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 qualied 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 t the
outlet have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 220 - 240 Volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in the gure. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet with the

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

Using your Treadmill provides you with several benets, it will improve your physical tness, tone

muscle and in conjunction with calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

THE WARM UP PHASE

This stage helps get the blood owing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce

the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each
stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch.
If it hurts, STOP.

THE EXERCISE PHASE

This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
stronger. Work at your own pace, but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout.

The rate of work should be sufcient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the

graph below.

TR 1500 - T

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now
be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.

As you get tter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week,

and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

MUSCLE TONING

To tone muscle while on your Treadmill you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are

also trying to improve your tness, you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal

during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase
resistance, making your legs work harder than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep your
heart rate in the target zone.

WEIGHT LOSS

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more

calories you will burn.

WARM UP STAGE

Please consult with your doctor or professional person before use.
Before you use the motorized treadmill, please learn how to control the machine. It is important to
understand how to start the machine, stop the machine and how to adjust the speed of the machine. After
that, you can begin using the treadmill. Stand on anti-slip pads located on both sides of the running deck
and hold the handle bar with both hands. Keep the machine at the low speed of about 1.6~3.2 Km/h, then
test the running machine speed by using one foot. Once you are used to the speed, then you can run on the
machine and you can add the speed between 3 and 5 Km/h. Keep the speed about 10 minutes,
then stop the machine.

23

TR 1500 - T

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

EXERCISE STAGE

Learn how to adjust the speed and incline before using. Walk at about 1 km at a stable velocity and write
down the time, it will take you about 15-25 minutes. If walking at 4.8 km/h, it will take you about 12 minutes
in 1 km. If you feel comfortable at the stable velocity, you can add the speed and incline.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Warm up at a slow speed. Once started, gradually add more speed every 2 minutes to ensure body is warm
and ready for exercise. Once comfortable and warm, increase speed to desired speed level.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

The cycle time: 3 - 5 times per week and 15 - 60 minutes per workout.
You can control the running intensity through adjusting the velocity and incline of treadmill. We suggest

that you don’t set the incline at rst; improve the incline is the effective way to strengthen the exercise’s

intensity.
Consult with your physician or health professional before starting your workout. Professionals can help you
make up the suitable exercise time-chart according to your age and health condition, determine the velocity
of movement, and the intensity of exercise. Please stop at once, If you feel chest tightness, chest pain,

irregular heart beat, difculty breathing , dizziness or other discomfort during exercise. You should consult

with your physician or health professional.
If you have limited experience in using a treadmill you can follow the below guideline:
Speed 0.8-3.0 Km/h Beginner
Speed 3.0-4.5 Km/h Slow walking
Speed 4.5-6.0 Km/h Normal walking
Speed 6.0-7.5 Km/h Fast Walking
Speed 7.5-9.0 Km/h Jogging
Speed 9.0-12.0 Km/h Fast Jog/Run

ATTENTION: VELOCITY OF MOVEMENT AT ≤6 KM/H, IS A NORMAL WALKING SPEED.
THE VELOCITY OF MOVEMENT AT ≥9 KM/H IS CONSIDERED A RUNNING SPEED.

MAINTENANCE

Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the life time of this unit.
Performance is maximised when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.

WARNING

The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is
why we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the serviceable life of
your treadmill.
Failing to do this may void your warranty.

• Unplug power cord before maintenance.

• Stop treadmill before folding.

GENERAL CLEANING

• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge
and frame.

• A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the
textured belt.

• This task should be done once a month. Allow to dry before using.

• On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust building up. Once a year,
you should remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may have accumulated.

GENERAL CARE

• Check parts for wear before use.

• Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.

• If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact our help line.

Take care to protect carpets and oor in case of leakages. This product is a machine that

contains moving parts which have been greased/lubricated and could leak out.

25

TR 1500 - T

MAINTENANCE

General cleaning of the unit will greatly prolong the treadmill. Keep treadmill clean by dusting regularly.
Be sure to clean the exposed part of the deck on either side of the running deck and also the side rails.
This reduces the buildup of foreign material underneath the walking belt.

The top of the belt may be cleaned with a wet, soapy cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from inside
the motorized treadmill frame or from underneath the belt.

WARNING: Always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet before removing the motor cover.

At least once a year remove the motor cover and vacuum under the motor cover.

RUNNING BELT AND DECK LUBRICATION

This treadmill is equipped with a pre-lubricated, low maintenance deck system. The belt/ deck friction may
play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill, thus requiring periodic lubrication. We recommend
a periodic inspection of the deck.

We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following:

• Light user (less than 3 hours/ week) annually

• Medium user (3-5 hours/ week) every six months

• Frequent user (more than 5 hours/ week) every three months

ATTENTION: Any repair must be done by a professional technician.

After 2 hours of use it is recommended that the treadmill be turned off for at least 10 minutes
before being used again.

To avoid slipping during running as well as possibly damaging the belt it is important that the belt is kept
tight over the rollers. You can adjust the distance between the plates and the belt. Be careful not to
make belt too tight or too loose.

AEROBIC EXERCISE

Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.

Aerobic exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart − your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise tness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for

example). Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should form part of your
entire exercise routine.

WEIGHT TRAINING

Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.

MUSCLE CHART
TROJAN TR 1500 TREADMILL

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximise the benets of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity

level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be
maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your

target zone. You can nd your target zone in the table below.

During the rst few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone as

you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your
target zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two ngers
on your wrist. Take a six second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment, a
few minutes per workout.

Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic

tness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important

to work at your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your

aerobic tness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these

essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.

• Monitor your pulse frequently.

• Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

WARM UP & COOL DOWN

WORKOUT GUIDELINES CLEANING

Each workout should include the following three parts:

1. A WARM-UP: 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

2. TRAINING ZONE EXERCISE: 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your

training zone. (Note: During the rst few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart

rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes).

3. COOL-DOWN: 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the exibility of your muscles

and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day

of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to ve

workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
