CARE, MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, please turn off and unplugged the treadmill before cleaning or routine maintenance.
CLEANING
The treadmill can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Be careful not get excessive
moisture on the display panel as this might cause an electrical hazard or electronics to fail. Please keep the treadmill, specially, the
console, out of direct sunlight to prevent screen damage.
STORAGE
Store the treadmill in a clean and dry environment. Ensure the master power switch is off and is at the off position and the power
plug is un-plugged from the electrical wall outlet.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem

Potential Cause
1. Not plugged in.

Treadmill will not start.

2. Safety tether key not installed.

3. House circuit breaker tripped.
4. Treadmill circuit breaker tripped.

Running belt slips.

Running belt hesitates
When stepped on.
Running belt is off centered.

Running belt not tight enough.

Corrections
1. Put the power plug into the electrical
wall outlet.
2. Install the safety tether key.
3. Reset or have an electrician replace
the breaker in home.
4. Wait five minutes and then press the
switch back in.
Adjust running belt tension.

1. Not enough lubrication applied

onto the running deck.
2. Running belt too tight.

1. Apply silicone lubricant.

Running belt tension not even

across the rear roller.

Center the running belt.

14

2. Adjust running belt tension.

The running belt is adjusted at the factory; it may come loose during transportation and from use. After prolong use of running, the
belt will stretch out. If the running belt is shifting to the left, turn on the main power switch of treadmill and let the running belt run
at the speed of 2~3 km/h. Using the hex key provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction.
You should see the belt start to correct itself by moving back toward the center. Repeat the above procedure until the running belt
is centered. If the running belt is shifting to the right, turn on the main power switch of treadmill and let
the running belt run at the speed of 2~3 km/h. Using the hex key provided, turn the right rear roller
adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. You should see the belt start to correct itself by
moving back toward the center. Repeat the above procedure until the running belt is centered. If the
running belt is slipping during use, turn off and unplugged the treadmill. Using the hex key provided,
turn both left and right rear roller adjustment bolts 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction for the same
distance, turn on the main power switch of treadmill and let the running belt run at the speed of 2~3
km/h. You should now walk on to the running belt to determine if the running belt is still slipping.
Repeat the above procedure until the running belt is not slipping.

Lubrication
The treadmills have already been spread with "Silicone Oil" in advance before leaving the
manufacturing plant. Silicone oil is without volatility and has gradually permeated through the running
belt. There will be no need to re-spread the oil in normal circumstances.
To maintain the running belt, we have included a small bottle of "Silicone Oil". "Silicone Oil" may be
re-spread once the resistance has been increased and the running belt starts rubbing against the
running deck. To hold open the running belt from two sides, apply the silicone oil with an even motion
on the center of the running deck. Allow the silicone oil to 'set' for one minute before using the
treadmill.
Attention: Only use "Silicone Oil" lubricants for this equipment. In addition, do not add any other
oil ingredient; otherwise the treadmill will be damaged. Do not over-lubricate the walking board.
Excess lubricant should be wiped off with a clean towel.

RUNNING BELT ADJUSTMENT & LUBRICATION

Running Belt Adjustment:

WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE

A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the entire program at least two to three
times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months you can increase your workouts to four or five times per
week.
AEROBIC EXERCISE is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise
improves the fitness of your lungs and heart. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles eg: legs, arms
and buttocks. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. It should begin every session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise
by heating up and stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
COOL DOWN at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired muscles.
