10. TRAINING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CORRECT TRAINING POSITION
• When walking or running on the treadmill, hold your torso erect, your head straight
and your knees slightly bend. This will reduce unnecessary shocks to the spine.
• Always run in the middle of the treadmill. Make sure that you are not too close to the
end of the treadmill.
• Always hold the handles for safety reasons. You should release the handles only if
you are very experienced and can move safely on the treadmill.
CORRECT TRAINING CLOTHING
• Wear suitable footwear. Do not wear sandals or similar footwear, and do not exercise
on the unit barefoot or wearing only socks.
• Wear suitable sportswear. Do not wear loose clothing that could catch on the unit
during training.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
If you experience any discomfort during training or should you need to dismount from
the unit for emergency reasons, proceed as follows.
1. Grasp the handles with both hands.
2. Place your rear foot on the respective slip-resistant surface on the side platform.
3. Now place your second foot on the slip-resistant surface on the other side platform.
4. Dismount carefully from the unit.
WARNING
• To prevent the risk of injury, stand with each foot on the respective foot platform
before turning on the treadmill.
• Always set the speed to the lowest level before getting on the treadmill, and then
increase the speed to the desired level.
• Getting on the treadmill at a high speed can result in loss of balance and cause you
to fall!
• Begin walking or running as soon as you are on the treadmill. Do not stand still on
the treadmill.
• Should you wish to pause training, dismount from the treadmill immediately. You can
always grasp the handle to help maintain your balance.

INTENSITY
The level of physical strain during training must exceed normal strain without making
you breathless and/or exhausted.
Your heart rate can serve as a suitable point of reference for effective training. Your
heart rate should be around 70% to 85% of your maximum heart rate during training.
Should you wish to manually check your heart rate against the measurement provided
by the treadmill training computer, you can proceed as follows:
•
Check your pulse manually (hold the pads of two fingers to your wrist and count the
number of pulse beats in a minute).
• Check your pulse using a suitable calibrated heart rate monitor (available at medical
supply shops).
CAUTION!
The heart rate monitor can be inaccurate. Excess strain can lead to injury and death.
Cease training immediately if you feel week.
