Tunturi 17FTRN3000, User Manual

• If you feel lubrication or your fingertips are shiny, there is
sufficient lubrication on the running belt�
• If you do not feel lubrication or your fingertips are dusty or
rough, apply lubricant (±10 ml�) in the middle of the running
deck under the running belt and let the equipment operate at
5km/h for at least 5 minutes�
• After lubrication, do not fold the equipment before having done
a workout for 2 minutes with a speed of at least 5 km/h�
This will cause the lubricant being fully absorbed by the running
belt and being spread evenly�
‼ NOTE
• When 5 km/h is too fast for you, do walk at your desired speed,
but extend the duration to at least 5 minutes�

Belt adjustments
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running
on a reasonably level surface� If the frame is not level, the front and
back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be
necessary�
The treadmill is designed to keep the running belt reasonably centred
while in use� It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while
the belt is running with no one on it� After a few minutes of use,
the running belt should have a tendency to centre itself� If, during
use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are
necessary�
EXCEPTION
During rehabilitation where the user is using one leg much stronger
than the other, it might happen that the running belt drifts to one
side� In these cases you should not adjust unless the running belt
does not centre itself during normal condition usage�
Belt tension adjustment
Adjustment must be made from the rear roller� The adjustment bolts
are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps�
- Tighten the rear roller bolts (clockwise) only enough to prevent
slippage at the front roller� Turn both running belt tension
adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for
proper tension by walking on the belt at a low speed, making sure
the belt does not slip� Keep tensioning the bolts until the belt
stops slipping�
- If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem
may be a loose Motor drive belt under the front cover�
- Do Not Over-tighten
Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure�

Centre the running belt (fig. F-5)
Centre the running belt is needed when your running belt is not
tracking in the centre of your running surface� This is noticed easily
when the gap between side landing and running belt is significantly
bigger on one side compared to the other side�
This can be caused by a few reasons, such as:
REASON 1
You do a workout using one leg more powerful in push off during
your workout� This causes the belt being pushed aside, but will
correct automatically when let the running belt run unloaded for a few
minutes�
REASON 2
Your treadmill is not levelled horizontally, where gravity pulls the
running belt slowly to the lowest end of the treadmill� This must be
corrected by levelling the treadmill correctly� as this cannot be solved
by any other adjustment�
REASON 3
The running belt is not centred correctly between the front and rear
roller drum� This needs be corrected by adjusting the running belt
tracking as described below�
To adjust the running belt’s tracking use the Allen key being provided
with your treadmill�
- Set your treadmill at a speed of ± 5 km/h, not running on it�
- When the running belt is tracking to the right side�
Turn the left-hand rear roller adjustment bold, located on the rear
end in a socket in the rear roller cover, counter clockwise for 1/4
turn�
- When the running belt is tracking to the left side�
Turn the right-hand rear roller adjustment bold, located on the rear
end in a socket in the rear roller cover, counter clockwise for 1/4
turn�
- Await ±2 minutes to give the running belt the time to respond to
the adjustment before repeating the adjustment steps if needed to
get to the desired result�
‼ NOTE
• Remember, a small adjustment can make a big difference, so
make the adjustments with small steps at the time�

The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use
and walking/running characteristics� Some users will affect tracking
differently� Expect to make adjustments as required to centre the
tread-belt� Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern
as the belt is used� Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills�
‼ NOTE
• Damage to the running belt because of incorrect running-belt
adjustments is not covered by the products warranty�
Troubleshooting
Despite continuous quality control, defects and malfunctions caused
by individual components may occur in the equipment� In most cases
it’s unnecessary to take the whole device in for repair, as it’s usually
sufficient to replace the defective part�
