appliance. The following precautions must always be followed:

WARNING:

:: Never use extension cords between the treadmill and your wall
outlet. The device’s maximum power consumption is 10 A (EU)
/20 A (US). Outlets with fl uctuating voltage of more than 5 %,
may result in erratic performance or cause damage to treadmill
electronics. Using electrical power other than that which has
been specifi ed in this manual, will ultimately void any
warranty, implied or otherwise.

WARNING: to reduce any risk to persons:

:: Keep hands clear of any moving parts. Never place hands, feet
or any other objects into any opening or under the treadmill.
:: Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then
remove plug from outlet.
:: Close supervision is necessary when the treadmill used by, on,
or near children, invalids, or disabled persons.

environment measuring +10°C to +35°C. Air humidity must
never exceed 90 %.
:: Do not attempt any servicing or adjustment other than those
described in this manual. The given instructions must be
followed carefully.
:: Never operate this treadmill if it has a damaged cord or plug,
if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
Return the treadmill to a service center for repair.

J6 : HA ND RAIL AND INTERFACE (FIGURES 2 3 AND )

Turn the user interface until the holes for the locking screws are in
position and then attach by tightening the 4 screws (M6x12) on the
rear side. Cut the green ribbon and attach the corner pieces to the hand
rail with Allen screws, do not tighten much yet. Lift the handrail to
the upright position, place the cover tubes between corner pieces and
the frame and thread the attachment bolts through the tubes. Tighten
the bolts with nuts and the Allen screws on both sides. Place the
transportation wheels on the axles on the lower end of the hand rail, set
the locking sleeve at the end of the axle and attach it by knocking the
assembly tool gently. Attach the 2 screws (M6x12) on the front side of
the interface and remove the protective fi lm from the display.

J6F: HAND RAIL AND INTERFACE (FIGURES 5, 6 AND 7)

SAFETY TETHER KEY

Turn the user interface until the holes for the locking screws are in position and
then attach by tightening the 4 screws (M6x12) on the rear side. Cut the green
ribbon of the hand rail. Push the ends of the U-shaped frame of the front into the
hand rail ends and push the attachment bolts into place. Run the elevation to 0
% (see Power Cord, Tether Key and Interface) and lift the hand rail to the upright
position. Push the U-shaped frame with the transportation wheels into place: two
people are needed for the installation. Tighten the attachment bolts carefully on
both sides. Attach the lower end of the gas spring to the folding frame with a
screw and a nut. Attach the 2 screws (M6x12) on the front side of the interface
and remove the protective fi lm from the display.

POWER CORD AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Plug the socket end of the power cord into the treadmill at the lower right front
corner. Before connecting the device to a power source, make sure that local
voltage matches that indicated on the type plate. The treadmill operates at either
230 V or 120 V (US-version). Turn on the power using the switch next to the
socket on the treadmill.

This treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce
the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounded conductor and a 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. Do not use extension cables when
connecting the equipment to the power source.

The treadmill cannot be used if the tether key is not properly installed
in the meter base; if the key is removed from its place near the electronic
display, the treadmill will immediately stop. Insert the safety tether key
into the meter base. Ensure that the clip of the safety tether key is
properly attached to your clothing; as the cord tightens, make sure the
clip does not detach itself from your clothing before the safety tether key
disconnects from the user interface.

EXERCISING ::

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the
right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart-rate. First
fi nd your maximum heart-rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with
added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart-rate, please use the
following formula as a guide:

Women: 226 - age Men: 220 - age

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person.
The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If
you belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier, ask a doctor to
measure your maximum heart-rate for you.

We have defi ned three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted
training.

DANGER! Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualifi 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 fi t
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician.

NOTE! The version for use on a nominal

120-volt circuit has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the
same confi guration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product.

Beginner: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven’t
exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour
each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners’
respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your
improvement.

Trainer: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fi tness. Even reasonable effort
develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30
minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still
further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same
time!

Active trainer: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fi ttest and presupposes long-endurance
workouts.

BEGINNING AN EXERCISE SESSION

:: To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end each workout
by stretching.
:: Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of the running belt.
Do not stand on the running belt.
:: Always hold the handrail for support when getting on or off the
treadmill and when changing the speed during exercise. Do not
jump off the running belt while it is moving!
:: If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal symptoms
while exercising, stop your workout at once and consult a
physician.

FINISHING AN EXERCISE SESSION

:: Never leave the safety tether key in the treadmill.
:: Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.
:: Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and from the
treadmill.
:: If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a damp cloth. Do
not use solvents.
:: Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all pathways and out
of childrens’ reach.

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO CONTINUE

INTERFACE ::

FUNCTION KEYS

Manual is the default basic exercise mode when the device is switched
on. In Manual mode you control the treadmill yourself.

In order to reach the goals you have set, you’ll need to keep fi nding the
motivation to continue so you achieve your ultimate goal: life-long health
and a new quality of living.

:: Set yourself realistic targets.
:: Progress step-by-step according to your schedule.
:: Keep a fi tness diary and write down your progress.
:: Change your way of exercising from time to time.
:: Use your imagination.

One important aspect of your training is versatility. Varying your training
exercises different muscle groups and helps maintain motivation.
