• Repairs and modifications on your own are not allowed.
• Once every one or two months, check that the screws, bolts and nuts are tightened correctly.
• In order to permanently ensure safety, regularly (i.e. once a year) check and maintain the equipment at a specialist store.
• All changes to the device that are not described in this manual may cause damage or directly endanger the health and life of the person exercising. Changes to the device may only be made by manufacturer’s service personnel or persons trained by them in this regard.
• All devices are subject to constant innovative activities in order to ensure high quality.
  For this reason, the manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes.
• Any questions or doubts related to the equipment should be directed to a specialist store.
• ATTENTION! Follow the general rules and regulations and safety measures applicable to the handling of electrical appliances.
• The device is powered by a mains voltage of 220V.
• All electrical devices emit electromagnetic radiation during operation. If other devices emitting such radiation (e.g. mobile phones) are placed near the electronic control system or cockpit, some values (such as heart rate) may be distorted.
• ATTENTION! Never make any modifications to the electrical network on your own. Entrust such changes to specialists.
• ATTENTION! Remember to unplug the power plug from the socket before starting any repairs, maintenance or cleaning of the equipment.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the device.
• If you are not going to use the equipment for a long time, unplug it from the power socket.
• Make sure that the electrical cable is not crushed and that its arrangement does not cause a risk of tripping over it.

GROUNDING

• Grounding protects against the risk of electric shock. The device has a cable and plug with grounding. The plug must be connected to a properly installed and properly grounded mains socket.
• DANGER! Improper connection of the cable may cause a risk of electric shock.
• Before connecting the device to the power supply, make sure that the local voltage corresponds to the type of plug.
• Do not modify the plug if it does not fit into the socket.
• In this case, have a qualified electrician install a different socket.
• ATTENTION! People nearby during the use of the equipment should be informed about potential hazards. Exercise particular caution in the presence of children.
• ATTENTION! Consult a doctor before starting exercise
  to make sure that you do not have any health contraindications to training on the device. Based on the opinion of a specialist, you can develop your training plan. An incorrectly selected program or excessive exercise can be dangerous to your health and life.
• WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Overtraining during exercise can result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
• ATTENTION! Strictly follow the training instructions contained in this manual.
  • When choosing a place to train, consider ensuring safe distances from possible obstacles. Do not place the equipment near traffic routes (roads, gates, passages, etc.).
  • It is forbidden to use the equipment in close proximity
    from the wall. The safety zone is 2000 mm and at least as wide as the device.
• ATTENTION! Be careful when assembling the device and do not allow children to be nearby. Small parts (nuts, bolts, etc.) are used during assembly, which may be swallowed by them.
• RESIDUAL RISK
  • In a situation where fall protection is not used, or is used but incorrectly, there is a residual risk of a person falling, causing skin abrasions, bruises, fractures or, in the worst case, death.
  • There is a residual risk of unintentional overload of the person exercising caused by incorrect operation or incorrect assessment, as well as incorrect data transmission (due to electromagnetic interference, software errors, etc.).
    Even the best software and hardware protection does not exclude software or hardware errors and may theoretically cause overload of the person exercising.
  • The product is an electrical device, therefore electric shock, which can lead to death, cannot be ruled out.
  • The residual risk of suffocation cannot be excluded.
  • The risk can be reduced by following the information about safety contained in the operating instructions.
  • It cannot be ruled out that unintended or unauthorized use will result in other, unconsidered risks, and the risks considered have been incorrectly assessed.
• In the risk analysis, the assessment was based on the “current state of the device”. The product assessment and inspection show,
  that the probability of unacceptable risk is very low. The device (its construction, method of operation and application) does not pose – under normal conditions – an unjustified risk to the person exercising or third parties.
• HANDLING MARKS ON TRANSPORT PACKAGING

OPERATION

Before starting training, make sure the device is properly assembled.

• Before starting your first workout, familiarize yourself with all the functions and adjustment options of the device.
• The device has elements that may be exposed to corrosion. For this reason, it is not recommended that it remain in a humid room. You should also ensure that the equipment (especially its internal and electronic components) is not exposed to contact with water, drinks, sweat, etc.
• The device is intended only for training by adults and is absolutely not a toy for children. If you allow children to use it at your own risk, be sure to instruct them on proper use and supervise them constantly.
• The equipment is not suitable for therapeutic purposes.
• During the operation of the device, there may be quiet noises during the inertial movement of the flywheel mass, which result from the type of construction. They have no effect on the operation of the equipment.
• The noise emission under load is greater than without load.
• Before starting each workout, check the correctness of the safeguards and screw and plug connections.
• When training on the device, remember to wear appropriate footwear (sports shoes).

MAINTENANCE

• In order to ensure maximum safety of use of the treadmill, it is recommended to regularly check it for wear of components. This applies to checking the tightness and condition of nuts, screws, moving parts, sleeves, etc.
  Store the device in a dry and warm place. Do not expose the device to sunlight. WARNING! Always turn off the treadmill and disconnect it from the power supply before starting maintenance.

CLEANING

• Regular cleaning of the device will extend its life and maintain its high performance.
  Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the treadmill. This does not apply to electrical components, the motor, internal parts – do not allow water to get into these places. Protect the surface of the running belt (and the space under it) from water.

MOTOR CLEANING

• At least once a year, remove dust from the motor. To do this, first turn off the treadmill from the power supply and after waiting about 1 hour, remove the motor cover. Using compressed air or a brush, carefully remove any accumulated dust. After reassembling the motor cover and connecting it to the power supply, you can start the treadmill.

TREADMILL LUBRICATION

• The frequency of treadmill lubrication depends on the intensity of its use. If the device is used for more than 5 hours per week, it is recommended to lubricate it every 2-3 months. If the treadmill is used less intensively, it should be lubricated once every 7-8 months.

1. Before lubricating the running belt, turn off the treadmill and disconnect it from the power supply. 2. Apply grease under the running belt on both sides, about 5 ml each. Use the most in places where the feet come into contact with the belt during running. 3. Start the treadmill at a low speed (e.g. 3 km/h) and wait for the grease to spread evenly over the entire length of the belt.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The running belt may require tensioning due to constant use of the treadmill. The belt needs to be tightened when it starts to slip, move sideways or tuck during training.
A belt that is too loosely tensioned may stop during engine operation.

Place the treadmill on a flat surface. Start the treadmill at a speed of about 6-8 km/h, observe the degree of deflection of the treadmill belt.

• Do not tension the belt too much, as this may cause malfunctions, e.g. of the motor, shaft or bearings.
• A properly tensioned belt can be lifted at its edges to a height of about 5-7.5 cm. This is very easy to check – it is properly tensioned when 3 fingers fit under it.
• INCREASING BELT TENSION
  You will find a special wrench in the parts set. Place it in the left belt adjustment screw located at the rear of the treadmill. Turn the wrench 90 degrees clockwise (figure C).
  This will tension the rear roller and increase belt tension. Repeat the process by turning the screw on the right side. Pay attention to turn the screws evenly. Repeat the steps for both screws until the belt is properly tensioned.
• REDUCING BELT TENSION
  To reduce belt tension, proceed as when increasing it. Turn the wrench counterclockwise.
• CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
  • Due to different running styles (most often greater load transferred to one leg), the belt may move sideways and not be centered. For this reason, the belt may require adjustment from time to time.
  • The belt should center itself during treadmill operation. It requires adjustment if it moves to the right or left.
  • Start the treadmill and set it to a low speed (e.g. 3 km/h). Check in which direction the belt is moving.
• If the belt moves to the right, place the wrench in the right adjustment screw. Turn the wrench 90 degrees clockwise (figure A). Observe whether the belt will be centered. If it still moves to the right, turn the screw again by 90 degrees.
• If the belt moves to the left, proceed as in the case above, but turn the screw located on the left side (figure B).

ENVIRONMENT
The device is delivered in packaging to protect it from possible damage during transport. Packaging is made of unprocessed raw materials and can be recycled. Dispose of these materials in the appropriate colored containers intended for selective collection.

• Protect the environment and do not throw used batteries into the household waste bin. Return them to the place of purchase or hand them over to a separate secondary raw materials storage point.
• Used electrical equipment (including the meter, power supply) are secondary raw materials – do not throw them into household waste containers, as they may contain substances that are dangerous to health and the environment.
