
turn around on the treadmill when the running belt is still moving. When you have
finished exercising, stop the treadmill by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the
treadmill comes to a complete stop before attempting to get off the treadmill.
If you feel uneasy with the speed and are not sure how to stop, hold the handlebars, lift
your feet off the running belt and place on both sides of the side landing. The side
landing is a non-moving platform and would be a good place to rest before resuming the
workout. Always remember to start at a low speed for your safety and comfort.

PULSE FUNCTION
This treadmill features wireless heart rate monitoring, the most advanced technology to
date for accurate read out of your heartbeat.
To use the wireless pulse monitoring system, you must wear the heart rate transmitter
chest strap (sold separately) so that the contact surface is next to your skin directly under
your heart to pick up the pulse signals.
Please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Also note that mobile
phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around
them, which may also cause problems in heart rate measurement.
T501 is also designed to pick up heart rate information via the contact sensors located on the left
and and right hand rails.
To use the contact heart rate, place your hands gently but firmly around the contact sensors on
the hand rails.
Movements in the hands may cause difficuity for the treadmill to pick up the
signal properly.
When signal is picked up, the LCD show flash “HR” signal to the rate of your
heartbeat.
PAUSE FUNCTION
When STOP button is pressed during workout, program is suspended. The LCD will
display “PAUSE”. After the running belt has come to a complete stop, the LCD display
window will count down from 3:00. During pause mode, only START or STOP button will
function.
If STOP is pressed within three minutes during the pause mode, the treadmill will bring
the running belt movement back to the speed at which the treadmill was before paused.
Workout values will resume counting and continue where they left off.

VII. EXERCISE TIPS AND GUIDELINES
STRETCH
CAUTION!
Always consult your
physician before
beginning any
exercise program.
Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related
injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Hold for a count
of 10. DO NOT bounce. Repeat the stretch exercises again after cool down will help
to loosen and relax your muscles to prevent soreness.
WARM UP
The first five minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. This warm up will
limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Warm up on the
treadmill by walking at slow speed.
COOL DOWN
NEVER stop exercising suddenly. A cool down period of about 5 minutes will allow your
heart to re-adjust to the decreased demand. Use a low speed setting during the cool
down to gradually lower your heart rate.
HOW OFTEN ?
It is most often recommended that you exercise at least three to four times a week to
maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight loss or fat loss,
you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it is three days
or six days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime
habit.
HOW LONG ?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it is recommended that you exercise for about thirty
minutes per session. Always Dial Switch slowly, especially if you have been sedentary
during the past year. In the beginning, you may begin with as little as 5 minutes per
session. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. As your body adjusts,
gradually increase your workout time per session.
If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found
to be most effective. A workout time of 45-50 minutes or more is recommended for best
weight loss results.
Owner’s Manual
19
CAUTION!
HOW HARD?
For your health and
safety, DO NOT over
exert yourself.
How hard you work out is determined by your goal. Regardless of your fitness goals,
always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to
be painful to be beneficial !
CAUTION!
There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by evaluating your
perceived exertion level and the second is by monitoring your heart rate.
If you experience chest
pains, nausea,
dizziness or shortness
of breath, STOP
exercising immediately
and consult your
physician before
continuing.

During exercise, if you cannot maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working
too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion.
If you cannot catch your breath, it is time to slow down. Always be aware of other
warning signs of overexertion.
To monitor your heart rate you can use a pulse monitor or take your pulse with your
fingers. Pulse monitors are convenient tools for monitoring your heart rate. However,
these values are for reference only. You should always listen to your body first.
You can measure your pulse with your fingers by placing your first two fingers lightly over
the blood vessel (carotid artery) on your neck located next to your Adam’s apple. Count
your pulse for ten seconds and multiply by six. This figure is your heart rate in beats
per minute. Compare this number to the Target Heart rate zone for your age group.
CALCULATING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
The most common method for calculating your target heart rate is to find your maximum
heart rate. The standard formula is: 220 - your age = maximum heart rate.
You DO NOT want to work out at your maximum heart rate. Instead you should work
out in your target heart rate zone. Your target heart rate zone is a percentage of your
maximum heart rate. The AHA (American Heart Association) recommends working out
at a target heart rate zone of between 60% - 75% of your maximum heart rate. If you
are just beginning a program, exercise near or below the lower limit of your target zone.
Lower limit of target zone = maximum heart rate x 0.60
Upper limit of target zone = maximum heart rate x 0.75
Maximum heart rate (for user age 30) = 220 – 30 = 190
60% of max HR = 190 x .60 = 114
75% of max HR = 190 x .75 = 142
If you have not been exercising on a regular basis, it is recommended that you Dial
Switch slower. It may be advised that you use 114 to begin as your target heart rate.
If you find this pace too difficult to maintain, go to a lower target heart rate. As you
become stronger, you may want to increase your target heart rate.

When you run or walk, you may push off harder with one foot than the other. This will
cause the running belt to run off centered. This treadmill is designed and built to
ensure proper tracking of the belt is always centered on the deck. Occasionally the
belt may need further adjustment to keep it centered. To center the belt, use the
enclosed Allen wrench to adjust the rear roller position.
BELT CENTERING PROCEDURE
1. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neckties or loose jewelry while making this
adjustment.
2. NEVER turn the bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time.
3. Always tighten one side and loosen the other to prevent over tightening or over
loosening the belt.
4. Run the treadmill. Adjust belt while the treadmill is running at 4 Mi/H (6.4 Km/H)
with no person on the belt.
After making the adjustment, walk on the belt for five minutes to test. If necessary,
repeat the procedure but NEVER turn the bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Over
tightening the belt can significantly shorten the belt life.
IF BELT TOO FAR TO THE LEFT SIDE:
1. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)
2. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)
IF BELT TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE:
1. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)
2. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)

RUNNING BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION!
Over tightening of the
belt will severely
shorten the life of the
belt and may cause
further damage to other
components.
If you place your feet on the belt and feel a slipping sensation, then the belt has
stretched and is slipping across the rollers. All belts will stretch over time. This is a
normal and common adjustment on any treadmill. To eliminate this slipping, tension
both Allen bolts on the rear roller 1/4 turn. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER turn the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
DRIVE BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing a slipping sensation, call
your dealer. Only an authorized dealer should perform tensioning of the drive belt.
LUBRICATING THE DECK
NOTE!
A well lubricated deck
will ensure longevity of
your treadmill in addition
to providing you with the
optimal performance.
.
A well-lubricated deck will ensure high performance of your treadmill and reduce the level
of normal wear and tear to important components. This treadmill has been pre-lubed at
the factory. However, for optimal performance, the running deck may require periodic
lubrication. With average usage (30 minute workout at 5-6 Km/H 3 times a week for
two people) lubricate every six months. You may adjust the timing of the lubrication
based on the intensity of the treadmill use level.
To check the lubrication level, simply lift the running belt, and put your hand as far into
the center of the belt as you can reach. If your hand shows signs of silicone, then it
does not need additional lubrication. If the board feels dry and there is very little
evidence of silicone on your hand, then additional lubrication should be added.
TO LUBRICATE THE DECK:
1. Stop running belt so that the seam is located on top and in the center of the deck.
2. Insert nozzle into spray head of lubricant can.
3. Lift running belt.
4. Position nozzle between the belt and the board approximately 200mm (8”) from the
front of the treadmill.
5. Apply the silicon from the front to the rear of the treadmill on each side of the
treadmill. Try to reach the spray as far into the center of the running deck as
possible. The spray time should be approximately four seconds for each side.
6. Spread the silicon by running the treadmill at 1 Km/H and step gently on the belt
from left to right. Do that for a few minutes and allow the silicon to soak into the
belt.
