5.3 Care and Maintenance
The most important maintenance measure is the care of the running mat. This includes adjustment,
re tensioning and lubrication of the running mat. Damage resulting from insufficient or neglected
care is not covered by the warranty. You should therefore carry out maintenance checks at regular
intervals. Be very careful when adjusting and tightening the running mat, as a strong over voltage
or under voltage can cause damage to the equipment. The running mat is adjusted at the factory
according to the regulations before delivery. However, it may happen that the running mat slips
during transport.
By scanning the QR code with the camera function or QR code scanner app of
your smartphone/tablet, a video on general maintenance of a treadmill opens on
YouTube. The video serves to illustrate the maintenance points described in this
manual.
Please note that the video may not be available in your language or with
appropriate subtitles.
If you cannot scan QR codes, you can access all Sport-Tiedje videos on YouTube by first opening
YouTube and entering “Sport-Tiedje” in the search field.
5.3.1 Adjusting the Running Mat
During training, the running mat should run as centrally and straight as possible. The alignment
of the running mat can change depending on the stress and load. Another reason can be the
positioning of the equipment on an uneven surface.
⚠
CAUTION
During the following maintenance nobody must be on the treadmill!
1. Let the treadmill run at a speed of 5 km/h.
2. If the running mat deviates to the left, turn the left adjusting screw at the rear end of the device
max. one ¼ turn clockwise and the
right adjusting screw max. one ¼ turn
anticlockwise.
3. If the running mat deviates to the right,
turn the right adjusting screw at the rear
end of the device max. ¼ turn clockwise
and the left adjusting screw max. ¼ turn
anticlockwise.
4. Then observe the mat for about 30
seconds, as the change is not immediately
visible.
5. Repeat this procedure until the running
mat is straight again. If the running mat
cannot be adjusted, please contact your
contract partner.
