Main Switch position „0“ = treadmill turned o
Fault-Current Button Switch
Main Switch
Fault-Current Switch (depending on the model)
There is a fault-current button-switch next to the main switch on the front of the motor cover to prevent the treadmill from
being damaged by electrical surges in the network. This button-switch is triggered o by if a surge in the electrical supply
occurs and acts as a circuit breaker. In this case the treadmill will be completely switched o. If this occurs, switch o the
treadmill at the main switch, and pull the mains cable out of the socket with the plug. Press the button on the fault-current
switch back in. Re-connect the mains cable with the plug and switch the treadmill back on at the main switch.

Safety Key
Clip
Safety Key
Safety Key
The treadmill will only operate if the safety key is correctly in
contact with contact point in the cockpit. The treadmill will stop
automatically if the safety key is no longer in contact. Before
each training session make sure to attach the safety key to
your clothing with the clip.If you either want to stop the treadmill
quickly, cannot keep up with the speed, or any other emergency
arises, pull the string to remove the safety key out of the cockpit.
If the safety key is connected to your clothing it will automatically be pulled out of the cockpit if you fall. It is therefore vital to
make sure that the clip is securely fastened to your clothing and
cannot somehow be pulled o. Adjust the length of the string to
hang down losely during training. It is not possible to operate the
treadmill without the safety key being correctly inserted. Always
remove the saftey key when your treadmill is not in use to ensure
that it cannot be used by any other third party, for example by
children, without your permission or unsupervised.
The treadmill will stop automatically if the safety key is pulled out
of the cockpit during training. The incline will remain in the adjusted position and can only be lowered after the safety key has been
re-connected.

Care, Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING
Turn o your training device and remove the plug from the mains before you carry out any maintenance, cleaning, servicing, repairs or similar on your training device. Check without fail that your device is completely disconnected from the mains
and turned o before you start with any work. Only reconnect your training device back to the mains when all works are
completed and the device has been completely put back together again.
Before re-starting the training device or before starting it back up again after a longer training
If you trip during training, hold onto the handrails immediately with both hands, support yourself with your hands and arms
on the handrails and put your feet on the footrails on either side of the belt.
You should practice this several times so that you will know what to do if an emergency situation arises.
Wear the safety key every time you use the treadmill. Make sure that all third parties are familiar with the safety instructions
and that they always use the safety key correctly whilst they are training!
break interval
Make sure that the treadmill is standing rmly on the ground. There should be no items on or underneath the device. Check
that there is an even lm of lubricant (silicon) on the treadmell deck. If this is not the case, then apply a lm of silicon provid-
ed by the distributor.
Service and Cleaning Intervals:
Clean the treadmill belt each time after training with a damp cloth to remove any sweat and or liquids. Do not use solvents.
Dry o the cleaned areas thoroughly.
Treadmill Belt Lubrication Check: 1 x per Week
If the lubrication is not sucient, lubricate it immediately and adapt the interval between checks accordingly. The lubrication checks require to be done more often at shorter intervals. If the device has a folding mechanism and has been left in a
folded position for a long period of time, check to see if it is lubricated suciently.
Belt Track Check: 1 x per Week
The belt track must be checked reularly. If the belt is running o to one side, this should be corrected immediately. Find and
read the appropriate instructions on how to do this in this Manual.
Cleaning the Motor Compartment: 1 x per Month
To clean the motor compartment undo the screws on the motor cover and lift it up.
WARNING: Only do this if the training device is switched o and the plug on the mains cable is removed from the socket.
Remove all visible dust with a small vacuum cleaner nozzle. Do not under any circumstances use any cleaning liquids or
compressed air.
Fixing Materials Check: 1 x per Month
Check the screws, nuts and bolts at least once a month and tighten them if necessary.
Why is maintenance work on my treadmill so important?
In order to have long term enjoyment with your treadmill it is important to carry out some basic maintenance on a regular
and thorough basis. The required intervals depend strongly on how much your training is used. For this reason, the mainte-
nance may need to be carried out at much shorter intervals than the ones recommended.
What can happen if maintenance works are not done properly?
When in use friction is caused between the treadmill belt and the deck. Any type of friction causes wear and will reduce
the service life of your training device. Friction is reduced by lubricating between the deck and the belt and this in turn will
increase the service life of the treadmill. If the belt is run with too little lubrication, signicant heat will be produced on the
running deck. The surface of the deck and the running belt will get damaged. Friction may then become so high that a static
charge may occur and it is highly likely that, if touched, it can be discharged via the frame into the body. This is not only
very unpleasant but it can also destroy the electronic components in the treadmill.
Why do I have to clean the motor compartment?
Movement of the treadmill belt and motor ventilator cause the belt to draw in dust from the enviroment. Dust will gather both
underneath and in the device. At some point so much dust could collect in the device to cause a short-circuit in the electronic components. To avoid this happening, it is necessary to clean the device regularly.
Damages caused by failure or lack of maintenance and care are excluded from the warranty
and guarantee.
The costs of repairing an training device which has not been properly maintained can very quickly amount to several hundred Euro.
A high price which can be avoided by carrying out regular care and maintenance.
