MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the lifetime of this unit. Performance is maximized when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.

WARNING:

• The mat/deck friction may lay 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.
• Unplug power cord before maintenance.
• Stop treadmill before folding

GENERAL CLEANING

• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task should be done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
• On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.

GENERAL CARE

• Check parts for wear before use.
• Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.
• Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
• If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact us.

Take care to protect carpets and floor in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains moving parts which have been greased/lubricated and could leak.

BELT/DECK/ROLLER LUBRICATION
The mat/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. You should apply lubrication after approximately the first 25 hours of operation.

We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:

• Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months.
• Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months.
• Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.

See below the procedures for lubricating:

1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and the deck.
2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of the belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is turned off and the power is disconnected).
3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak performance. If the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before relubricating is necessary.

NOTE : DO NOT over lubricate running deck. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped off.

HOW TO CHECK THE RUNNING MAT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the underside surface of the running mat.

If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
We recommend that you use a silicone based spray to lubricate your treadmill. This can be purchased directly from us or any hardware store.

ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT

The running belt is pre-adjusted to the running deck at the factory, but after prolonged use it can stretch and require readjustment.
To adjust the belt, turn on the main power switch of the treadmill and let the belt run at a speed of 8-10 KPH. Use the Allen Wrench provided to turn the rear roller adjustment bolts in order to centre the belt. If the running belt is shifting to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise, and the running belt should start to correct itself.

If the running belt is shifting to the right, then turn the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise, and the belt should start to correct itself. Keep turning the adjustment bolts until the running belt is properly centered .

If the running belt is slipping during use, turn off and unplug the treadmill. Using the Allen Wrench provided, turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts 1/4 turn clockwise, then turn the main power switch back on and run the treadmill at a speed of 8-10 KPH. Run on to the running belt to determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat this procedure until the belt no longer slips.

REPLACING MOTOR BRUSHES

After extended use, the motor brushes in your treadmill motor will wear down, and this can lead to motor failure. It is important that you maintain your motor by replacing the brushes on either side of the motor when they are worn down. We recommend that you check your motor every 1000 hours of usage.

IMPORTANT:
Before beginning the replacement of your motor brush, ensure that the treadmill is off and unplugged from the electrical socket.

1. Remove the cover from the motor by squeezing it from the sides.
2. You will find the motor brush held in with a clip, with the lead plugged in.
3. Pull the clip out from its position.
4. Hold the clip out of the way with a screwdriver or similar object. Keep the screwdriver in this position until step 9.
5. Some treadmill motors may use a push clip instead. In this case, gently push the clip inwards and then up to release it from its latch.
6. Remove the clip, noting the direction in which it was originally placed, and put it safely aside.
7. Slide the motor brush out from its slot. If the brush is shorter than 5mm on the longest side, you will need to replace both brushes.
8. Slide the motor brush lead off the terminal using another small screwdriver or needle nosed pliers.
9. Plug the new motor brush lead into the terminal.
10. Slide the new motor brush into the slot
11. Release the clip back into its position.
12. If your motor uses a push clip, replace the push clip by pushing it inwards and then down so that it engages the catch
13. Check that the motor brush is held firmly in place by the clip, and that the lead is plugged securely onto the terminal.
14. Replace the motor cover. Repeat steps 1-15 for the second brush located on the opposing side of the motor.
15. You have now successfully replaced the motor brushes. We also recommend that you remove any dirt and dust from your treadmill motor fan using a vacuum cleaner before replacing the cover.

EXERCISE GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre- existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general

• Exercising is great way to control your weight, improve your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
• The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
• So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

WARM UP

• Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
• After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes
The most important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more calories you will bur
