About Your Treadmill Base

Unique Features

Intelli-Guard™
Walk confidently knowing your safety is assured with Intelli-Guard™. Step away from your treadmill for more than twenty seconds and your treadmill’s belt will automatically glide to a smooth stop.
Intelli-Step™
Never miss a stride with Intelli-Step™. Your steps are automatically calculated with meticulous precision, displaying immediate feedback and historical trends via your Club account.
Club Membership
Every treadmill comes with a full membership in the Club, LifeSpan’s award- winning health and fitness software. Keep track of all your activity and information in one secure location.

Maintenance and Tips

Daily Cleaning
It is recommended to wipe the treadmill down after each use to keep the treadmill clean and dry. A mild detergent may be used at times to help remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and the display.

Monthly Cleaning
This cleaning includes removing the motor cover and cleaning around the motor and electronics. It is recommended to clean the motor compartment if the treadmill is in an area where there might be plush carpet fibers that could get pulled up into the motor compartment. It is a good idea at this time to tighten all assembly hardware and check power cord for damage, or anything else that would indicate the need for service.

Safety and Integrity
The safety and integrity designed into the machine can only be maintained when the treadmill is regularly examined for damage and repaired. Worn
or damaged components shall be replaced immediately or the treadmill be removed from service until the repair is made. Pay special attention to components most susceptible to wear.

WARNING: Keep treadmill stable on flat ground.
WARNING: Unplug the power cord before removing the motor cover.

IMPORTANT: If service is required, turn the power off and remove the power cord to ensure the unit cannot be used. Let all other users know the treadmill needs service.
CAUTION: Acidic cleaning detergents may damage painted or powder coated surfaces and should not be used. Such cleaners may void the LifeSpan warranty.

Maintenance and Tips

Belt Lubrication
Use only 100% silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include additives and petroleum distillates. One ounce of silicone should be used for each application. LifeSpan offers 100% silicone lubricant that can be ordered at www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The walking belt comes pre-lubricated from the factory. The TR1200B should be lubricated every 50 hours of use. The TR5000B comes with a maintenance free belt and doesn’t require lubrication.
To lubricate, unplug your TR1200B. Slide your hand under the belt and lift the belt away from the deck. Apply about a dozen sprays toward the center of the belt from each side. Rotate the belt 1/3 and repeat this application. Rotate another 1/3 and repeat once more. Plug the treadmill in and walk for a few minutes to disperse lube evenly.

NOTE: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is on a surface that can be easily cleaned. After lubricating clean any excess silicone off the walking surface of the belt and side rails.

Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip and needs to be tensioned, tension bolts are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 mph (5 kph).

  • Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.
  • Test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat step A and test again.

Note: Adjusting one side more than the other will cause the belt to drift to the side of the treadmill and will require belt alignment. Check to be sure the running belt is still aligned. If belt alignment is off as shown below, refer to Belt Alignment section.

LifeSpan-DT3-Treadmill-Desk- \(7\) CAUTION: DO NOT tighten more than 2 full turns on each side.
Over tensioning the belt can cause unnecessary friction and wear and tear on the belt, motor and electronics.

Belt Alignment

  • Press Start, then increase the treadmill speed to 3 mph (5 kph).
  • Stand behind the treadmill to see which way the belt is drifting.
  • If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turnclockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.(See FIG. 1)
  • If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turncounter-clockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise.(See FIG. 2)
  • Observe the alignment for two minutes. Repeat steps A-D as needed.

Treadmill Desk Innovative Features
Intelli-StepTM – LifeSpan treadmill desks come with Intelli-Step our exclusive step counting feature that senses each time your foot lands on the walking belt and counts your step total on the display console. If you’re in the habit of counting daily steps or want to incorporate a daily or weekly step count goal this feature will provide more accurate step counting than using a smartwatch or other wearable step counting device on your wrist. Accuracy does require that the treadmill desk is able to detect your steps and will be less accurate for those who walk lightly including those individuals under a 100 pounds
(45.5 KG).

Treadmill Desk Console Overview
Intelli-Guard™ – This unique safety feature is engaged when the treadmill belt speed reaches 1.0 MPH (1.6 KPH) or faster and automatically pauses the belt 20 seconds after you stop walking, ensuring that no one else steps on the treadmill desk without noticing that its already running. When Intelli-Guard senses that the treadmill is no longer being used, after 20 seconds the audible beep will first notify you that the treadmill belt is going to pause. This feature can be controlled in Personal Settings.
Personal Settings – there are several features that can be set using our Personal Settings feature to tailor LifeSpan treadmill desks to your specific preferences. These include:

  • Maximum Speed: Select 2mph (3.2kph) or 4mph (6.4 kph) maximum speed options.
  • Intelli-Guard Selection: On / Off setting
  • Resume Speed: after pressing pause and returning to the treadmill desk the default belt speed will be .4 mph (.6 kph) which is the normal starting speed. The resume starting speed can be modified to default to return to the previous speed.

In addition, the following features are applicable to treadmill desk users.

  • Audible Safety Beep: On / Off setting. Each time the control buttons on the console are depressed an audible beep is used as an alert that a change was made. This is designed to prevent accidental speed adjustments being made without users being aware that they may be accidentally depressing a button.
  • Metric versus Standard Readouts: Change the display readouts for speed and distance to Metric or back to standard readouts.
  • Charging Port: This port can be used to charge your wireless mobile devices.

NOTE: You will not be able to save your workout data to a USB via this port; it is used for charging purposes only.

Treadmill Desk Troubleshooting

The LifeSpan Treadmill Desk is designed and manufactured to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may help you find the cause.

  • Problem: The console is erratic or not lighting up.
  • Solution: Check to make sure the treadmill is properly plugged in. Turn the power switch off and make sure the safety key is in place. Make sure the console wire connector is properly plugged in.
