Important Safety Information

IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY Your treadmill was designed and built for optimum safety. However, certain precautions apply

whenever you use your treadmill. Be sure to read the manual before assembly and operation. Also, please note the following safety precautions:

DANGER: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

1. Read OWNER’S MANUAL and all accompanying literature and follow it carefully before using your treadmill.

2. If dizziness, nausea, chest pains, or any other abnormal symptoms are experienced while using this equipment, STOP the workout and CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

3. Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before removing or replacing parts.

4. Never operate the treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to water.

5. Do not pull the treadmill by the power supply cord or use cord as a handle. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and open flames.

6. Fitness equipment must always be installed and used on a flat surface. Do not use outdoors or near water.

7. Do not insert any objects into any openings.

8. Keep children and pets away from this equipment at all times while exercising.

9. Handicapped individuals should have medical approval and close supervision when using this treadmill.

Electrical Information

WARNING!

NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. Large switching currents of the drive motor will trip GFCI type outlets, as any appliance with a large motor. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.

NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.

If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.

NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 4 to 48 degrees Celsius, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 240-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Using an Allen wrench, turn the right adjustment bolt 1/8 turn in a clockwise direction and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/8.

TREADMILL LUBRICATION

Lubricating under the treadbelt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy. After the first 25 hours of use (2-3 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant. Every 50 hours of use (5-8 months) apply one half bottle of lubricant.

HOW TO CHECK TREADBELT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the treadbelt and feel the top surface of the treadboard. If the surface is slick to the touch, then no further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant.

HOW TO APPLY LUBRICANT

Lift one side of treadbelt. Pour one half of the lubricant bottle

under the center of the treadbelt on the top surface of the treadboard.

Walk on the treadmill at a slow speed for 3 to 5 minutes to evenly distribute lubricant.

NOTE: DO NOT over lubricate treadboard. Any excess lubricant that comes out should be wiped off.

IMPORTANT: ONLY USE HALF THE BOTTLE OF LUBRICANT PER APPLICATION LUBRICATION SCHEDULE.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.

Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from one person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For example, the maximum heart rate for an average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety on page 17

Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly against your neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your heart rate at these times; at rest, after warming up, during your workout and two minutes into your cool down, to accurately track your progress as it relates to better fitness.

During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part of the target heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%. According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenuous unless you are in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.

Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop exercising, or if it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have been too strenuous for your current fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.

Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition

(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate (THR) = Target Heart Rate

220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHZ) MHZ x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate. MHZ x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.

For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows: 220 - 30 = 190 190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHZ) 190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHZ) 30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142 See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.

Fitness Guide

STARTING YOUR WORKOUT

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE UNDERTAKING A NEW EXERCISE REGIME. IF YOU EXPERIENCE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR OTHER ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS DURING EXERCISE, STOP AT ONCE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Begin each workout with a warm up session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps:

1. Get onto the treadmill, using the handrails for support, and place your feet on the side rails. (Either side of the running mat)

2. Activate the treadmill. (Using the details found in the Operation Instructions)

3. The treadmill will start at the lowest speed, step onto the mat and walk at the same speed.

4. Continue the rest of your workout.

FINISHING YOUR WORKOUT

1. Turn the treadmill to the lowest speed and incline settings.

2. Using the handrails for support place your feet on the side rails. (Either side of the running mat)

3. Stop the treadmill.

4. Turn the treadmill o

5. Remove the safety key.

6. If necessary, wipe the treadmill down with a damp cloth.

7. End each workout with a cool down session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.

main power switch and remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

CORRECT RUNNING FORM

• Run in the centre of the running mat.

• Keep your head up and look straight ahead.

• Shoulders should be square and level, don’t round your shoulder or swing them f

• Keep your torso straight with the chest up so there’s plenty of room for the diaphragm to move for proper breathing actions.

• Do not lean forwards, backwards or slouch, as all of these posture deviations can place a lot of stress on the lower back, interfering with proper running mechanics and possibly causing lower back injury.

• Feet should be pointed straight ahead and land directly under the hips.

orwards or backwards.

HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE FOR?

That really depends on your current level of ﬁtness. If you’re just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough. Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise.
