LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT
It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted
for proper operation. An unbalanced treadmill may cause belt
misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended.
Once you have placed the treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower
one or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom-front of the frame.
PROPER USAGE
SLED MODE
PROPER USAGE
The treadmill can be used in two modes; sled or walk/sprint. To use the
treadmill in sled mode, remove the harness so the user has access to the
upper and lower sled handlebars. To use the treadmill in walk / sprint
mode, connect the harness and adjust by using the instructions below.
Emergency dismount can be done by grabbing the front or side
handlebars and jumping with both feet on the side rails.
SLED MODE ADJUSTING THE HARNESS
After stepping onto the treadmill, slowly walk into the harness to check for
proper height. The harness should sit comfortably at about waist height.
If the harness needs to be adjusted, release the front connection
point and reconnect the harness at the correct height.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
The treadmill is equipped with two brakes, a sled brake and a speed brake. The
left hand side lever controls the sled brake and the right hand lever controls the
speed brake. The sled brake has 8 resistance settings and the speed brake has 11.
The brakes are designed to be used together or independently of each other.
The sled brake is designed to simulate the resistance created when pushing a
sled. When using this brake, resistance will be immediately applied to the belt.
The speed brake is designed to simulate the resistance created
when running with a parachute. When using this brake,
resistance will increase as the user increases speed.
