The Aussie Pro Runner is a curved treadmill designed for fitness training, offering a self-powered workout experience. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its assembly, safe operation, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The Aussie Pro Runner is a non-motorized curved treadmill that allows users to control their speed by shifting their body weight. It is designed to provide an effective workout for building stamina, improving aerobic and anaerobic systems, and burning calories. The curved design encourages a more natural running gait and engages more muscles compared to traditional flat treadmills. The device includes a display screen to monitor various workout metrics.
Important Technical Specifications:
The manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as dimensions, weight capacity, or specific materials. However, it implies certain characteristics:
- Operating Environment: The treadmill should be kept in an environment ranging between 5 - 40 degrees Celsius to maintain its quality, integrity, and longevity.
- Resistance System: The treadmill features a magnetic resistance brake cable, which can be adjusted via a dial on the right arm. This suggests a variable resistance system to modify workout intensity.
- Display Screen: The device includes a second-generation LED display screen that shows metrics such as time, distance, pace, speed, calories, and watts. It also supports various training modes.
- Power Source for Display: The exercise computer requires batteries, and two wires need to be attached for its operation.
Usage Features:
The Aussie Pro Runner offers several usage features and training modes through its LED display:
- Quick Start: Users can begin a workout simply by taking their first stride. In this mode, the display will show distance, time, pace, speed, and calories.
- Interval 20-10: This is a training circuit designed to increase endurance and performance of aerobic and anaerobic systems. Users select this mode, hit enter, input their age, and begin.
- Interval 10-20: This is a reverse training circuit of the 20-10, allowing for more rest than work.
- Custom Interval: Users can design their own High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout by inputting the number of sets, work duration, and rest duration.
- Target Time: This mode allows users to set a specific workout duration to build stamina and long-distance running ability. The screen can be cleared by holding "STOP" for 2 seconds, then users can set the target time using the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons.
- Target Distance: Ideal for training for events like 5K or marathons, this mode allows users to set a specific distance goal. Similar to target time, the screen is cleared by holding "STOP" for 2 seconds, then the distance is set using "UP" and "DOWN."
- Target Calories: Users can set a target number of calories to burn during their workout. The manual notes that this feature provides only an estimate as it does not consider weight or resistance level.
- Target Heart Rate: This feature is currently under development. For heart rate monitoring, it is recommended to use an iPhone/iPad mounting system and sync with external heart rate monitors like an Apple Watch or Polar device to create a heads-up display.
- Safety Handrails: The treadmill is equipped with handrails for user safety and stability, especially when making control changes or dismounting.
- Portability: While not explicitly stated, the presence of wheels on the base in the assembly image suggests some degree of portability.
Maintenance Features:
The manual outlines both weekly and annual maintenance procedures to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the treadmill.
- Weekly Maintenance:
- Clean handrails, the LED screen, treads, and cover panels.
- Inspect the overall condition of the treadmill.
- Wipe off dust or light dirt with a damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry with a dry cloth.
- Vacuum under the treadmill.
- Annual Maintenance:
- Inspect for any bearing damage beneath the treads and for loose bolts.
- Inspect the belt for breakage or loose bolts.
- Inspect the handles and ensure bolts are properly tightened.
- Inspect the front and rear roller bearings and apply grease if they are not rotating smoothly. The factory lubricates all bearings, but only the axle bearings (2 in the front, 2 in the back) require annual or as-needed lubrication. Side panels must be removed for this.
- Note: Excessive grease can lead to a buildup and collection of dust.
Important Safety Instructions:
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions:
- Read the entire manual before use.
- Regular maintenance is crucial to prolong the treadmill's life and avoid voiding the warranty.
- Assemble the treadmill on a flat, level surface.
- Do not operate on padded, plush, or shag carpet to prevent damage to both the treadmill and carpet.
- Maintain a minimum of 1 meter clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any fixed object.
- Place the treadmill on a solid, level surface only.
- Children should only be on or near the treadmill under strict adult supervision.
- Keep hands away from moving parts when running.
- Use provided safety handrails.
- Wear appropriate athletic footwear; high heels, dress shoes, sandals, flip-flops, and bare feet are unsuitable.
Important Operation Instructions:
- Avoid distractions to prevent loss of balance and serious injury.
- Never dismount the treadmill while the belt is still moving.
- Always hold onto the handrail when making control changes.
- The treadmill is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience/knowledge, or children, unless supervised or guided by a responsible person.
- Consult a doctor before use if you have: cardiomyopathy, hypertension, sugar diabetes, respiratory disease, are a smoker, have any other chronic disease, are over 35 and obese, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
- Stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor if you feel dizzy, have heart pain, or any other illness.
- Drink water when exercising longer than 20 minutes.
