Operating Instructions
Getting Started
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Flip the main power switch (usually located near the front of the treadmill base) to the 'ON' position.
- Attach Safety Key: Clip the safety key to your clothing. Insert the other end into the designated slot on the console. The treadmill will not operate without the safety key in place.
- Stand on Side Rails: Step onto the side rails of the treadmill, not directly onto the running belt.
- Start Workout: Press the 'START' button on the console. The belt will begin to move at a low speed.
- Adjust Speed/Incline: Use the speed '+' and '-' buttons to adjust your desired walking or running speed. The FT100 Series features manual inclination, which must be adjusted before starting your workout by physically raising or lowering the rear of the treadmill (refer to assembly for specific mechanism).
- Monitor Progress: The LCD display will show time, distance, speed, calories burned, and pulse (if hand pulse sensors are used).
- Stop Workout: To stop, press the 'STOP' button. For emergency stops, pull the safety key from the console.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your treadmill.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the treadmill after each use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Belt Lubrication: The running belt requires lubrication every 3-6 months, or after every 100-150 hours of use, using 100% silicone lubricant. Lift the belt and apply lubricant to the center of the deck. Run the treadmill at a slow speed for 5 minutes to distribute.
- Belt Tension and Alignment: Check the running belt tension and alignment periodically. If the belt slips or drifts to one side, refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual (if available) or contact customer support for adjustment procedures.
- Motor Cover Cleaning: Periodically vacuum dust from under the motor cover (ensure treadmill is unplugged).
Troubleshooting
