This document is a user manual for the PowerMax TDM-98 Treadmill, a single-function home-use exercise machine designed for walking and running. The manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and routine maintenance, ensuring safe and effective use of the product.
The PowerMax TDM-98 Treadmill is primarily designed for indoor exercise, allowing users to engage in walking or running activities within the comfort of their home. It features a running belt driven by a motor, controlled via a console that displays various exercise metrics. The treadmill is equipped with a safety key mechanism, which is crucial for emergency stops and overall user safety. When the safety key is disconnected, the treadmill will gradually stop, preventing accidents. The console offers a range of operational modes, including a manual program, 12 automatic programs, and 3 different countdown running modes (time, distance, and calorie countdowns), catering to diverse fitness goals and preferences. The speed of the running belt can be adjusted using a rotary knob on the console, allowing users to increase or decrease their workout intensity. For models with a massager function, this is an optional feature. The treadmill is also designed with a folding mechanism, allowing the running deck to be lifted and locked into an upright position for space-saving storage when not in use.
The treadmill's operation is straightforward, beginning with plugging in the power cord and turning on the main switch. A beep sound and illuminated screen indicate readiness. The safety key is a critical component for operation; the treadmill will only start when the safety key is properly placed on the designated yellow area of the console. Users are advised to clip the safety key to their clothing during exercise to ensure immediate shutdown in case of an emergency.
The console serves as the central control and display unit. It features a "Start" button to initiate the treadmill and a "Stop" button to bring it to a gradual halt and clear all data, returning to manual mode. The "Program" button allows users to cycle through the manual mode and 12 pre-set automatic programs, each designed with 10 segments of evenly distributed running time. The "Mode" button enables selection among time countdown, distance countdown, and calorie countdown running modes, providing structured workout options.
Speed adjustment is facilitated by a "Speed ±" rotary knob, which can be rotated clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Quick speed adjustments to 3.0 km/h, 6.0 km/h, and 9.0 km/h are also available by pressing the knob. For models with audio connectivity, a "Volume ±" rotary knob allows users to control the volume when a mobile phone is connected.
The console displays key exercise data, including current running speed, elapsed time (or countdown time), cumulative distance (or distance countdown), cumulative calories burned (or calorie countdown), and heart rate (when a signal is detected). These displays help users monitor their progress and adjust their workouts accordingly.
The treadmill is designed for single-person use at a time, and users are cautioned against jumping on or off the machine during operation. It is recommended to wear suitable clothing and sneakers and avoid exercising barefoot. Important safety precautions include ensuring the power plug is grounded, using a dedicated electrical circuit, keeping children away from the machine, and avoiding prolonged or overloaded operation to prevent damage to internal components. If users feel unwell during exercise, they should stop and consult a doctor.
Routine maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the PowerMax TDM-98 Treadmill. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the power plug must be disconnected for safety.
Cleaning: Comprehensive cleaning extends the product's life. Dust should be removed periodically to keep all parts clean. The running belt, particularly the exposed portions, should be cleaned with a damp cloth and soap to reduce impurity accumulation. Care must be taken to avoid excessive moisture on electrical components and the running belt itself. Users are advised to wear clean athletic shoes to prevent dirt from being carried onto the running board and belt. The motor cover should be removed, and the motor cleaned at least once a year, always with the power plug disconnected.
Running Belt Alignment and Tightness: For optimal performance, the running belt needs to be properly aligned and tightened. This adjustment is performed with the treadmill running at a speed of 6-8 km/h. If the running belt drifts to the right, the right adjusting bolt should be rotated 1/2 turn clockwise, and the left adjusting bolt 1/2 turn counter-clockwise. Conversely, if the belt drifts to the left, the left adjusting bolt is rotated 1/2 turn clockwise, and the right adjusting bolt 1/2 turn counter-clockwise.
Multi-wedge Belt Tension Adjusting: Over time, the multi-wedge belt may loosen due to abrasion, requiring adjustment. A loose belt can cause an occasional pause phenomenon during running. To check for looseness, users are instructed to remove the protective cover, run the treadmill at 1 km/h, and lightly tread on the running belt while gripping the armrests. If the instantaneous step stops the running belt but the multi-wedge belt and front roller continue to run, the running belt is loose. If the instantaneous step stops both the running belt and multi-wedge belt but the motor continues to run, the multi-wedge belt is loose. Adjustments involve using a wrench on the motor base screws. The multi-wedge belt should be adjustable by 80% when properly tightened. After adjustment, the motor base should be locked, and the front cover reinstalled.
Applying Silicone Oil: Regular lubrication of the running board with silicone oil is crucial for smooth operation and to reduce friction. This is done by lifting the running belt slightly and squeezing silicone oil onto the sides of the running board. The manual provides an illustrative picture for this process.
The manual also includes a section on "Translation of Error Codes" to help users diagnose and troubleshoot common issues, such as communication abnormalities, no signal from the motor, overcurrent protection, explosion-proof impact protection, and missing safety key. Each error code is accompanied by a description and possible solutions, guiding users on how to address these problems or when to seek professional assistance.
