TREADMILL SET UP AND USE
Setting up your treadmill in the correct way can stop issues from developing later. Keeping your treadmill, fitness equipment in good working condition is accomplished by following a few simple steps.
Follow The Steps:
- Read the fitness equipment instruction manual before assembly and use and make other users aware of the treadmill’s operation procedure
- When assembling be careful not to trap or cut wires, never force fitness equipment parts to fit and put away the hammer. If a part will not fit check for an obstruction and re -try. If bolts are hard to turn then you may have cross threaded the bolt, unscrew and try again. Always put the bolts in by hand to start a thread and once all bolts are in, then tighten.
- Make sure the treadmill is positioned on a flat level floor, this is critical for the fitness equipment to have a smooth operation. Inside floors are generally flat but be aware that most garage and patio floors slope and so you may have to adjust the feet otherwise the belt will always move to the fall side no matter how much you try to adjust the belt.
- Do not place the treadmills in a dusty workshop or workroom where other activities may cause an issue for the treadmill.
- IMPORTANT Never use extension cords, power boards, (they are not designed to power these types of fitness equipment). Always plug your treadmills directly into an unshared power point. This is one of the primary causes of treadmills failure.
- As with all fitness equipment allow sufficient room especially at the rear of the treadmills when placing it in your room in case you fall off the back, never back a treadmill up to a window/glass cabinet/mirror or anything that may injure you should you fall off.
- Attach the safety key to yourself, in case of a fall it will shut the treadmill down to prevent injury.
- KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE TREADMILL AT ALL TIMES.
- Keep your treadmills clean and free from dust, pet hair. This can get sucked into the motor and cause long term damage.
- When starting treadmills ALWAYS starts with your feet on the side rails, press start and once the treadmills belt has started moving then step onto the deck. NEVER try to start a treadmill while you are standing on the belt.
- It is best to clean your treadmill with a slightly damp microfiber cloth making sure the power cord is disconnected from the mains plug. Simply wipe down after use, do not use cleaning products or solvents and use a microfiber cloth when cleaning the console screen to avoid scratching the readout windows. Get the sweat off the treadmill as the salt content can be very corrosive.
- IMPORTANT You should make sure the treadmill’s deck (under the belt) is regularly lubricated with a silicone spray/oil/wax as per manufacturers’ specifications. If unsure which to use ask your treadmill seller. Always make sure the power is off before spraying silicone spray.
- Attach the safety key at all times to yourself. In case of a fall, it will shut the machine down to prevent any injury.
- Treadmills are an electrical item, don’t place them in an area where they can come in contact with rain, moisture or fluids.
