Transport Rollers! The CURVE is equipped with two rollers on the bottom front of the device for short transport distances. A handle is welded to the frame at the back of the device. Using this handle the entire unit can be lifted and maneuvered like a wheelbarrow.
The treadmill is accelerated, slowed or stopped through the shifting of weight and the resulting running speed. The CURVE functions without a motor, so there is no emergency stop device. The treadmill stops on its own. It can take some time be- fore the device stops depending on the running speed.
WOODWAY treadmill you may initially notice higher surface grip than you have ex- perienced before. The more you use your treadmill, the more you will get used to the grip. As with all treadmills, it is also important on a WOODWAY treadmill not to shuffle your feet if possible.
This also minimizes carpet wear. Assembly The CURVE slatted treadmill is usually delivered and installed free place of use by WOODWAY or an authorized carrier. The handrail assembly and the side panels can be removed to reduce the weight and facilitating transport.

Safety Equipment 7.2.1 Reverse Brake The CURVE non-motorized running face is designed so that the user drives the run- ning surface and controls its speed. This is only possible due to the innovative curved design combined with gravity. Only Forwards...
7.2.2 Safety Railing The CURVE is equipped with a railing that extends along both sides and is bowed around the front. This allows the user to maintain direct contact, so as to obtain safety and stability along the entire curvature of the running surface.
Operation 7.3.4 Calculating Maximum Heart Rate To determine your maximum heart rate subtract your age from the number 220 (general formula). The difference is an approximation of your maximum heart rate. This formula is used by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
Operation 7.3.6 Training Frequency At the beginning of training allow yourself enough time to get into shape. After a break from training, you should also allow sufficient time to rebuild physical condi- tion. Endurance training! The priority is regularity and persistence of training - not the intensity. Fitness experts recommend in the beginning training three to four times per week within your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes per workout.
Operation 7.4.2 Transmitter Function The signal will only be transmitted if the transmitter is within one meter of the re- ceiver. Note that variations in the heart rate display can occur when the transmitter ® is too close to other Polar devices.
Operation 7.5.1 Display Parameters Manual user speed control (SPEED) • Display for TIME, CALORIES, DISTANCE and PULSE • Running surface speed indicator (SPEED) • 7.5.2 Display Description The indicators in the display indicate the following data: SPEED: Displays the current speed in km/h. TIME: Displays the cumulative training time.
Start running slowly and hold on to the railing. The display will be activated by the movement. If you are using the motorless CURVE for the first time, continue walking at a slow speed for a few minutes. In this way you familiarize yourself with the device and learn the reaction to longer and shorted steps.
