necessary).
+ E7 - The incline is too high or too low: The blue backlit LCD display shows the
running text ERROR 7. The window shows the running text PLEASE RESTART AND
CONTACT SERVICE (please restart the equipment and contact service if necessary).
Error E6 / E7 deviations in the incline function - simple process of elimination
If the error messages E6 or E7 are shown on the display when the treadmill is restarted,
please check the following steps:
Apply weight to the incline increase or the incline decrease in order to check the
signals of the incline motor and the communication cable. Please proceed extremely
carefully in order to avoid damage to the circuit board or the incline motor. If you
cannot apply pressure to the incline motor, please contact your contract partner.
A. The incline angle of the treadmill is in the rise position (see image). Press STOP and
hold the button for a short time. Press the down button simultaneously. Hold both
buttons simultaneously for about three to ve seconds. The incline motor forces the
treadmill to decrease the incline height. Check if the value of the incline motor (it
is located next to the error specication) changes with the incline decrease and is
adjusted to 100. If the value changes with the incline, you can release the button in
order to bring the incline position to the dened position.
T9.5

B. The incline angle of the treadmill is in the decline position (see image). Press STOP
and hold the button for a short time. Press the UP button simultaneously. Hold both
buttons simultaneously for about three to ve seconds. The incline motor forces the
treadmill to increase the incline height. Check if the value of the incline motor (it
is located next to the error specication) changes with the incline decrease and is
adjusted to 100. If the value changes with the incline, you can release the button in
order to bring the incline position to the dened position.
If the technical interference of the incline function cannot be repaired - after you have
done the steps above - then please contact the technical service of your contract
partner.
In order to still be able to reset the treadmill to the starting position, press STOP and
hold on to the treadmill. Then press the down button (slow lowering). Hold both
buttons for about three to ve seconds. The incline function stops in the defective
position and cannot execute the function. This incline function can be executed again
after the treadmill is restarted. Delete the incline function if you use the treadmill
before the problem is solved.

2.4 Care and maintenance
The most important maintenance measure is taking care of the running belt. It
includes the adjustment, tensioning and lubrication of the running belt. Damage
caused due to a lack of care or negligence will not be covered by the warranty. Thus,
check for maintenance in regular intervals. Be extremely careful when adjusting and
tensioning the belt, because a strong over or under tension may cause damages. The
running belt is set properly in the factory before delivery. However, the running belt
may get out of place during transport.
Aligning the running mat
During training, the running belt should run as centered and straight as possible. The
alignment of the running belt may change depending on the stress and load. Another
reason can be the positioning of the equipment on an uneven surface.
+ While adjusting the belt, let the equipment run with a speed of approximately
5km/h. Nobody may be on the equipment during this process.
+ If the running belt is oset to the left, turn the left setting screw on the rear end
of the equipment at most 1/4 rotation clockwise and the right setting screw at most
1/4 rotation counterclockwise (g. C).
+ If the running belt is oset to the right, turn the right setting screw on the rear
end of the equipment at most 1/4 rotation clockwise and the left setting screw at
most 1/4 rotation counterclockwise (g. D).
+ Then watch how the belt runs for approximately 30 seconds, because the change
will not be visible immediately.
+ Repeat the process until the running belt runs straight again. If the running belt
cannot be adjusted, please contact your contract partner.
T9.5
16
Tensioning the belt
+ If the running belt slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, a
noticeable jerking will be noticed while running), the running belt must be
tightened again. In most cases, the cause for the slipping is a straining of the belt
through usage. This is completely normal.
+ It can be tightened through the same setting screws that were used during
alignment.
+ While tensioning the belt, let the equipment run with a speed of 5km/h.
+ Turn the left and right setting screws directly after each other a max. 1/4 clockwise
rotation clockwise.
+ Then check if the running belt is still slipping. If this is still the case, the described
process needs to be repeated.
Lubricating the running belt
+ If the running belt is inadequately lubricated, the friction will increase signicantly
and this leads to strong wear of the endless belt, running panel, motor and circuit
board.
+ If you feel an increase in friction from the running belt, this is an indicator that you
should lubricate the belt (however, a lubrication should be done at least every
three months).
+ The treadmill has a reminder for lubricating the treadmill: A symbol is displayed on
the console every 100 operating hours. The symbol appears on the display for ve
minutes and then turns o. In order to turn o the symbol prematurely, press the
INCLINE up and INCLINE down buttons at the same time.
17
+ In order to be able to optimally lubricate the treadmill, the running belt must be
lifted slightly. Then apply some silicone spray on the entire running deck. Apply
three short (approximately 1 second) sprays of silicone lubricant between the belt
and the running deck.
+ The spraying tube should be held sideways in order to guarantee a moistening of
the entire underside of the belt. Continue to rotate the belt by hand so that the
entire area between the endless belt and running deck is lubricated. Wipe o the
excess lubricant.
+ This maintenance must also be executed after the equipment has not been used
for a longer period of time.
2.5 Maintenance and service calendar
The cockpit, casing, handrails and entire frame must be cleaned after every training
session with a moist towel (no solvent!) in order to avoid damage caused by sweat.
After 150 hours of operation, the maintenance symbol reminds you to clean the
treadmill. After you have cleaned the treadmill and checked all components, turn o
the symbol by simultaneously pressing the INCLINE up and INCLINE down buttons.
The following routine work must be done in the specied time intervals:
