TRUEFORM RUNNER Curved Non Motorized Treadmill

Welcome to the World of TrueForm Running

Non-motorized curved treadmills are the preferred training tool of special forces, proathletes, college teams, gym franchises, personal trainers, lifestyle runners, and physiotherapists. Their reasons for choosing a TrueForm may differ, but they all share one thing in common: Form is their Focus and TrueForm’s profile is the key to performance improvement. Studies at USC’s Department of Exercise Science highlight the TrueForm difference:

Significant changes in gait characteristics (step length, stride length, imbalance score, and stride angle) were attributed to a series of 4-minute runs on the TrueForm Runner. Importantly, those changes were maintained when participants swapped to alternative surfaces.

TrueForm Runners and Trainers are the perfect tools, from beginners to pros, to cue running form and retrain your gait.

Safety Precautions

1. Consult with a physician before beginning any exercise program, especially if any of the following are relevant to you: pregnancy, a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, elevated cholesterol, smoker, or experience any other chronic diseases or physical impairments.
2. If at any time during exercise you experience dizziness, chest pains, nausea, or any other abnormal symptoms, immediately discontinue use and consult a physician before using your TrueForm again.
3. Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from the treadmill running surface while in use.
4. Always exercise care and utilize handrails when mounting or dismounting the treadmill.
5. Never enter or exit the treadmill while the running belt is in motion.
6. Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid and level surface.
7. As the treadmill is non-motorized, there is no emergency stop lanyard. The treadmill will come to a stop on its own.
8. A treadmill running belt may not stop immediately if any object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
9. Never leave children unsupervised around a treadmill.
10. The TrueForm Runner is built to handle users weighing up to 750 lbs at speeds between 0-4mph and 550 lbs at speeds up to 18 mph.
11. Wear proper athletic shoes, such as those with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use shoes with heels or leather soles.
12. Allow several minutes to bring your heart rate into the training zone (shown on page 5).
    Walk slowly after your workout to allow your body time to cool down and your pulse rate to decrease

Know Your Heart Rate

Measuring your Heart Rate
We recommend that you use a heart rate monitor to measure your pulse during a workout. However, you may also measure your pulse manually by placing your fingers on the underside of your wrist or either side of your throat. While looking at the second hand on your watch, count how many heartbeats your feel within fifteen (15) seconds. Multiply this number by four to get your Beats Per Minute (BPM).

Know your Maximum Heart Rate
To approximate your heart rate, the general formula is to subtract your age from 220.
This formula is used by the American Heart Association and The American College of Sports Medicine. A stress test administered by your physician is the most accurate way to determine your true maximum heart rate. The American Heart Association recommends that you have a stress test done if you have any history of heart disease or if you are over the age of 40 and beginning an exercise program.

During exercise it is recommended that you maintain your target zone and not exceed 85% of your maximum heart rate. Your target zone is an area between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. Should you find your heart rate above the 75% level you should decrease the intensity of your fitness program.

Battery life

If the LED display begins to dim or flicker it is an indication the battery needs to be charged.
Turning the display off when not in use will greatly prolong battery power.

Charging the battery

1. There is a charging port under the cover of the right handrail to charge the battery. It is also the power port if you choose to keep the TrueForm Runner continuously plugged in.
   

2. Pull out the power cable that is labeled “battery charger”. Connect the output of the battery charger to this cable.
   

3. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.
   

4. The light will initially be red once charged it will turn green.
   

DISCLAIMER:
Lithium battery should be unplugged for two hours every 24-48 hours for battery preservation and safety precautions.

Static Electricity

In most instances staticide is not required.
However, if you experience static shock, lightly mist the running treads and the handrails with the staticide included in the accessory box. Generally, application will inhibit static for 1-2 months. Reapply as necessary.
Additional staticide can be ordered online at trueformrunner.com.
