Unpack and Operation

Unpack

Remove small parts and loose packing material. With the help of a second person, carefully lift the walking pad out of the box, supporting it from underneath the base frame (21) to avoid pinching.

Checks and How to Start

1. Connect the power cable (50) to a properly installed power outlet (220-240V~50-60Hz) and the unit's socket (37). Turn on the main switch.

2. The computer display will show normal manual mode. Remove the protective film from the display. Insert the battery into the remote control (49), observing polarity. Press the [▶] button. After a 3-second countdown, the running surface (34) will start moving.

3. Step onto the running surface (34) when the speed is slow and follow the set speed. Familiarize yourself with the machine at low speeds. Walk in the middle of the running surface, avoiding the side rails (26+36). Keep your gaze towards the computer (1). In an emergency, step off the side.

Transport and Storage

1. Turn off the walking pad and disconnect the power cord.

2. Lift the walking pad by the rear end until it rests on the front transport rollers (39) for easy movement.

3. Store in a dry indoor location. The unit can be stored lying down or upright, leaning against a wall on its stand-up feet (19). Cover to protect from discoloration and dust.

Maintenance and Adjusting

Lubrication

To ensure smooth operation, apply silicone oil/spray to the underside of the running belt and the running board after approximately 50 hours of use. Lift the belt slightly and apply the lubricant into the gap. Caution: Excessive lubricant may cause the belt to slip.

Diagram illustrates applying silicone oil between the running belt and running board.

Adjusting Running Belt

If the running belt is off-center, adjust it using the Allen key on the end caps. Turn the right tension bolt clockwise to move the belt left, or the left tension bolt clockwise to move the belt right. If adjustment is still needed after these steps, the belt may be damaged and require replacement. Ensure the belt is centered; readjust if it drifts more than 10mm from the center.

Diagrams show adjusting the belt tension using an Allen key on the end caps, with arrows indicating direction of turn for left/right belt movement.

Running Belt Slips

Check if the belt is properly tensioned (tighten end cap screws), if the motor belt is too loose, or if there is excess lubricant.

No Light on Display

Check the power outlet, main switch, and computer connection. Always unplug the unit before checking computer connections.

Overload Protection

The unit has a microfuse (6.3A/250V) located in compartment (A) near the main switch (37).

Abnormal Noise

Check for loose screws, the motor belt, or the running belt.

Use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents. The unit is for private, indoor use only. Keep clean and dry.

General Training Instructions

Consider these factors for effective training:

Intensity

Training exertion should exceed normal levels but not lead to breathlessness or exhaustion. Pulse is a good indicator. Adjust training duration, difficulty, or type as your condition improves.

Training Heart Rate

To determine your training heart rate, use formulas like the Sally Edwards formula: Men: Max HR = 214 - (0.5 x age) - (0.11 x weight); Women: Max HR = 210 - (0.5 x age) - (0.11 x weight). Optimal training heart rate depends on goals, falling into different zones (Health, Fat-Metabolism, Aerobic, Anaerobic, Competition).

Frequency

Experts recommend 3-5 training sessions per week, combined with a healthy diet. Aim for at least three sessions weekly to improve condition or change body weight.

Training Plan

Each session should include a warm-up (5-10 min), training phase, and cool-down (5-10 min stretching). Gradually increase body temperature and oxygen supply during warm-up. Adapt training load to heart rate. Cool-down helps circulation and prevents muscle soreness.

Motivation

Consistent training, a fixed schedule, and a positive mindset are key. Set goals and track progress.
