Treadmill User Manual
4 5
• Place the treadmill on a rm, level surface. Allow
200x100 cm of clearance behind the treadmill and 100
cm on either side and in front of the treadmill. Make sure
that children and pets stay away from this area while the
treadmill is in use.
• We recommend that the equipment is placed on a
protective base.
AbOUT USING THE EQUIPMENT
• Always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet
after each training session.
• Only one person may use the equipment at a time.
• Keep hands clear of any moving parts. Never place
hands, feet or any other objects under the treadmill
• Never leave the treadmill unattended when plugged in.
• Wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising.
Make sure your shoelaces are properly tied. To avoid injury
and unnecessary wear on your treadmill, be sure your
shoes are free of any debris such as gravel and small
pebbles.
bEGINNING AN EXERCISE SESSION
• To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end each
workout by stretching.
• Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of the
running belt. Do not stand on the running belt.
• Begin each workout at a low speed, and gradually
increase your speed and/or treadmill elevation to a
comfortable level according to your condition.
• Always hold the handrail for support when getting on or
off the treadmill and when changing the speed during
exercise. Do not jump off the running belt while it is
moving!
• To avoid numbness and pain in the neck, shoulder and
back area, maintain an upright posture. Try to run in the
middle of the track, within comfortable reach of the
console.
• If you encounter any operational faults during exercise,
grip the handlebar for support and stand on the landing
rails to the left and right of the running belt. Turn the power
switch off and see the instructions under Malfunctions.
• If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal
symptoms while exercising, stop your workout at once
and consult a physician.
FINISHING AN EXERCISE SESSION
• Finish each workout by gradually reducing the speed.
Don’t forget to stretch at the end of the workout.
• Never leave the safety key in the treadmill.
• Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.
• Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and from
the treadmill.
• If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all
pathways and out of childrens’ reach.
HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure
is your own heart rate. The most reliable heart rate
measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in
which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the
chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console
by means of an electromagnetic eld.
NOTE! If you are tted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate
monitor. If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on
the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the
transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, rmly
enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the
skin while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing
is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a
light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the
electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically
transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a
distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate
reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes
are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the
electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart
rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart
rate measurement devices next to each other, the
distance between them should be at least 2 m.
Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several
transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter
should be within transmission range. The transmitter is
switched to an active state only when it is being used for
measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however,
keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery
energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes
carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please note that some
bers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate
measurement.
Please note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic eld
around them, which will cause problems in heart rate
measurement.
First nd your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate
doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know
your maximum heart rate, please use the following
formula as a guide:
220 –AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies from
person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes
on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart
rate for you.
We have dened three different heart-rate zones to help
you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate Also suitable
for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who
haven’t exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week
of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular
exercise considerably improves beginners’ respiratory and
circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your
improvement.
TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate Perfect for
improving and maintaining tness. Even reasonable
effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training
for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week.
