How to maintain the momentum EV7000 treadmill:

Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper
maintenance could cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and void the WARRANTY.

Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids
away and keep it out of direct sunlight.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

BELT ADJUSTMENT:

Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has
been adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven ooring or other unpredicted reasons could
cause the belt to shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly
causing damage. To adjust the belt back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:

Belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the
center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt
tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the
“Walking belt slipping” instructions.

Belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the
center. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is centered. It may be necessary to set belt tension once you
have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the “Belt slipping”
instructions.

Belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn both the
left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same distance, usually a 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the
power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should now walk on the belt to
determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is not slipping. The tension should
be just tight enough not to slip.

WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!

Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.

Care and Maintainence

19

CLEANING:
Routine cleaning of your treadmill will extend the product’s life.

Warning : To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the power cord is

unplugged from the wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

Important : Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer,

keep liquids away and keep it out of direct sunlight.

After each workout : Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to

remove excess perspiration.

Weekly : Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week as dirt from your shoes eventually makes it way

underneath the treadmill. Use of a treadmill mat is recommended.

DECK LUBRICATION:

The treadmill deck has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that it is checked
periodically for lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated
usually within the first 400 hours of use.

Every 2 months of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the deck as far as you
can reach. If you feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the
instructions below.

Please use a non-petroleum based silicone.

To apply lubricant to the deck:

1. Position the deck so that the seam is located on top and in center of the deck.

2. Insert the spray lube nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant bottle.

3. While lifting the side of the belt, position the spray nozzle between the belt and the board approximately 6” from
the front of the treadmill. Apply the silicone spray to the deck, moving from the front of the treadmill to the rear.
Repeat this on the other side of the belt.

Care and Maintainence

Spray lubricant from front to back.

Exercising Information

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several
years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes
per workout.

Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic fitness will
improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own
pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your aerobic fitness, the harder
you will have to work to stay in your target zone.

Please remember these essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.

• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

• Set up your equipment on a at even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.

Exercise intensity

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be
maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your
target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone
as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your
target zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs
or walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second
heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For
example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your head rate is 140
beats per minute. (A six-seconds count is used because your heart rate will
drop rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise
until your heart rate is at the proper level.

Exercising Information

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for example). Your
heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.

Weight Training

Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight
training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen
muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps. As always,
consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

Targeted Muscle Groups

The exercise routine that is performed on the Treadmill will develop the upper and lower body muscle groups.
These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

A: Trapezius

B: Anterior

C: Pectoralis Major

D: Serratus Anterior

E: Biceps

F: Abdominal

G: Sartorius

Exercising Information

Warming up and Cooling down exercises

Each workout should include the following three parts:

1. A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

2. Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.
(Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for
longer than 20 minutes.)

3. A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the exibility of your muscles and will help to
prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

Suggested Stretches

For a correct warm up, see the following basic stretching exercises. Move slowly as you stretch, never bounce.

Toe touch stretch

Hamstring stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend
forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders
to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as
possible.
