Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip and needs to be tensioned, tension bolts are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 MPH ( 5 KPH).

A. Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the right and left tension bolts 1/4 turn clockwise.

B. Test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat step A and test again.

Diagram Description: Figure 1 shows turning bolts clockwise to tighten the belt. Figure 2 shows turning bolts counter-clockwise to loosen the belt.

Note: Adjusting one side more than the other will cause the belt to drift to the side of the treadmill and will require belt alignment. Check to be sure the running belt is still aligned. If belt alignment is off as shown below, refer to Belt Alignment section.

CAUTION: DO NOT tighten more than 2 full turns on each side. Over tensioning the belt can cause unnecessary friction and wear and tear on the belt, motor and electronics.

Belt Alignment

A. Press Start, then increase the treadmill speed to 3 MPH (5 KPH).

B. Stand behind the treadmill to see which way the belt is drifting.

C. If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise or the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. (See FIG. 1)

D. If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise or the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. (See FIG. 2)

E. Observe the alignment for two minutes. Repeat steps A-D as needed.

Diagram Description: Figure 1 illustrates adjusting the belt to move it to the right. Figure 2 illustrates adjusting the belt to move it to the left.

Exercise Guidelines

Warm-up

It's best to stretch before exercising. Warm muscles are more pliable, so take 5-10 minutes to warm up. Then stop and perform the following stretches — do each five times, holding each leg for 10 seconds or more, and repeat at the end of your workout.

Forward Bend

Slightly bend your knees, lean forward slowly, relax your back and shoulders, and try to touch your toes with your hands as much as you can. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then release. Repeat this 3 times (refer to Figure 1).

Hamstring Stretch

Sit on a clean mat with one leg extended straight. Tuck the other leg in so that its foot is close to the inner thigh of the extended leg. Reach towards your toes with your hands. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Perform this stretch three times for each leg (see Figure 2).

Calf and Achilles Tendon Stretch

Stand facing a wall or tree with one foot behind you. Keep the back leg straight, heel on the ground, and lean into the wall or tree. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Do this three times for each leg (refer to Figure 3).

Quadriceps Stretch

With your left hand for balance against a wall or table, reach your right hand back to grasp your right ankle and gently pull it towards your hip until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then release. Perform this stretch three times for each leg (see Figure 4).

Adductor (Inner Thigh) Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and knees out to the sides. Grasp your feet with both hands and pull them towards your groin area. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times (see Figure 5).

Diagram Descriptions: Figure 1 shows a forward bend stretch. Figure 2 shows a hamstring stretch. Figure 3 shows a calf and Achilles tendon stretch. Figure 4 shows a quadriceps stretch. Figure 5 shows an adductor (inner thigh) stretch.

Preparation

If you are over 35 years old, have health issues, or are new to exercising, please consult a doctor or a professional before using the treadmill.

Familiarize yourself with the treadmill's controls, such as how to start, stop, and adjust the speed, before using it.

Begin by standing on the aluminum side rails on both sides of the treadmill. Start the machine at a low speed 1~2 MPH (1.6~3.2 KPH), stand up straight, look forward, and gently tap the running belt with one foot a few times before stepping on it. After getting accustomed, slowly increase the speed to 1.9 ~ 3.1 MPH (3~5 KPH) and maintain this pace for about 10 minutes, then gradually come to a stop.

Effective Exercise:

Before each session, ensure you know how to adjust the treadmill's settings, like speed.

Start with a steady pace, walking about 0.6 mile (1 KM), which should take around 15-25 minutes. At a speed of 3 MPH (4.8 KPH), this distance would typically take about 12 minutes.

Once comfortable, you can incrementally increase your speed and incline, aiming for a 30-minute session for effective exercise.

Remember, progress in exercise should be gradual. It is about long-term health benefits, not immediate results.

Exercise Volume

• For a quick workout, exercising for 15-20 minutes can be highly effective.
• Start with a 2-minute warm-up at 3 MPH(4.8 KPH).
• Then, increase the speed to 3.3 MPH (5.3KPH) and 3.6 MPH (5.8 KPH), maintaining each speed for 2 minutes.
• Continue to increase the speed by 0.2 MPH (0.3 KPH) every 2 minutes until your breathing quickens but is not labored.
• Sustain this pace for your workout. If you start to feel breathless, reduce the speed by 0.2 MPH (0.3 KPH).
• Conclude with a 4-minute cooldown.

Heat Consumption Method

• Warm up for 5 minutes at a speed 2.5 ~ 3 MPH (4 ~ 4.8 KPH).
• Increase the speed by 0.2 MPH (0.3 KPH) every 2 minutes, aiming to exercise at a challenging but sustainable speed for 45 minutes.
• During an one-hour TV show, increase the speed by 0.2 MPH (0.3 KPH) at every commercial break, then return to the prior speed when the program resumes. This fluctuation helps maximize calories burn.
• Finish with a 4-minute cooldown.

Exercise Frequency

• Aim for 3-5 sessions per week, ranging from 15 to 60 minutes each.
• Establish a consistent workout schedule, avoiding sporadic exercise routines.
• Adjust the intensity by controlling the speed. Start and introduce it gradually to increase the workout's challenge.
• Always consult a professional for personalized advice on exercise frequency and intensity, considering your age and physical condition.
• Stop exercising immediately if you experience chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, or any other discomfort, and consult a professional before resuming.

Speed Selection for Electric Treadmill Users:

• 0.6 ~ 1.8 MPH ( 1.0 ~ 3.0 KPH ) for those with poor physical fitness
• 1.8 ~ 2.5 MPH ( 3.0 ~ 4.0 KPH ) for those not accustomed to regular exercise
• 2.5 ~ 3.1 MPH ( 4.0 ~ 5.0 KPH ) for average walking speed
• 3.1 ~ 3.8 MPH ( 5.0 ~ 6.0 KPH ) for a brisk walking pace
• 3.8 ~ 4.4 MPH ( 6.0 ~ 7.0 KPH ) for a slow jogging speed
• 4.4 ~ 5.0 MPH ( 7.0 ~ 8.0 KPH ) for a moderate jogging speed

Note: Increasing the speed to 4 MPH(6 KPH) are more suitable for walking.
