Product Description 5 Product Description 5.1 Function The CURVE is a motorless training device. The user controls the desired workout speed with their running speed on the upwardly curved running surface. 1 Fig. 3 1. 2. 2 CURVE Operation Basic principle of the rotary drive through moving mass Operation of the CURVE drive with a running person The treadmill is accelerated, slowed or stopped through the shifting of weight and the resulting running speed.
Product Description 5.2 Running Surface The walking surface belt consists of individual slats which are mounted on a set of wedged-tooth belts. Slat Design The individual slats consist of two components: A rubber surface and a T-shaped aluminum base. Due to the approximately 1 cm thick rubber surface and the aluminum T-slat, WOODWAY has the "world's most ideal running surface for treadmills".
Commissioning 6 Commissioning 6.1 General Commissioning is the initial intended use of the device, see sec. 0 Page 10. Ensure that the conditions applicable to basic safety and health requirements are met. Read these operating instructions completely before commissioning. Before commissioning the device, operating and functional safety is to be tested. This includes correct installation and operator instruction. 6.
Commissioning 6.3.1 Positioning the Device Fig. 4 • • • Installation step, positioning the device Position the unit on a sufficiently solid and horizontal surface. For information see section 6.2 page 17. There are wheels under the front end of the treadmill. The treadmill can be moved on the wheels by lifting it using the handle on the back of the device. The transport rollers are only functional after the device has been lifted and tilted to a certain height.
Commissioning 6.3.2 Mounting the Side Panels The CURVE side panels are different from the CURVE XL side panels. The CURVE XL panels consist of two separate panels on each side. The panels are separated in the middle (see Fig. 8 page 21), further assembly is identical to the CURVE. Fig. 5 • • • • • 08/2013-v1.0de Installation step, mounting side panels Place the left and right side panels on the device. The curved design and the cutouts for the railing indicate the proper position.
Commissioning Fig. 6 • • Fix both side panels (on the CURVE XL four pieces) to the frame. Fix the panels to the bottom of the device at the four points in the front and rear with the supplied Phillips screws and screwdrivers. Press slightly on the panel from the outside until the holes in the frame and side panels are aligned and the screw can engage the thread. Fig.
Commissioning Fig. 8 • 6.3.3 Installation step, fixing top/middle of side panels (CURVE XL) The screws should tighten easily and without much resistance. If this is not the case, press slightly on the panel from the outside until the holes in the frame and side panels are aligned and the screw can engage the thread. Mounting the Railing ATTENTION The CURVE treadmill may not be used without the railing! There is a danger of injury! Fig.
Commissioning Fig. 10 • • Attention! Do not insert the railing completely into the seat. Before inserting the railing into the seat, check that the data wire is protruding out of the base of the device and that the connecting wire is protruding from the opening at the bottom of the railing. Fig.
Commissioning • When you have checked the position of the wires, insert the railing into the seat until it stops. If the railing does not slide in easily, adjust the insertion angle by slightly moving the railing to the left and right or front and back. Fig. 12 • Connect the ends of the display and data cable and stow any excess cable in the opening in the railing. Fig. 13 • 08/2013-v1.0de Installation step, connect wires Installation step, fixing the railing Fix the railing to the frame.

Operation 7 Operation 7.1 For Your Safety NOTE CONSULT A DOCTOR! If you are over 40 years old, have a heart condition, are overweight or have not been involved in sports for several years, a visit to the doctor is recommended before beginning an intensive training program.
Operation 7.2 Safety Equipment 7.2.1 Reverse Brake The CURVE non-motorized running face is designed so that the user drives the running surface and controls its speed. This is only possible due to the innovative curved design combined with gravity. Only Forwards Movement! For the safety of the user the running surface only rotates in one direction, which only allows use of the device for running forward (not for running in reverse).
Operation 7.2.2 Safety Railing The CURVE is equipped with a railing that extends along both sides and is bowed around the front. This allows the user to maintain direct contact, so as to obtain safety and stability along the entire curvature of the running surface. For safety reasons the user should hold on to the railing when necessary (e.g. for stopping). ATTENTION Always use the railing for mounting and dismounting! 7.3 Practical Training 7.3.
Operation 7.3.4 Calculating Maximum Heart Rate To determine your maximum heart rate subtract your age from the number 220 (general formula). The difference is an approximation of your maximum heart rate. This formula is used by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Your actual maximum heart rate is determined by a stress test performed by your doctor.
Operation 7.3.6 Training Frequency At the beginning of training allow yourself enough time to get into shape. After a break from training, you should also allow sufficient time to rebuild physical condition. Endurance training! Running Shoes! 7.4 The priority is regularity and persistence of training - not the intensity. Fitness experts recommend in the beginning training three to four times per week within your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes per workout.
Operation 7.4.2 Transmitter Function The signal will only be transmitted if the transmitter is within one meter of the receiver. Note that variations in the heart rate display can occur when the transmitter is too close to other Polar® devices. Maintain at least one meter distance from other Polar® devices.
Operation 7.5.1 Display Parameters • • • 7.5.2 Manual user speed control (SPEED) Display for TIME, CALORIES, DISTANCE and PULSE Running surface speed indicator (SPEED) Display Description The indicators in the display indicate the following data: SPEED: TIME: Displays the current speed in km/h. Displays the cumulative training time. • • DISTANCE: Displays the distance run. • CALORIES: AUTO-ON/OFF AUTO-START/STOP: 7.5.
Operation 7.6 Training Process Training Start ATTENTION Always use the railing for mounting and dismounting! The CURVE treadmill may only be mounted in the rear from the side! Never mount from the front! When the treadmill is mounted from the front the running surface starts to move immediately. Danger of accident! Start running slowly and hold on to the railing. The display will be activated by the movement.

Maintenance and Cleaning 9.3 Synchronization Belt The synchronization belt on the right side (in running direction) connects the front and rear axles. It ensures equal circumferential axle speed and the exact movement of the running surface belt. The condition of the toothed belt should be checked (wear, condition of teeth) during inspection measures, when side panel are removed or by excessive noise. The belt tension should also be checked. A tensioning roller is located above the belt, see Fig. 22.
Maintenance and Cleaning 9.4.1 Weekly Maintenance • • • 9.4.2 Annual Maintenance • • • • • 9.5 Clean the rails, the front display panel and the cover panels.
