CLEANING THE TREADMILL

Wipe the treadmill surfaces, especially the
handlebars and meter from dust with a damp
cloth or towel. Do not use solvents. Use a small
vacuum nozzle to carefully vacuum around all
visible components (belt, running deck, side rails
etc.). To clean the underside of the treadmill, lift
the running deck to the storage position.
Also keep the area near the treadmill
NOTE!
clean. While in use, the treadmill gathers dust
that may cause problems in the operation of the
equipment.

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT

Monitor belt tracking during exercise and make
adjustments as needed. The belt should run in the
center of the treadmill. Alignment is not usually
needed, provided
•
the treadmill is placed on an even, solid and
horizontal surface and the belt is correctly
tensioned
•
the alignment of the belt is correct
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.
Align the belt according to the following
instructions:
Turn the power switch on and increase the
1.
treadmill's speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).
If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left
2.
adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the right
adjustment bolt 1/4 turn anti-clockwise. If the
belt drifts to the right, turn the right adjustment
bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the left adjustment
bolt 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.
If the belt remains centered the adjustment
3.
is correct. If not, continue to make small
adjustments as above until the belt is correctly
aligned. If the belt is allowed run across to one
side for long periods of time the edges of the
belt may be damaged and the treadmill may not
8
continue to operate correctly. Any damage to the
belt caused by the lack of necessary adjustment
will not be covered by the warranty.

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION

The belt must be tensioned if it begins to slip on
the rollers. In normal use, however, keep the belt
as loose as possible! The belt tension is adjusted
by turning the same screws as used for aligning
the running belt. If turning the screws will not
effect the belt tension, please contact your local
Tunturi dealer.
Increase the treadmill's speed to 5 km/h (3
1.
mph).
Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount,
2.
1/4 turn clockwise.
Try to slow the belt down by holding onto the
3.
handrails and braking as you walk (as if you
were walking downhill).
If the belt slips, turn another 1/4 turn and repeat
the test. When braking heavily the belt may
slip. If the belt keeps slipping despite repeated
adjustments, please contact your local Tunturi
dealer.

MALFUNCTIONS

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. Always give the model, serial
number of your equipment and in case of
malfunctions also conditions of use, nature of
malfunction and any error code.
When you encounter unusual behavior from the
treadmill, simply turn the power switch off, wait
1 minute and turn the power switch on to reset
the treadmill. This should clear incidental errors
and ready the treadmill for normal operation
again. If after you have reset the treadmill by
turning the power switch off and on again, and
the treadmill is still not operational, contact your
local Tunturi dealer for service.
If you require spare parts, always give the model,
serial number of your equipment and the spare
part number for the part you need. The spare part
list is at the back of this manual. Use only spare
parts mentioned in the spare part list.
