Leveling the Treadmill
For optimum performance the treadmill should be level. To level the TR100 and TR200

model treadmills use the adjustable feet underneath the back of the treadmill.
Loosen the lock nut on each foot and unscrew the feet to the desired height making
sure that the treadmill sits stable and even on the oor. Tighten each lock nut.

Adaquate Space

MyTread

Make sure you have room to lay the treadmill down. There needs to be at least 2 feet
of clearance on both sides and in the front of the treadmill. There should be at least
4 feet of clearance on the back side of the treadmill for safety reasons. If the user
were to fall this would give adequate clearance to get o the treadmill.

Moving

The treadmill is equipped with transport wheels located in front. To move, lift up on
the back end of the frame. Relocate the treadmill by rolling the treadmill on these wheels.

Custom User Set-up Programs

This program allows the user to preset the speed and incline levels for a personalized workout.

The TR200 come with constant heart rate control program. The Heart Rate Control program uses both
speed and incline to keep your heart rate at th set limit.

Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your heart rate

throughout the entire workout either through using the Contact Heart Rate sensors.

Constant Heart Rate Control: The “Constant” program lets you select a single heart rate that you
want to maintain throughout your workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by adjust­ing the speed and the incline. There is a 3 minute warm up before the actual program starts.

Typically for Weight Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and for
Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum. Refer to the Heart Rate Training section
of this manual to determine your optimal training zones based on your age and exercise objectives or visit:

Belt Lubrication

Use only 100% Silicone and avoid using aerosol silicone sprays which include additives and petroleum
distillates. One ounce of Silicone should be used for each application. LifeSpan oers 100% silicone
lubricant that can be ordered at www.lifespantness.com.

The running belt should be lubricated every 3 months (regardless of use) or every 50
hours of use, whichever comes rst. Even if the treadmill is not being used, silicone will dissipate
over time and the belt will dry out.

Note: Even though the running belt is lubed from the manufacturer, you should lubricate
the running belt when rst using the treadmill in case the belt has dried some between the dates
the unit was manufactured and when it was purchased.

The Silicone icon will turn on in the display every 100 hours of use and is a reminder that it is time to
lubricate the running belt. As indicated above it is best to lubricate the running belt every 50 hours of use.
This is a reminder for the 2nd 50 hours. The icon will be in the display for 5 minutes and then it will turn o.
To turn the icon o you can simply press the SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously untill the
icon turns o.

Apply the silicone to the underside of the treadmill belt. Do not apply to the walking surface.
This may be accomplished by folding the treadmill and applying the silicone to the back of the belt
from each back corner. Spray the silicone down and across the belt from each corner. Rotate the
belt 1/2 of the circumference and repeat from each corner.

Note: When lubricating the belt, make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that can be easily
cleaned. After lubricating your treadmill running belt, clean any excess silicone o the belt and frame.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is recommended to wipe the treadmill down after each use to keep the treadmill clean and dry. A
mild detergent may be used at times to help remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and
the display.

The Maintenance icon shows up in the display every 150 hours of use. This is a reminder to clean the
unit really good. This cleaning would include removing the motor cover and cleaning around the
motor and electronics. It is recommended to clean the motor compartment if the treadmill is in an
area where there might be a lot of pet hair or plush carpet bers that could get pulled up into the
motor compartment. It is a good idea at this time to check and tighten all assembly hardware as well.

Warning: Unplug the Power Cord Before Removing the Motor Cover.

After cleaning and checking all assembly hardware, turn the maintenance icon o, by pressing
SPEED DOWN and START buttons simultaneously until the icon turns o.

Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip during use, it will need to be tensioned. Your treadmill is equipped with
tension bolts that are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt,
start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 MPH. Using a 6 mm Allen Wrench, included in your
hardware bag, turn the right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn, alternating back and forth until the
belt slipping stops. After you adjust each side 1/2 turn, test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If
the belt still slips repeat this step and test again.

If you turn one side more than the other, the belt will start to drift to the side of the
treadmill and need to be aligned. Do Not tighten more that 2 full turns on each side.
If slippage still occurs, contact LifeSpan Customer Service.

Note: Over tensioning the belt can cause
unnecessary friction and wear and tear
on the belt, motor and electronics.

Aligning the Running Belt

Ensure the running belt is centered on your treadmill at all times. Running style and a non- level
surface are two instances that may cause the belt to drift o center. Minor adjustments to the two
bolts at the rear of the treadmill are necessary when the belt has drifted o center.

1. Press "START", then increase the treadmills speed to 3MPH.

2. Stand at the rear of the treadmill to determine which direction the belt is drifting.

3. If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise and
the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clockwise. (See FIG.C)

4. If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clock
wise and the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise. (See FIG.D)

5. Observe the tracking of the belt for about two minutes. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 as needed.
