BEGIN TRAINING

Always hold the handrail for support when getting on or off
the treadmill and when changing the speed during exercise.
Do not jump off the running belt while it is moving!

NOTE! Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of the
running belt. Do not stand on the running belt.

Press the HARE key once. The belt will start moving at 1.5
km/h (or 1.0 mph). Steady yourself by holding onto the
handlebars and carefully stepping onto the moving belt.
Increase speed by pressing the HARE key until the desired
speed is reached. To slow down, press the TORTOISE key.

NOTE! Never step onto the running belt at speeds greater
than 1.5 km/h or 1.0 mph.

Check that the running belt is aligned and centered on the
treadmill bed.

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT

Do not adjust the elevation while the running belt is moving.
Make sure the tether key is installed and power is on.

TO INCREASE ELEVATION

Stand on the rear end of the treadmill, when the running belt
is completely stopped. Move the elevation control lever
located on the left handlebar forward. The back of the
treadmill will gradually go down increasing the elevation.
Release the lever when the desired elevation has been
reached. Resume your workout by pressing the HARE key.

TO DECREASE ELEVATION

To decrease the elevation move to the front of the treadmill.
Make sure the running belt is completely stopped. Move the
elevation control lever located on the left handlebar forward.
The rear half of the treadmill will begin to rise decreasing the
elevation. When the treadmill reaches the desired elevation
level, release the lever. Resume your workout.

THE PAUSE FEATURE

If you wish to pause the treadmill for a while, press the STOP
key once. The runnings belt stops. All exercise data including
current speed and elevation are stored temporarily in the
memory of the meter for 1-5 minutes (depending on the set
pause time-out duration). To continue exercising press the
HARE key. The treadmill will return to its last speed and
resume the time, distance and energy consumption
counters.

If the STOP key is pressed twice or when the pause time has
expired, the meter will continue displaying the cumulative
training values, but it is not possible to continue the workout
from those values. The display will return to the weight entry
mode by pressing the RESET or ENTER keys.

NOTE! Do not remove the tether key when you pause the
treadmill. This will stop the treadmill and the elapsed timer.

COMPLETE  YOUR EXERCISE SESSION

Grasp the handlebars and press the TORTOISE key.
Gradually slow your pace to an easy walk. Press STOP and
keep walking until the treadmill comes to a complete stop.

*

Remember to strech your muscles following any
exercise program.

*

Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.
Never leave the safety tether key in the treadmill.

*

Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and
from the treadmill.

*

Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all
pathways and out of childrens' reach.

*

If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents.

ADJUSTMENTS

Monitor belt tracking during exercise and make adjustments
as needed (described below).

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT

The running belt should remain centered at all times.
Normally when the unit is in the horiziontal position and the
belt properly tightened the belt will stay in the middle. It is,
however, possible for the belt to be pushed to one side due
to the user's running style (e.g. more weight on one foot).
The alignment of the belt is adjusted by turning the two bolts
at the back of the treadmill. Proceed then as follows:

1.

Turn the power switch on and increase the
treadmill's speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).

2.

If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment
bolt 1/8 turn clockwise and the right adjustment
bolt 1/8 turn anticlockwise.

3.

If the belt drifts to the right, turn the right
adjustment bolt 1/8 turn clockwise and the left
adjustment bolt 1/8 turn anticlockwise.
