3. Setup Instructions
The THERUN Treadmill Model ZDP is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these steps to set up your treadmill.
Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport or storage.
- Place the treadmill on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 2 feet of clear space on the sides and rear of the treadmill for safe operation and access.
- Inspect the treadmill for any signs of damage during shipping. Contact customer support if any damage is found.
Assembly
While the treadmill is largely pre-assembled, some minor assembly is required. Refer to the included user manual for detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions specific to your model. Typically, this involves attaching the console and handrails.
Power Connection

4. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the treadmill's controls and functions before beginning your workout.
Getting Started
- Attach Safety Clip: Always attach the safety clip to your clothing. The treadmill will not operate without the safety clip in place.
- Stand on Side Rails: Step onto the side rails of the treadmill, not directly onto the running belt.
- Power On: Ensure the treadmill is plugged in and the main power switch is ON.
Using the Console and Remote Control
The treadmill is controlled via the console and the included remote control. The remote control is essential for operation as the treadmill itself may not have physical buttons for starting or stopping.
- Start/Stop: Press the 'Start' button on the console or remote to begin. Press 'Stop' to pause or end your workout.
- Speed Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the console or remote to increase or decrease speed (0.5-9.0 MPH). Quick speed buttons (e.g., 3, 5, 8 MPH) may also be available.
- Incline Adjustment: Use the 'Incline Up' and 'Incline Down' buttons to adjust the incline level (0%-12%). Quick incline buttons (e.g., 5%, 8%, 12%) may also be available.
- Workout Programs: The 'Prog' or 'Mode' button allows you to select pre-set workout programs. Refer to the detailed manual for program descriptions.
- Display: The LED display shows your workout data, including time, distance, calories burned, current speed, and incline level.
- Pulse Sensors: Grip the pulse sensors on the handrails to monitor your heart rate. Ensure both hands are firmly on the sensors for an accurate reading.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your treadmill.
Cleaning
- After Each Use: Wipe down the console and handrails with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Weekly: Vacuum underneath the treadmill to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in the motor area.
Lubrication
The running belt requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and extend its lifespan. Use only silicone-based treadmill lubricant.
- Turn off and unplug the treadmill.
- Gently lift one side of the running belt.
- Apply a thin line of lubricant along the center of the deck, underneath the belt.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Plug in the treadmill and run it at a low speed (e.g., 2 MPH) for 5 minutes to distribute the lubricant evenly.
- Frequency: Lubricate every 3 months or after 50 hours of use, whichever comes first.
Belt Adjustment
If the running belt is off-center or slipping, it may need adjustment.
- Centering the Belt: If the belt drifts to one side, use the included wrench to turn the adjustment bolt on the rear roller. Turn clockwise to move the belt to the right, counter-clockwise to move it to the left. Make small adjustments (quarter turns) and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check.
- Belt Tension: If the belt is slipping, it may be too loose. Turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clockwise in equal increments (quarter turns) to increase tension. Do not overtighten.
