including the following:
- This unit has been designed for professional use.
- Your unit can only be used by one person at a time. It can only be used by people who weigh 150kg or less.
- Place your unit on a flat surface, with at least 2 metres of free space at the rear and 1 m around. Do not place your unit on any surface that might block a ventilation opening. Place a protective sheet below your unit to protect the floor or carpet from possible damage.
- Your unit is equipped with a safety key. The safety key must be inserted into its housing, otherwise the machine will not operate. When you are using the machine always clip the cord on the safety key to your clothing. Remove the safety key whenever the machine is not being used and keep it safe from children and others.
- Make sure that the treadmill unit operates correctly before attempting to use it. Never use an appliance that might be faulty.
- The owner is responsible for ensuring that anyone who uses the machine is duly informed about all of the necessary precautions.
- Parents and/or those responsible for children must always be aware of their curious nature and how this can often lead to hazardous situations and behaviour which could cause accidents. This is why they should always be supervised. Under no circumstances should this appliance be used as a toy.
- Do not allow children or the disabled to use the appliance without the strict supervision of a qualified person.
- In the event of any emergency, place your feet on the side rails and hold onto the handrail until the unit stops.
- Use the handrail to help you get on and off the treadmill and when changing the speed. Do not jump onto the belt while it is moving.
- Keep your hands well away from any of the moving parts. Do not place your hands, feet or any other object below the treadmill belt.
- Do not stand still on the belt while it is moving.
- Use suitable clothing and footwear. Make sure that all laces/cords are tied correctly. To avoid injury and unnecessary wear on the belt, make sure that your footwear is not dirty.
- Do not use the machine outdoors.
- It is not advisable to keep your unit in a damp place for long periods as it will be prone to rust.
- Make sure not to overlubricate the unit as this might stain the floor or carpeting where the unit stands.
- Never use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
This product must have an earth connection. In the event that the appliance
malfunctions then the earth connection will redirect the electrical current
away from the machine and reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
This product is supplied with a mains cable that has an earth wire and a plug
with an earth pin.
DANGER! If the equipment is not earthed correctly then there is a risk of
electrical shock. If in doubt, get an electrician or technical specialist to
check that the earth connection is correct. Do not modify the plug supplied
with the equipment, if it does not fit the wall socket then get an electrician
to install an electrical socket that does.
This product must only be used on a 220-240 volt circuit, with an earthed
socket similar to that shown in Fig. A. Make sure that the appliance is only
connected to a wall socket with the same pin layout as the plug. Do not use an
adaptor with this appliance.
Always observe the following recommendations when using electrical appliances:
- Make sure that the mains supply voltage matches that of the machine before plugging it in. The supply voltage must be the same as that stated on the characteristics plate and the holes in wall socket must match the pins for plug on the machine.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, first put the switch to the “0” position and then unplug it from the wall socket. Always unplug the unit immediately after use and before proceeding to clean it.
- Make sure that the treadmill is switched off and unplugged before beginning any type of maintenance or assembly work on it.
- Do not unplug the treadmill by tugging on the mains cable.
- Do not use the machine if the mains cable becomes damaged or worn.
- Keep the mains cable away from hot surfaces.
SAFETY BREAKER.
This model is equipped with an electronic circuit breaker to protect both the
electronic and electrical circuits.
This safety device will be automatically triggered if the unit is subjected to
abnormal force or heat.
Should this occur:
- Set switch (L), located on the casing, to the “0” (OFF) position Fig.B.
- Press the circuit button (C) to reset the unit.
- Next, set switch (L) to the “I” (ON) position and the unit will be ready for use again.
Should the circuit breaker trip repeatedly then the most probable causes are:
-Abnormal working conditions,
-Treadmill belt in need of lubricant,
-Solvent based lubricants used (use BH type),
– Belt is too tight.
Plug the unit into a wall socket with an EARTH terminal.
Set switch (L) to Position [1].
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
Take the unit out of the box and place it on the floor as shown in Fig.0.
The assistance of a second person is advisable for the assembly work.

Follow the instructions step by step to assemble:
-
FITTING THE SIDE BARS.-
At least two people are needed to assemble the machine.
This will avoid any possible accidents.
Place the left side bar (80), Fig.1, close to the main structure and get the wires (TV, internet) through the left side bar (80). Then slightly screw the left side bar (80) to the structure using the screws (122), (123). Fit the caps (124).
Then place the right side bar (81), Fig.1, close to the main structure and get the power cable, the monitor cable and the ground cable through the right side bar (81). Then slightly screw the right side bar (81) to the structure using the screws (122), (123). Fit the caps (124). -
ATTACHING THE MONITOR TUBE.-
Take hold of the handrail (84) and connect the cables with wires sticking up out of the handlebars.
Once this is done, rest the handrail handlebar on top of the focus bars, making sure not to catch any of the cables.
Now tighten using the screws (121), Fig.2.
Tighten the screws of the side bars of the previous steps.
Attach the fixing support (8) onto the structure using the screws (55), Fig.3. -
ATTACHING THE MONITOR.-
Place the monitor support (85) on the tray (84), fix it with the screws (122) and fasten securely, Fig.4.
Remove the screws from back cover of the monitor and remove the back cover, Fig.5.
Connect the wires coming out of the monitor with the wires coming out of the tray. Remove the screws from the back part of the monitor. Place the monitor on the support and fix it with the previously removed screws.
Next fix the rear cover using the previously removed screws, making sure that the wires are not pressed, Fig.6.
MOVEMENT & STORAGE.
The unit is equipped with wheels (71), Fig.7 to make it easier to move. Make
sure that the mains cable is unplugged from the wall socket.
To prevent accidents DO NOT move the treadmill across uneven floors.
MAINTENANCE.
Use the bottle of lubricant (156) to lubricate the inside of the belt Fig.8 in
order to keep your unit in top condition and to ensure that friction between
the belt and the board is kept to a minimum (due to different running styles,
always apply more lubrication to the area where you place your feet during the
exercise).
It is advisable to lubricate the base of the belt between the board and the
band depending on how often it is used.
| Hours per week
---|---
Speed (km/h)| | <3| 3-7| >7
<6| 1 year| 6 months| 3 months
6-12| 6 months| 3 months| 2 months
12| 3 months| 2 months| 1 month
Note: This preventive maintenance schedule is only meant for home use.
It is suggested to maintain the unit every month for commercial use.
If the belt starts to slip after lubrication, then check the tension of the
belt. To tension the belt, take the 6mm Allen key and with the machine set to
4km/h turn screws (R & L) one turn in a clockwise direction.
ADJUSTING THE BELT.-
If your unit is not seated evenly on the four contact points, this may cause
the belt (X) to shift sideways. Rigorous quality control adjusts and checks
the running belt.
However, due to weight differences and individual styles of running, the belt
may be prone to shift sideways. If the belt does shift to the left or right,
stop the machine.
BELT OFFSET TO THE RIGHT.-
This procedure is very important. Follow these steps. In order to adjust the
belt, set the unit in motion at a speed of 4km/h.
If the belt has moved to the right, turn screw (R) on the right-hand side of
the machine a 1⁄4 turn clockwise. Note the position of the belt, if after one
minute the belt is not completely centred then repeat the operation. If you
see that the belt has moved too far over to the left then turn the right screw
back slightly in an anticlockwise direction Fig.9.
As soon as you have adjusted the belt you can begin exercising again.
BELT OFFSET TO THE LEFT.-
In the event that the belt has moved to the left, turn screw (L) on the left-
hand side of the machine a 1⁄4 turn clockwise. Note the position of the belt,
if after one minute the belt is not completely centred then repeat the
operation. If you see that the belt has moved too far over to the right then
turn the left screw back slightly in an anticlockwise direction Fig.9.
Important: Overtightening of the belt can lead to a loss of speed on the
machine and even stretch the belt itself. Bear In mind that one turn of the
right screw (R) in a clockwise direction has the same effect on the position
of the belt as one turn of the left screw (L) in an anticlockwise direction.
Consequently, in the event of excessive belt movement you can use either of
the two screws in order to avoid overtightening the belt.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
FITNESS.
Being fit means living life to the full. Modern society suffers greatly from
stress. City life is basically sedentary.
There are too many calories and too much fat in our diet. All doctors agree
that regular exercise is a good way to control our weight, make us fitter and
help us to relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE.-
Regular exercise below a certain level for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic.
Aerobic exercise is basically exercise that uses oxygen. Normally, this is a
continuous exercise without pauses. In addition to sugars and fats, the body
also needs oxygen. Regular exercise improves the body’s ability to supply
oxygen to all of the muscles and at the same time improve lung function, the
heart’s pumping capacity and better blood circulation. In short, the energy
produced during exercise burns kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT CONTROL.
The food we eat is transformed into, among other things, energy (calories) for
our body. If we take in more calories than we burn then the result is an
increase in weight and vice versa, if we burn more calories than we eat, we
lose weight. When resting the body burns around 70 calories per hour to keep
our vital functions active.
MONITOR THE HEART BEAT.-
The body’s work rate is reflected by the rate of the heart beat (pulsations)
which increases as the work rate increases. The effort in your treadmill
depends on the speed. If you increase the speed, the work rate and the heart
rate increase too. If the work rate maintains constant, the heart rate
increases up to a point where no matter how much work increases the heart does
not beat any faster. This is known as the maximum heart rate and it decrease
with age. A familiar formula for calculating this maximum heart rate, where
exhaustion sets in, is 22 minus age. Exercising should be carried out at
between 65% to 85% of the maximum heart rate for 15-20 mins and it is
recommentded that is should not exceed 85%.
Example: 50 years old
220-50=170 puls
Heart rate | Pulsations |
---|---|
Maximum | 170 |
85% | 144 |
75% | 127 |
65% | 112 |
EXERCISE PROGRAM.
Before starting any exercise program, bearing in mind that exercise programs
vary depending on age and physical condition, it is advisable to consult your
doctor given that you will achieve better results based on his/her advice or
suggestions. Regardless of whether your goal is to become fitter, control your
weight or for physiotherapy, always remember that your exercise should be
gradual, planned, varied and not too demanding. We recommend that you should
exercise 3 to 5 times per week.
Before beginning a session it is important to do a warm-up for 2-3 minutes at
low speed. This will help protect your muscles and prepare your
cardiorespiratory system.
The next stage will last 15-20 minutes at a pulse rate of between 65 to 75%,
or between 75 to 85% for those already accustomed to exercise. At a later
stage, once we have become fitter, we can divide this time between both levels
but always remembering that the pulse rate must not exceed 85% (aerobic area)
and never reach the maximum heart rate limit that corresponds to our age.
We you have finished, it is important to relax the muscles. This can be done
by walking at a low speed for 2-3 minutes until the heart rate drops below the
65% line. This will prevent muscle pain, especially after an intense session.
It is also advisable to finish the program with some relaxation exercises on
the floor.
FINAL NOTE.
We hope that you enjoy your unit. You will soon notice the benefits of your
controlled exercise program, you will feel better, have more energy and suffer
less stress. You will see for yourself that it is worth staying in shape with
BH.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE.-
Switch the unit off and unplug the mains cable. Use a damp cloth or towel to
clean the dust off the treadmill, especially the side bars and the electronic
console. Do not use solvents.
Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully vacuum around the visible components (belt,
structure, etc.). You can also vacuum the underside of the unit by resting it
on one of its sides. Similarly, you can vacuum the inside of the motor housing
by removing the cover that protects the motor (be careful with the wires).
ATTENTION:
Periodically check that all of the fastening elements are duly tightened and
connected correctly. Check and tighten all the parts on your unit every three
months.
Use of this machine with worn parts, e.g. the drive belt, running belt or
rollers, may cause the user injury.
When in doubt about any parts on the machine, do not hesitate to get in touch
with the Technical Assistance Service by phoning customer services (see last
page in manual).
We recommend that your use original spare parts to replace any worn
components. The use of other spare parts may cause injuries or affect the
performance of the machine.
