5.4 ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt is tensioned at the factory. However, due to stretching, it may be necessary to re-tension
and readjust the running belt after some time. This is done via screws in the end caps of the running belt
frame, which can be turned with the Allen key supplied.
5.4.1 Checking the tension of the running belt
If the running belt slips when stepping on, when changing speed or already when switching on, it is
probably too weakly tensioned. However, the running belt may
neither be too tight, as this increases the wear of the ball bearings,
among other things.
• Ensure that no children or animals approach the treadmill.
• Switch on the device and run the belt at 4 to 6 km/h and observe
the run.
5.4.2 Uniform retightening of the running belt
• Turn the screws alternately on both sides evenly and carefully
about a quarter turn clockwise to increase the tension. Do not
stretch too much.
• Check that the running belt is centred and adequately tensioned.
5.4.3 Relaxing the running belt
In rare cases, the running belt may be too tight. Then:
• Carefully turn the screw(s) about a quarter turn anticlockwise to
reduce the tension.
• Check that the running belt is centred and adequately tensioned.
5.4.4 Adjusting the running belt centrally
• If the belt does not run centrally, the tension must be increased
on the side to which it is drifting. (drifting to the right => tighten slightly on the right or relax slightly
on the left;
drifting to the left => tighten slightly on the left or relax slightly on the right)
• Retighten by a maximum of a quarter turn, then check the central running again.
5.5 EMERGENCY STOP
Before beginning a workout session ensure that the Safety
Tether Key is properly placed onto the Computer Console
and the Safety Clip is securely attached to an article of your
clothing. If you fall the clip will pull out the SAFETY TETHER
KEY from the Computer Console and the running belt will stop
immediat ely for emergency stop, helping to prevent injury.
Replaced the Safety Tether Key onto the Computer Console.
Press the START button to begin exercise again.
5.3.3 Re-filling silicone oil
• Fold in the device as described inchapter 5.
On the underside of therunning belt frame you
find two redopenings.
• Pour a few drops of silicone oilinto both open-
ings and wait a fewseconds. Wipe off spilled oil,
ifnecessary.
• If desired, fold down the running beltframe
again.The oil cannotflow backso you can use
the device withouthesitation.
