MAINTENANCE
LEVELING
Once the unit has been placed into its final position for doing exercise, make sure that the
treadmill sits flat on the floor and that it is level. This can be achieved by doing the following:
A) - Switch the treadmill on to see if the console shows that the treadmill is at zero inclination
level.
B) – Figure 5. Once you have checked the inclination, place a spirit level on the running belt
and screw the adjustable feet (V) either in or out to level up the belt.
It is advisable to do this by regulating the two adjustable feet.
MOVEMENT & STORAGE
NOTE: Lift and roll the treadmill using two people.
NOTE: To prevent accidents DO NOT move the treadmill across uneven floors.
Figure 6. The treadmill is easier to roll if the incline is higher than zero. Unplug the power cord
prior to moving the treadmill. To move the treadmill, tilt the treadmill, so that the front wheels
(W) rest on the floor.
LUBRICATION
Figure 7. Use the bottle of lubricant (h) to lubricate the inside of the belt in order to keep your
unit in top condition and to ensure that friction between the belt and the board is kept to a
minimum (due to different running styles, always apply more lubrication to the area where you
place your feet during the exercise). It is advisable to lubricate the base of the belt every 3-12
months, depending on how often it is used.
If the belt starts to slip after lubrication, then check the tension of the belt. To tension the belt,
Figure 6, take the Allen key (m) and with the machine set to 2.5 miles/hr (4 km/h) turn screws
(R & L) one full turn in a clockwise direction.
