Important Electrical Instructions

WARNING!
Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40 degrees C, and humidity is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers: Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers if possible. These breakers may trip occasionally during exercise because of the high inrush currents of the treadmill drive electronics and motor. This is an issue that affects all treadmill brands. New laws in your area may require these breakers. If you do have these breakers and outlets in your home and are experiencing nuisance tripping, you should check if there are any other devices plugged into the same circuit. Some examples of devices that may also cause tripping are fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, coffee makers, space heaters, and hair drier. Optimally the treadmill should be the only device plugged into the circuit. Our treadmills have surge suppressors built- in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested several AFCI/GFCI breakers and outlets with our products. Brands we have tested are Eaton (Cutler-Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro), and Schneider Electric (Canadian home series). These breakers do not trip in our testing, when connected to our treadmills, as long as no other devices are plugged into the same circuit.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green- colored rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

• NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired work level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage treadmill components. Unplug the treadmill during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure.

SAFETY TETHER CORD

• A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt. Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt movement. To Use
  1. Place the magnet into position on the round metal portion of the console control head. Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use.
  2. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two-step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the Stop / Pause switch in normal operation.

Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and possibly others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – THINK SAFETY!

Pre-Assembly
Please read before unpacking your folding treadmill. Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly.
There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed.
To ensure your personal safety during the removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.
Cut the banding straps with a short box cutter (razor knife); separate the carton from the one underneath it by prying up on the staples (if applicable). Pull the carton over the treadmill parts and locate the hardware pack. The hardware pack is separated into five sections; one section containing tools and four sections labeled steps 1-4 which contain the hardware needed for the assembly of each step. The assembly steps below are numbered one through four and correspond to the hardware in the numbered sections of the hardware pack. Remove only the hardware for the step you are currently assembling to avoid confusion and mix-ups.
Pull the carton over the treadmill parts and lay it on a level surface.

Preset Program Displays

Heart Rate
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefits range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your predicted Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the predicted Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat, while 80% is for strengthening the cardiovascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old their predicted target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40-year-old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise, are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
Rate of Perceived Exertion
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate all contribute to the intensity at which you should
workout. If you listen to your body it will tell you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20
depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort

6 Minimal
7 Very, very light
8 Very, very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard| 14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18 Very hard +
19 Very,very hard
20 Maximal
---|---

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example, a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending on the factors discussed earlier. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel comfortable. When
your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel difficult. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.
Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment

The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
A 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment.
Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference that may not be apparent right away. If the belt is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turn until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner’s responsibility common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION
Damage to the running belt resulting from improper tracking/tension adjustments is not covered under the XTERRA Fitness warranty.
General Cleaning
Dirt, dust, and hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. Please vacuum underneath your treadmill on a monthly basis to prevent excess build-up of dirt that can get sucked up and get into the inner workings under the motor cover. Every other month, you should remove the motor cover and carefully vacuum out dirt and hair that may accumulate.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
Belt Adjustments

Tread-belt Tension Adjustment – Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. The adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt and making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with each step. When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt – located under the motor cover – that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained service person.
Belt/Deck Lubrication Procedure
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your treadmill, proper belt maintenance is required. You should regularly check between the treadmill belt and the top of the treadmill base for proper lubrication, and to ensure that no dirt or debris has become trapped. Keeping the deck clean and lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. Should lubrication dry out, or dirt becomes trapped, the friction between the belt and deck increases. Increased friction places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt, and electronic motor control board which could result in catastrophic failure of these essential, expensive components.
Failure to clean and lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
As a part of your routine maintenance schedule, belt lubrication and cleaning should be performed every 80 hours of use, or earlier if you notice that the deck is dry or dirty. Please also be sure to check belt lubrication before first use. Do not lubricate with anything other than XTERRA Fitness-approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of treadmill belt lubricant. Extra tubes can be ordered directly from: www.xterrafitness.com, or by calling our customer service department at (870)336-4286.
Regularly check belt lubrication by completing the following steps:

1. Ensure that your machine is off and that the power cord is unplugged to minimize the risk of injury.
2. Reach between the running belt and the top of the treadmill base to verify that lubrication is present.

To lubricate your treadmill belt:

1. Ensure that your machine is off, and unplugged to minimize the risk of injury.
2. Reach between the belt and the top of the treadmill base to verify that lubrication is present.
3. While kneeling beside your treadmill deck, use one hand to hold the treadmill belt up and away from the treadmill base just enough so you can use your other hand to reach the lubrication underneath.
4. Starting about 1 foot from the motor cover, begin applying ½ of your lubricant bottle in a long “S” pattern about 4-6” from one edge.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the opposite side using the remaining ½ of the lubricant bottle.
6. Plug the treadmill power cord back in, and turn the power switch back on.
7. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for 5 minutes to evenly distribute the lubricant along the treadmill belt and deck.
8. Your treadmill belt is now lubricated. Normal use can resume.

Note: If your console display is showing a “LUBE” message, perform the following procedure to reset the display:

1. In standby mode, hold the ENTER key for 3 seconds to reset the message.

To clean your treadmill belt:

1. Ensure that your machine is off and that the power cord is unplugged to minimize the risk of injury.
2. Grab one edge of the treadmill belt, and lift slightly to expose the area between the top of the treadmill base and the running belt.
3. Do a visual check for any dirt or debris accumulation.
4. Should dirt and debris be present, slide a towel or cleaning cloth between the treadmill belt and the top of the treadmill base until you can grasp one end on each side. (The cleaning cloth should be longer than the running belt is wide to achieve this.)
5. Using both hands, drag the cleaning cloth up and down the length of the treadmill base 1-2 times.
6. For excessive dirt accumulation, rotate the belt halfway and repeat step 5. Continue until your cleaning cloth is no longer picking up any dirt.
7. Remove cleaning cloth from treadmill before plugging back in.
