Features Hydraulic Setting Cylinders Your TreadClimber® machine uses Hydraulic Cylinders to absorb your steps and cushion your joints, decreasing your overall fatigue and reducing muscle strain. The displacement of the Treadles is adjusted by the dials on the Hydraulic Cylinders. The MIN setting is the minimum amount of Treadle movement, the MAX is the maximum movement. The closer the dial is set to the MAX setting, the more the Treadle will travel. This results in a more intense workout.
Features Begin with each cylinder set to the central, white dot on the dial. If this setting allows too much Treadle travel, adjust the dial toward the MIN (clockwise) setting until you are comfortable with the amount of travel. If you find that the Treadles do not move enough to fully cushion your steps, adjust the dial setting toward the MAX (counter-clockwise) setting, allowing more Treadle movement.

Maintenance Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required to do the necessary tasks. ! Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular maintenance is done. Worn or damaged components must be repaired or replaced immediately. Only manufacturer supplied components can be used to maintain and repair the equipment.
Maintenance Walking Belt and Deck Lubrication The TreadClimber® machine is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the machine. Your TreadClimber® fitness machine came with a starter supply of lubrication for the belts.
Maintenance 5. Switch on your machine and start the belts at the slowest speed. Let the belts operate for approximately 15 seconds. 6. Switch off your machine. 7. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the Treadles. We also recommend a periodic inspection of the Treadle surfaces below the belts. If the decks appear worn, contact a TreadClimber® Representative (refer to the Contacts section of this manual).
Maintenance Walking Belt Alignment The walking belts need to be adjusted if they are out of center enough to cause a rubbing or scraping sound. Adjustments can be made at the Front Roller of each Treadle. Adjusting the Walking Belts – While operating the machine, notice where the belts run on each Treadle. The Walking Belt Adjustment Bolts are on the front end of each Roller.
Maintenance Walking Belt Electrostatic Reduction Your TreadClimber® machine may develop a static charge caused by the movement of the walking belts. Follow this procedure to apply an anti-static spray to them to reduce the static electric charges. ! Wait a minimum of 60 minutes after the last workout before you apply the anti-static spray, to let hot electrical components cool to room temperature. 1. Unplug the machine from the wall.
Maintenance 6. Wait until the belts dry fully (approximately 2-4 hours). 7. Using a 5 mm hex wrench, tighten the tension adjustment bolts for the walking belts. Turn the bolts clockwise to increase the tension. 8. Plug in the machine and turn on the power. 9. Inspect the walking belt alignment and tension before using the machine. Refer to the walking belt alignment and belt tension adjustment procedures. Note: Repeat the procedure to apply anti-static spray if static electric discharge occurs again.
