SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This product must have an earth connection. If 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:

1. 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 the wall socket must match the pins for the plug on the machine.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, first put the switch in the “0” position and then unplug it from the wall socket. Always unplug the unit immediately after use and before proceeding to clean it.
3. Make sure that the treadmill is switched off and unplugged before beginning any type of maintenance or assembly work on it.
4. Do not unplug the treadmill by tugging on the main cable.

4. Next fix the rear cover using the previously removed screws, making sure that the wires are not pressed, Fig.6, II.

MOVEMENT & STORAGE

• The unit is equipped with wheels (35), 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 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.

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.

THE BELT IS OFFSET TO THE RIGHT

• This procedure is very important. Follow these steps. 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 ccenteredthen 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.

THE BELT OFFSET TO THE LEFT

• If the belt has moved to the left, turn the 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 centered 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 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 ofthe 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 screwstoo avoid overtightening the belt.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FITNESS

Being fit means living life to the full. Modern society suffers greatly from stress. City life is 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 an 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 improves 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 heartbeat (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 decreases 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 recommended thatits should not exceed 85%.

Example: 50 years old
220-50=170 puls

Aerobic zone

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,p lanned, 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 remember 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.
