Personal safety Before you start using the equipment, you should consult your physician that this type of exercise is suitable for you from a health perspective. Particularly affected are persons who: have a hereditary disposition to high blood pressure or heart disease, are over the age of 45, smoke, have high cholesterol values, are overweight and/or have not exercised regularly in the past year.
Safety Key The equipment has an EMERGENCY STOP mechanism for your safety. The equipment may only be operated when the safety key is properly attached to the contact point of the cockpit. The equipment will automatically stop immediately if the safety key is no longer on the contact point. That is why you should attach the safety key string with the clip to your clothing before training.
Set-up place The equipment should only be used indoors, in a sufficiently heated and dry area (ambient temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be used outdoors or in rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The equipment should only be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature between 5°C and 45°C.
Please contact your contract partner in such a case. The equipment should no longer be used until it has been repaired. When needed, only use original Taurus spare parts. Check the tightness of all screw connections once a month.
The equipment may be cleaned of dust, dirt and sweat using a damp cloth. The use of solvents should be strictly avoided. Also, make sure that no liquids (e. g. sweat) get into the openings of the equipment (e. g. console). Errors and error diagnosis The equipment runs through regular quality controls during production.
Care and maintenance The most important maintenance measure is taking care of the running belt. It includes the adjustment, tensioning and lubrication of the running belt. Damage caused due to a lack of care or negligence will not be covered by the warranty. Thus, check for maintenance in regular intervals.
Page 13
Tensioning the belt If the running belt slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, a noticeable jerking will be noticed while running), the running belt must be tightened again. In most cases, the cause for the slipping is a straining of the belt through usage.
In order to be able to optimally lubricate the treadmill, the running belt must be lifted slightly. Then apply some silicone spray on the entire running deck. Apply three short (approximately 1 second) sprays of silicone lubricant between the belt and the running deck.
ASSEMBLY Package contents The package contains the parts represented in the illustration, including a power cable with mains plug. If one of the illustrated parts is missing, please contact your contract partner.
