4.2 Unfolding the Treadmill

4.3 Power Connection
Connect the power cord to the treadmill's power input port and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before plugging in.
4.4 Remote Control Pairing
The remote control is typically pre-paired. If it does not respond, ensure the treadmill is powered on. Press and hold the mode button on the remote control for 3-5 seconds until the treadmill's display indicates successful pairing.
4.5 Initial Belt Alignment Check
Before first use, visually inspect the walking belt to ensure it is centered. If the belt appears off-center, refer to the 'Maintenance' section for belt adjustment instructions.
5. Operating Instructions

5.2 Speed Control
The WalkingPad A1 Pro offers multiple ways to control speed:
- Intelligent Foot Control (A Mode): In 'A' mode, the treadmill automatically adjusts speed based on your position on the belt. Walking towards the front accelerates, staying in the middle maintains constant speed, and moving towards the rear decelerates.
- Remote Control (M Mode): Use the included remote control to manually adjust speed. Press '+' to increase speed and '-' to decrease speed. The remote also has a start/stop button.

- Time

The high-brightness LED panel ensures clear visibility of data even in bright sunlight or dim lighting conditions.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe down the treadmill with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the treadmill is unplugged before cleaning.
6.2 Lubrication
Regular lubrication of the walking belt is crucial for smooth operation and longevity. Apply silicone oil (not included) under the belt every 3-6 months, or after approximately 100 hours of use. Refer to the detailed lubrication instructions in the full user manual for proper application.
6.3 Belt Adjustment and Alignment
If the walking belt shifts to one side or feels uneven, it may require adjustment. Use the provided wrench to turn the rear roller bolts. Turn clockwise to move the belt to the right, and counter-clockwise to move it to the left. Adjust in small increments (quarter turns) and test after each adjustment until the belt is centered and runs smoothly.
6.4 Storage
The WalkingPad A1 Pro's foldable design allows for compact storage. After folding, the treadmill measures approximately 32.5 x 21.5 x 5 inches, making it easy to store under furniture or in small spaces. Utilize the integrated pulleys for easier movement.
