TREADMILL ADJUSTMENTS

RIGHT

ADJUSTMENT

LEFT

ADJUSTMENT

When adjusted properly, the Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill’s WALKING BELT(11) will roll smoothly
around the BOARD(10) and over the front and rear rollers without catching or rubbing. For the belt to run
smoothly, there are a few points that need to be noted.

BELT ALIGNMENT

The WALKING BELT(11) must be in the center of the BOARD(10) to prevent it from rubbing against the
FLYWHEEL COVER(9). If the belt rubs the FLYWHEEL COVER(9), it will be difcult to keep the belt moving

and will eventually damage the edge of the belt. The treadmill has belt guides welded to the bottom of the
treadmill frame that move the belt toward the center of the treadmill. However, the REAR ROLLER(8) must
be properly aligned with the treadmill frame and FRONT ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(7) if the belt is to remain
centered on the treadmill. The bolts in the rear of the treadmill (one on the left and the other on the right)
adjust the alignment of the REAR ROLLER(8) as well as the tension of the belt

The belt will run to the side of the loose rear bolt.
Hint: Visually check the REAR ROLLER(8) to make sure both the right side and the left side of the REAR

ROLLER(8) are the same distance from the back edge of the treadmill. Using the 5mm ALLEN
WRENCH, make adjustments by turning the bolts clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.

BELT DRIFTING LEFT

Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE and the right screw

1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.

Repeat if needed.

BELT DRIFTING RIGHT

Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE and the

right screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.
Repeat if needed.

NOTE:

When you believe the WALKING BELT(11) is centered, use the treadmill for three (3) minutes to verify the
WALKING BELT(11) won’t drift to one side or the other. If the WALKING BELT(11) continues to drift, the

oor may not be level. Rotate the treadmill 90 degrees or move the treadmill to another location.

BELT TENSION

The WALKING BELT(11) should be taut and not lying loosely on the treadmill BOARD(10). If the belt is
too loose, it will slip on the front roller and you will notice a jerky movement when you walk on the treadmill.
If the belt is too tight, the edges of the belt will begin to curl and more effort will be required to move the
belt. Excessive belt tension can also damage the bearings in the rollers. The bolts on the ends of the MAIN
FRAME(1) (one on the left and the other on the right) adjust the WALKING BELT(10) tension as well as
the REAR ROLLER(8) alignment.

BELT TOO LOOSE: Use the 5mm ALLEN WRENCH to tighten the bolts on the ends of the MAIN

FRAME(1). Tighten both bolts 1/4 turn clockwise at a time until the belt stops slipping on the FRONT
ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(7).

BELT TOO TIGHT : Use the 5mm ALLEN WRENCH to loosen the bolts on the ends of the MAIN FRAME(1).

Loosen both bolts 1/2 turn counterclockwise at a time until the belt begins to slip on the FRONT ROLLER
w/FLYWHEELS(7). Then use the procedure above to tighten the belt to the proper tension.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

WALKING RESISTANCE

The walking resistance or effort needed to push the treadmill belt
can be adjusted by turning the TENSION KNOB(45).

To increase the load, turn the TENSION KNOB(45) clockwise.
To decrease the load, turn the TENSION KNOB(45)
counterclockwise. There are eight levels for the load adjustment.

NOTE:

1. Since this is a new machine, you may need some time to get used to walking on the treadmill and to
break it in.

2. If the walking resistance is too high, check the BELT TENSION. Refer to page 12 for instructions to
adjust belt tension.

3. The belt resistance can be reduced by adding silicone lubricant between the belt and the board. Wipe
the board under the belt with a clean, dry cloth then spray or spread silicone lubricant on the board
under the belt.

MAIN FRAME HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The MAIN FRAME(1) can incline to three different heights by moving the REAR SUPPORTS(23) up or
down. Insert the PULL PINS(20) into the holes in the REAR SUPPORTS(23) to adjust. Choose the one
that best meets your workout needs: the higher the height, the more level the walking surface while the
lower height will provide more of an incline.
NOTE: Check to make sure you have placed the PULL PINS(20) into the same height position on both

sides of the REAR SUPPORTS(23).

STORAGE

1. To store the Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill, simply keep it in a clean dry place.

2. To avoid damage to the electronics, remove the batteries before storing the Avari® Adjustable Height
Treadmill for one year or more.

3. To fold the Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill for easy storage, follow this process. Refer to the
illustrations below.

The safety and integrity designed into the Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill can only be maintained
when the Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill is regularly examined for damage and wear. Special
attention should be given to the following:

MAINTENANCE

1. Adjust the TENSION KNOB(45) and verify that it functions properly and the resistance changes.

2. Clean the exposed surfaces of the walking belt and the board with an absorbent cloth.

3. Verify that all nuts and bolts are present and properly tightened. Replace missing nuts and bolts.
Tighten loose nuts and bolts.

4. Verify that the CAUTION LABEL(63) is in place and easy to read. Call Stamina Products immediately
at 1-800-375-7520 for a replacement CAUTION LABEL(63) if it is missing or damaged.

5. It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner to ensure that regular maintenance is performed.

6. Worn or damaged components shall be replaced immediately or the Avari® Adjustable Height
Treadmill removed from service until repair is made.

7. Only Stamina Products supplied components shall be used to maintain/repair the Avari® Adjustable

Height Treadmill.

8. Keep your Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill clean by wiping it off with an absorbent cloth after
use.

9. If the WALKING BELT(11) does not move easily, lubricate the BOARD(10) under the WALKING
BELT(11) with silicone lubricant.

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase
your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.

Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic
capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise
so you don't tire too quickly.

Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the
exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or

three ngers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply
the results by ten to nd your heart rate. For example, if your six second

heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second
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.

wrist pulse

Remember to follow these essentials:

Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower

intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity, and

build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically t.

If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.

To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table
below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60%
and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of
your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your
workout by increasing your heart rate.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

Target Heart Rate Zone Estimated by Age*

* For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends

working out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the

maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 - Age = predicted maximum heart rate

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

Warm-Up

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries.

Warm up for two to ve minutes before strength training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that

raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging,
jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place.

Stretching

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your

strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times
because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held
for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not bounce.

Suggested Stretching Exercises

Remember to always check with your physician before starting any exercise program.

Cool-Down

The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting

state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows
blood to return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be

completed after each strength training session.

Lower Body Stretch

Place feet shoulder-width

apart and lean forward.
Keep this position for 30
seconds using the body as a
natural weight to stretch the
backs of the legs.

DO NOT BOUNCE!

When the pull on the back of
the legs lessens, gradually
try a lower position.

Floor Stretch

While sitting on the oor,

open the legs as wide as
possible. Stretch the upper
body toward the knee on the
right leg by using your arms
to pull your chest to your
thighs. Hold this stretch 10
to 30 seconds.

DO NOT BOUNCE!

Do this stretch 10 times.
Repeat the stretch with the
left leg.

Bent Over Leg Stretch

Stand with feet shoulder-

width apart and lean forward

as illustrated. Using the

arms, gently pull the upper
body towards the right leg.
Let the head hang down.

DO NOT BOUNCE!

Hold the position a minimum
of 10 seconds. Repeat
pulling the upper body to
the left leg. Do this stretch
several times slowly.

Bent Torso Pulls

While sitting on the oor,

have legs apart, one leg
straight and one knee bent.
Pull the chest down to touch
the thigh on the leg that is
bent, and twist at the waist.
Hold this position at least 10
seconds. Repeat 10 times
on each side.
