Adjusting Running Belt Alignment (if the belt is pulling to one side)
The alignment of the mat has been pre-set at the factory, however, the mat can be caused to run
out-of-line by a user’s running style (eg, more weight on one foot), or if it is placed on an uneven
surface - so it may need adjusting from time to time. If the mat is running out of alignment it will
track towards either the left or right hand side of the running deck
If gaps are not alike follow adjustments below:

Starting Your Workout
Begin each workout with a Warm Up session -
a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.
1. Get onto the treadmill, using the handrails for support, and place your feet on the side rails
(either side of the running belt).
2. Activate the treadmill (using the details found in this manual).
3.
The treadmill will always start at the lowest speed, step onto the mat and walk at the same
speed.
4. Continue the rest of your workout.
Finishing Your Workout
1. Turn the treadmill to the lowest speed and incline settings.
2. Using the handrails for support place your feet on the side rails (either side of the running
belt).
3. Stop the treadmill.
4. Turn the treadmill off at the main power switch and remove the plug from the electrical
outlet.
5.
Remove the safety key.
6. If necessary, wipe the treadmill down with a damp cloth.
Correct Running Form
1. Run in the centre of the running mat.
2.
Keep your head erect and look straight ahead.
3. Shoulders should be square and level, don’t round your shoulders or swing them forwards
or backwards.
4. Keep your torso erect with the chest up so there’s plenty of room for the diaphragm to
move for proper breathing actions.
5.
Do not lean forwards, backwards or slouch, as all of these posture deviations can place
a lot of stress on the lower back, interfering with proper running mechanics and possibly
causing lower back injury.
6. Feet should be pointed straight ahead and land directly under the hips.
