lX. Daily servicing
and maintenance
of electric treadmill
During the
daily use of the
treadmill, the following
should
be
noted for
the maintenance.
1. Keep
the treadmill
clean
1.1 The
service life
of
the treadmill
can be significantly
extended by keeping
clean. Often wipe
the running
board
and
footboard
exposed
on the two
sides of the
running
belt.
Reduce
long-term
accumulation
of the dust
and dirt under the running
belt.
'1.2
The running
belt
can be wiped with
soft cloth dipped with
soapsuds.
Don't let the water flow to
the
bottom of the running
belt and
into
the
shield.
'1.3
Regularly
check
each bolt and nut. Please
tighten
and
fix them
immediately with
tools if
they
are
loose.
'1.4
Regularly
check whether
the
groove
of the
motor
belt is
clean. lf there
are
residual,
they
must
be cleaned off to avoid
unnecessary vibration when
it is
used.
1.5 Regularly
clean the
electric control system
and the dust
surrounding the motor to
ensure
normal
operation of the treadmill.
2. Lubrication
2.1
A bottle of
special lubricating
oil
for running
board
is attached. Running
board surface
should be evenly lubricated with
special
lubrication regularly to
avoid the damage
of
running
belt
and
running
board caused
by
the
temperature rise
due to the friction
between them,
and
to
reduce
the load
of the
motor.
(Note:
the child should not
play
with
it in fear
of eating by
mistake)
2.2 After
the
treadmill
has
been used
for a while,
the running
belt and running
board
should be
lubricated with the
special lubricant. The
lubricating time
interval is different
according to the
references

shown

(For

see the
"Adjusting

The
over lubrication
should be avoided. As
for the lubrication,
it is by no
means
"the
more the
bette/'. Please remember:
reasonable
lubrication is
an important
factor
to extend the service
life of the treadmill!
3. Judgment for friction:
The frictional
force
of
the
running board
and
running
belt
can be increased by
uncleanness or
reduction
of lubricant, which may
damage the motor
and control
panel.
The
excessive frictional
force
is characterized with followings:
3.1 Under the
power
off condition, it is
arduous to drive the
belt by
feet,
or even
the belt
cannot
be driven;
3.2 The treadmill runs
at an intermediate
speed. The running
belt completely stops
as soon
as the safety
switch is turned off;
3.3
The
increment of frictional force
may cause
the damage of motor
or control
panel,
short
circuit, tripping, fuse
burn-out,
etc.
4, Adjustment
for the tightness
of running
belt:
4.1
Although all treadmills
have been adjusted
at exworks, the running
belt may become
loose
after the treadmill is
used
for
some time. The maintenance
is mainly
carried out by the user.
lf
the running
belt is too
loose,
the
skidding
phenomenon
of running
belt and drum will
occur
when
you
step on the running
belt. But
excessive
tightness
is not
good
either
because it may
damage
the
motor, running
belt and drum, increase the running
noise
of
the
treadmill,
etc.
ln
general
condition, it is
better
to
lift
the
two sides
of
running
belt 5-6cm
away
from
the
running
board.
4.2 Judgment method for tightness
of running
belti
Adjust the treadmill
speed to
1.5
km/h,grasp
the armrest forcefully with
both hands and
prevent
the
operating of running belt with feet.
At this time, if-the-runnjng-b€ltstgp€-nrming,
z.
thejtonl^drumcontinues"runnin$
but the running
belt continues
running
after being released,
indicating
that the
running
belt is excessively loose. Meanwhile,
the user
may feel
the
halt
at
sometimes, and the long-term
use under the
loose
state may shorten the
service
life
of
running
belt.
Therefore,
adjustment should be done timely.
4.3 Adjusting method for the tightness
of
running
belt: After the treadmill
is used
for
some
time,
the halt may
be
felt while
you
are running
on
it, which
is caused by the excessive loose
running belt. The tightening
adjustable bolt of the right and
left
rear regulating
box is used
to
ad,ust the tightness
and deflection. lt is the core component
of
the
adjustment of
the
complete treadmill.
Adjusting method
(note:
the clockwise means tightening
and the anticlockwise
means
loosening.
All the
tightening and loosening as shown
below stand
for
clockwise and
anticlockwise
respectively.)
After the treadmill is used for
some
time, the
running belt will
get
extended
slightly.
lf
you
feel
the skidding
running
bet, it shows the
running
belt
is too loose.
Thus, tighten the
adjustable bolts of rear cover at both
sides at
the
same
time
by
1/4
circle
until no skidding or halt
is
felt
while
you
are running on the treadmill.
Special
attention: As
for
the running
belt,
it is not the tighter
the better.
The
tightness should
be adjusted as required. The
service life of
the running
belt may be shortened if it is too tight.
5.
Adjustment for
deflection of
running
belt:
As for
all treadmills, although the
running
belt has been adjusted
at exworks, the
running
belt
may
suffer the deflection after the
treadmill
is
used
for
some time.
This
is attributed to
following
reasons:
5.1
The
treadmill body is
placed
unevenly.
5.2
While
exercising on
the treadmill,
the user fails to run
on
the
central
position
of
the running
belt.
5.3
The
strength of user's feet is uneven.
5.4 Adjustment for deflection: lt only takes a few minutes to recover
artificial deflection by
no-load
operation.
As for
the
non-recoverable
deflection, the
running
belt
adjusting
bolts
should be adjusted
with the
auxiliary special tools by half a
circle.
For
example, if
the
deflection is leftward, clockwise
adjust
the
left adjusting bolts or anticlockwise adjust the
right
adjusting bolts,
and
if
the deflection
is rightward,
clockwise adjust the
right
adjusting
bolts or anticlockwise adjust the
left adjusting bolts.
The
defleclions of running belt are
mainly
maintained and repaired by the
user.
As the
deflection
may
seriously damage
the
running
belt, the deflection should
be timely corrected
if
any.
6.
Adjustment for
motor belt:
6,1 As for
all
treadmills,
although the motor belt has been adjusted at exworks, the running belt
may suffer the halt
after
the
treadmill is used
for
some time, because the motor belt
gets
loose.
6.2
Method for
judging
the tightness
of motor belt: Adjust the headmill
speed
to 1.5 km/h,
grasp
the armrest
forcefully with
both
hands
and
prevent
the operating of
running
belt
with feet. At
this time, if-the"funning-hejt"and-frant-drum-sJop-runoing-simuttaneousjy^
but the running belt
continues running after being released, indicating that the motor
belt is excessively loose.
Meanwhile,
the user may feel
the
halt at
sometimes, and the
long-term
use under the
loose
state may shorten the service life
of
motor
belt.
Therefore,
adjustment should be done
timely.
6.3 Solution: Use special
tools
to clockwise adjust the motor belt adjusting
bolts
for several circles
until the user cannot
feel
the
halt.
This
adjustment
is mainly
carried out the by user.
Adjusting method
for motor belt: Clockwise adjust the motor belt
adjusting bolts by
half
a circle
with
auxiliary
tools.
Special attention: As for the motor
belt, it is
not the tighter the
better.
The tightness
should be
adjusted as required. The service
life of
the running
belt may be shortened if it is too tight.
