EXERCISE GUIDE

Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre- existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

WARM UP

Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

COOL DOWN

Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the lifetime of this unit. Performance is maximized when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.

WARNING

The mat/deck friction may lay a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill. Failing to do this may void your warranty.
Unplug power cord before maintenance.
Stop treadmill before folding.

GENERAL CLEANING

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task should be done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.

GENERAL CARE

Check parts for wear before use.
Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.
Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact us.

Take care to protect carpets and floor in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains moving parts which have been greased/lubricated and could leak.

BELT/DECK/ROLLER LUBRICATION

The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill. You should apply lubrication after approximately the first 30 hours of operation.

We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:

Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months.
Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months.
Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.

See below procedures for lubricating:

On the side rail there is a lid to top up the lubrication tub.
Refill it once it is low and this will self-lubricate the belt.

We recommend that you use a silicone-based oil to lubricate your Lifespan treadmill. This can be purchased directly from us or any hardware store.

ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT

Place treadmill on a level surface. Run treadmill at approximately 4km/h, checking the running condition.

If the belt has drifted to the right: Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn the right adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture A
If you have over adjusted the belt and it drifts to the right, carefully turn the right adjusting bolt anticlockwise until the belt centers.

If the belt has drifted to the left: Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture B
If you have over adjusted it, carefully turn the left adjusting bolt anticlockwise and until the belt centers.

To adjust the tightness of the belt: Turn the treadmill off. Turn both the left and right adjusting bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until the belt correctly tightens.
See Picture C
If the belt is over tightened, simply do the opposite to loosen.

NOTE:
When properly tightened,you should be able to peel the very edge of the side of the belt up approximately 2 inches. However, this is a rough reference and not all treadmills are the same. Some treadmills that have longer belts may give different measurements for correct belt tightness.
Simply, if the belt begins to slip during use, this is an indication that the belt still needs tightening.

HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY

Our products come equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.
To ensure proper operation:

The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors
The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet

Other factors that could affect the reading:

Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running)
Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals
Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill

EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and “Noise” factors that may affect the reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.

These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of $3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.

To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the side step rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
