The Gold's Gym Trainer 520 is a treadmill designed for home use, offering a range of features to enhance workouts and promote cardiovascular fitness. It allows users to engage in walking or running exercises with adjustable speed and incline settings. The console provides continuous exercise feedback and includes preset workouts for varied training.
The primary function of the Gold's Gym Trainer 520 treadmill is to provide a platform for cardiovascular exercise through walking or running. It features a motorized walking belt that moves at adjustable speeds, and an incline system that allows users to simulate uphill walking or running. The console acts as the central control unit, enabling users to start/stop workouts, adjust speed and incline, and monitor their progress. The built-in handgrip heart rate monitor helps users track their heart rate during exercise, aiding in maintaining target training zones. The treadmill also includes a sound system, allowing users to connect an MP3 player or other audio device to listen to music or audio books during their workout.
Getting Started: Before using the treadmill, it's crucial to ensure proper assembly and connection to a power source. The treadmill requires a surge suppressor (not included) to protect against voltage changes. Users must plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and then the suppressor into a properly grounded outlet. The power switch, located on the treadmill frame near the power cord, must be in the reset position.
Safety Key: A key with an attached clip is a critical safety feature. The clip should be attached to the user's waistband, and the key inserted into the console. In an emergency, pulling the key from the console will cause the walking belt to slow to a stop. Users are advised to test this emergency stop procedure before each workout.
Manual Mode: Upon inserting the key, the treadmill defaults to manual mode. In this mode, users can manually control the speed and incline.
Preset Workouts: The treadmill offers preset workouts, including "Weight Loss Workouts" and "Performance Workouts."
Information Mode: The information mode provides usage statistics and allows for unit of measurement selection.
Sound System: The console includes a sound system. Users can connect a 3.5 mm male-to-male audio cable (not included) from their MP3 player, CD player, or other personal audio player to the console's jack. Volume is controlled via the personal audio player.
Folding and Moving: The treadmill can be folded for storage.
Regular maintenance is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of the Gold's Gym Trainer 520 treadmill.

Walking Belt Adjustment:
Lubrication: The walking belt is coated with a high-performance lubricant. Users should never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or platform unless instructed by an authorized service representative, as this can cause deterioration and excessive wear. If more lubricant is suspected to be needed, contact customer care.
Incline System Calibration: If the incline does not change correctly, it may need recalibration. Hold down the "Stop" and "Speed increase" buttons, insert the key, then release the buttons. Press "Stop" again, then press "Incline increase" or "decrease." The treadmill should automatically rise to maximum incline and then return to minimum, calibrating the system. If it doesn't start, repeat the "Stop" and "Incline" button presses. Remove the key once calibrated.
Power Switch Reset: If the power turns off during use or does not turn on, check the power switch on the treadmill frame. If it protrudes, it has tripped. Wait five minutes, then press the switch back in to reset.
Storage: When storing the treadmill, ensure it is folded and the storage latch is fully engaged. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from moisture, dust, direct sunlight, and temperatures above 85° F (30° C).
