Installation Procedure

1. First, open the package, take the main body out of the box, and lay it flat on the carpet or cushions. And the tail of the treadmill should be slightly padded with packaging material.

2. As shown in step ① of the figure, raise the left riser and right riser up to the limit position. As shown in step ② of the figure, pass an “M845 Screw” through the Φ8.5 Flat washer to lock the riser by using a “5MM Hex wrench”. As shown in step ③ of the figure, pass an “M816 Screw” through the Φ9 Spacer to lock the riser by using a “5MM Hex wrench”.（The riser installation on the other side is the same as in step ② and step ③ above).

3. As shown in step ④ of the figure above, use a “5MM Hex wrench” to rotate two “M810 Screws” counterclockwise 1-2 times and adjust the angle of the console to the proper position according to the arrow as shown above. Lock the console clockwise with the “M810 Screw” by using a “5MM Hex wrench”.
   Insert the left and right handlebars into the left and right risers respectively and fix them with four “M8*10 Screws” as shown in step ⑤ above. (Note: The handlebars should be parallel to risers).

4. As shown in the right figure, lift the running platform until it is stuck in the air spring sleeve.

5. As shown in step ⑥ of the figure below, fix two moving trundles on the main frame with two “M6*12 Screws”. (Note: The one side of the moving trundle with nut must face the direction of the running belt).

6. As shown in step ⑦ of the figure below, install the left and right tail housings on the main frame with two “ST4.2*16 Bolts”. (As for how to put down the running platform, please refer to page 10: Treadmill Folding and Moving Instructions).

7. As shown in step ⑧ of the figure below, draw the red “Safety lock” into the yellow box on the console and the installation is completed. Plug in, turn on the power switch below the front end of the treadmill, and enter standby mode.
   Note: Please check again whether all bolts are locked after the assembly of this treadmill.

Treadmill Folding and Moving Instructions

1. Folding treadmill: Folding up the treadmill can save space. Before folding, turn off the power switch, pull the plug, and lift the running platform with your hands until the running platform isstuck by the air spring sleeve. (As shown in figure 1).

2. Putting down the treadmill: Lightly step on the air spring sleeve with your foot as shown in figure 2 below and the running platform will descend slowly to the ground.
   Note: When performing this step, please do not let children be around to avoid being crushed or hit.

3. After finishing the folding treadmill, fix one side of the base frame with your feet, and pull the handlebar back with both hands to tilt the machine backward.

   (When the moving wheel is not on the ground, do not drag the treadmill directly, so as not to damage the four foot pads under the treadmill).
   Note: Please move the treadmill to a place where it is not easy for children to play to avoid touching the air spring sleeve, causing the running platform to fall and hit, causing unnecessary accidents.

Sports Advice and Guidelines

Warm-up exercise
Warm up for 5-10mins before each exercise.

Breathe
Do not hold your breath during exercise. Keep inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. The breathing should be coordinated with movement. If the breathing is too rapid, the exercise should be stopped immediately.

Frequency
Each exercise of one muscle area should rest for 48 hours in between. That is to say , we suggest you train the same muscle area every other day.

Load
Determine the amount of training according to the user’s own physical condition, and then practice according to asymptotic load. It is common phenomenon for muscle soreness at the beginning of training. As long as continuing practicing, the soreness can be eliminated.

Relax
The relaxation should be done for Smins after practicing every time. Users should especially stretch certain ministry muscle to avoid long-term condensation and keep muscle flexibility.

Diet
Do not eat at least 1 hour before training and half an hour after training to protect your digest system. Do not drink too much water to avoid increasing burden of heart and kidney.

Stretching Exercise
It is important to stretch before training, no matter how intense the training will be. It is easier to stretch the muscles when they are warm. Warm up by running for 5 to 10 minutes and then stop and stretch 5 times with each for 10 seconds or more on each leg. Continue to stretch even after training. Do it again after your workout.

1. Stretch Down

Product Maintenance

1. Lubrication
   When the running belt is used for a period of time, it must be Iubricated with special methy silicone oil.
   Advice:
   1 hour or less per week lubricate once every 6 months
   Less than 3 hours per week lubricate once every 3 months
   3-6 hours per week lubricate once every 2 months
   More than 6 hours per week lubricate once a month
   Do not lubricate too much. It is not the more lubricants, the better.
   Remember: Proper lubrication is an important factor in improving the life of the treadmill.

2. The method to check if you need to add lubricant.
   Grab the running belt and touch the middle of the running belt back with your hands as much as possible.You don’t need to add lubricant if you have silicone on your hand (a little damp). You have to add lubricant if the pad is dry and there is no silicone on your hand.

   • The step of lubricating on the running plate (as shown in the right picture).
   • Stop running and fold the machine.
   • Lift the running belt of the underside of the main body, and put the oil pot as far as possible into the middle of the running belt. And spray methyl silicone oil inside the running belt and all the contacting area.
   • You can keep the treadmill running in speed of 1km/h to evenly lubricate then step on the running belt from left to right. After a few minutes, the methyl silicone oil can be completely absorbed by the running belt.

3. Adjust tightness of running belt. All treadmills shall be adjusted for tightness before delivery and after installation. However, the running belt may be loosened after a period of use.
   For exampIe, the treadmill would have stopping and slipping problem during exercise. Adjust bolts of running belt with the left and right synchronous as per clockwise direction to half a circle as the unit when this phenomenon occurs.The user might slip if the running belt is too loose.
   But it is not good to be too tight. It is easy to increase the load of the motor therefore damage the motor, running belt and roller, etc.

4. Running Belt Deviation Adjustment
   All treadmills need to be adjusted with the running belt before delivery and after installation.But the running belt may be deviated after a period of use which may be caused by the following reasons.

5. The main body is not placed smoothly.

6. The feet of users are not in the center of the running belt.

7. The user runs with uneven force between the feet.

It will return to normal after a few minutes of no-load rotation if the deviation is caused due to the wrong usage. It should be adjusted with a 6mm wrench at a half circle as the unit for deviation of non recover automatically.

Please adjust the left bolt clockwise or right bolt counterclockwise if the running belt is left deviation.

Please adjust the right bolt clockwise or left bolt counterclockwise if the running belt is right deviation.
Note: The running belt deviation is not within the scope of the warranty. And it is mainly maintained by the user according to the manual. Running belt deviation will seriously damage the running belt. The mistake must be detected in time and corrected.
