    operational instructions Adjusting Running Mat Tension Note: Check lubrication before adjusting the mat as symptoms can be similar. The tension of the mat has been pre-set at the factory; however, with use the mat can stretch slightly and become loose. If the mat is too loose you will find it starts to slip during use. To tighten the mat: 1. Set the treadmill to run at 3km/h. 2. Locate the adjustment screws at the end of the treadmill (One on each side). 3. Using the allen key provided, adjust both screws by 1/2 turn clockwise. 4. Re-test the mat tension. If the mat still slips, repeat step 3. TIP: When correctly tensioned you should be able to lift the edge of the mat about 5 - 7cm - please only check this when the power is turned off.
  • Page 10: Operational Instructions

    operational instructions Deck Lubrication NOTE: Keeping the deck lubricated is the most important activity you can carry out to prolong the life of your treadmill. An insufficiently lubricated deck will cause the running mat, running deck and motor to wear out much quicker. How often you should lubricate depends on usage, we recommend the following: » Light use (less than 3 hours a week) - every 8 months. » Medium use (3 to 5 hours a week) - every 4 months. » Heavy use (more than 5 hours a week) - every 2 months. You can check for proper lubrication levels at any time by doing the following: 1. Disconnect the treadmill from the power supply. 2. Fold up the running deck, so the treadmill is in the storage position. 3. Put your hand underneath the mat and feel along the running deck, as close to the centre of the deck as you can. » If your hand gets a light coating of lubricant then no further lubrication is required. » If the surface feels dry and your hand feels clean, then apply more lubricant. NOTE: If in doubt apply a little lubricant. Your treadmill comes ready supplied with a bottle of lubrication oil - to use, apply a liberal amount to a lint free cloth and run cloth along the length of the running deck (underneath the mat). It’s important to try and get the lubricant as close to the centre of the deck as possible. Check the lubrication level as detailed above and re-apply with the cloth if necessary. If you need more lubricant, we recommend you use the Lube-N-Walk Treadmill Lubrication Kit, it can be obtained from local distributors - see the Contact Us details at the front of this manual.

  • Page 17: How Long Should I Exercise For

    How Long Should I Exercise For? That really depends on your current level of fitness. If you’re just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough. Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise. Heart Rate Training To get the most out of your new piece of fitness equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise at the right level of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Work out to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve different goals: Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being. Your sessions will need to be done at an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most days of the week. Weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes. Improving fitness levels - These sessions should be performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest between sessions. Calculating Your Target Heart Rate First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula “220 minus your age in years”. So, if you are 35 years old your estimated maximum heart rate is: • 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm) Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better health: • 185 x 60% = 111bpm NOTE: The important issue to remember with all estimated calculations is that they are just estimates - if you don’t feel comfortable exercising at your target then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with.
  • Page 18: Suggested Stretches

    fitness guide Suggested Stretches The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce. 1. Hamstring Stretch Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin. 2. Calf/Achilles Stretch With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles. 3. Quadriceps Stretch With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
