ESSENTIAL TREADMILL TIPS....... START OFF, ON THE RIGHT FOOT! Following these simple TIPS will help you to get started: LOCATION - LOCATION: •
•
The most important point when choosing which room to use your treadmill is to avoid cold, damp places such as a garage / conservatory. Cold damp areas will allow moisture to build up under the motor cover and cause damage to the motherboard. Avoid places where pet hair / dirt will come into contact with the treadmill. Also avoiding places near exterior doors helps to prevent excessive dirt / water coming into contact with the treadmill.
WHAT SURFACE IS BEST? • • •
Find a room with a level surface and try to use a soft mat to prevent any damage to your floor. This will also help to reduce the impact when running on the treadmill. A solid concrete floor would be best however this is not always possible. If the room you are using has a laminated floor then expect to feel some “bounce” when running. This is largely due to the fact that laminated flooring usually has a soft underlay and also bearing in mind that the floor may not be perfectly level.
RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT: •
•
All treadmill running belts will come out of alignment over time. This is normal and occurs due to a number of factors. Uneven surfaces will cause alignment issues and some people find that being heavy footed on one side can also cause the belt to come out of alignment. Keeping the belt correctly aligned is a key part in looking after your treadmill. More detailed information can be found in the next section or in your user manual.
LUBE IT UP? •
All treadmill belts will come pre lubricated when new. You will not need to lubricate the belt for the first few months however the period of time between lubrication will largely depend on how often the treadmill is being used. More specific information regarding lubrication can be found in the next section of this e-book.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.......... LOOK AFTER YOUR TREADMILL & SAVE ££’s Regular maintenance and safety checks extends the lifespan of your treadmill and ensures safe operation: BEFORE EVERY USE: 1. Always inspect the safety key to ensure that it stops the treadmill when pulled away from the display. 2. Check and tighten any loose screws / fittings. Even under normal use, fittings may come loose so always check to ensure everything is tight. Loose fittings may cause excessive wear / increase the chance of injury. 3. Check the power cable for damage and replace if necessary. 4. Wipe down the outer surfaces of the treadmill with a clean damp lint free cloth. Make sure the cloth is only damp and not soaked. Do not use any strong cleaning chemicals i.e alcohol based products and never spray any liquids directly on to your treadmill.
ONCE A MONTH: 1. Perform the basic daily checks listed above. 2. Inspect the running belt for excessive wear. Contact your retailer if the belt looks damaged. 3. Check the belt and adjust the tension / alignment if necessary. Refer to the user manual or maintenance instructions within this guide and DO NOT overtighten.
3-4 MONTHS: 1. Perform both the basic daily & monthly checks listed above. 2. Lubricate the running surface with the lubricant provided. Alternatively you can purchase a good quality treadmill lubricant (silicone spray) online. Lubricant goes between the under side of the belt and the running surface. Please refer to the user manual or maintenance instructions within this guide and DO NOT over lubricate the running surface or use lubricant on the side you stand on.
EVERY 6 MONTHS: 1. Perform all the daily, monthly and quarterly checks listed above. 2. Power off the treadmill and allow a few minutes for the unit to discharge before removing the power cable. Now remove the motor cover (shown in the components guide section). DO NOT touch any electrical components to prevent the risk of shock or damage to the treadmill. Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove any dust. Be careful not to knock any parts while cleaning and do not use any liquids. A vaccum cleaner is sufficient to clean the internal parts. 3. Inspect the motor belt for wear / damage. If the belt looks cracked or frayed then contact your retailer for a replacement. The motor belt should easily last a year under normal use.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.... FOLLOWING THE CORRECT PROCEDURES Following the correct maintenance proceedures helps to avoid costly repairs and ensures trouble free exercise: WHEN TO ADJUST THE RUNNING BELT: •
•
People often ask when to adjust the belt, this largely depends on how often the treadmill is being used and can be confirmed by literally looking at the belt and checking if the belt looks centered. The belt should be in the middle of the platform with an even gap either side. If one side of the belt is loose then the belt will drift towards the loose side. For example if the belt is drifting towards the left then you know that the left side needs adjusting.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RUNNING BELT: • • • •
•
•
Firstly you need to establish which side needs adjusting. If the belt has moved over towards the left then you will need to tighten the left side of the treadmill. Locate the relevant tension bolt, in this case it would be the left side (end cap shown in component guide section above). Before you start making any adjustments, make sure the machine is switched on and the treadmill is running at 3-4 KMH without anyone running on the belt. BE CAREFUL of moving parts and DO NOT put your fingers near the running belt. REMEMBER to remove any jewelry / loose fitting items of clothing and tie back any long hair. Now using the allen key provided, turn the bolt clockwise by only a small amount (QUARTER TURN). Once this first adjustment is done, you will need to allow the machine to keep running for a minute to allow the belt to move over. After adjusting the belt, walk or run for a few minutes to test. If the belt is still needs adjusting then repeat the adjustment procedure again then re test.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.... FOLLOWING THE CORRECT PROCEDURES HOW TO LUBRICATE THE RUNNING BELT: •
•
If the running platform drys out, you will feel the belt sticking when trying to run / walk. You can lubricate the belt with either the oil provided or silicone spray. The platform under the belt should feel well lubricated when touched. To lubricate the platform you need to lift the edge of the belt and squit / spray some lubricant on the platform (inline) with where you would run. Do this on both sides and make sure you dont use too much. After lubricating the platform you should allow the treadmill to run for a few minutes to spead the lubricant.
