5 Product Description
Risk of Injury Through Falling!
During training, especially during the initial use of the device there is a danger
of injury from falling.
► Familiarize yourself with treadmill operation before training.
► Hold on to the safety railing during the first training program until you can
move safely on the treadmill.
5.1 Running Surface
The running surface belt consists of individual slats which are mounted on a set of
wedged-toothed belts.
The individual slats consist of two components. The base is a solid aluminum profile and
the tread is comprised of a high-traction rubber compound. The combination makes it
“the softest treadmill in the world”. The approx. ½” (1.2 cm) thick rubber surface signifi-
cantly reduces the impact energy, thus making WOODWAY treadmills much easier on
the joints than conventional treadmills.
The WOODWAY running surface differs fundamentally from running belts on convention-
al treadmills (for which cotton-nylon belts are normally used). On your WOODWAY
treadmill you may initially notice higher surface grip than you have experienced before.
The more you use your treadmill, the more you will grow accustomed to the grip. As
with all treadmills, it is also important on a WOODWAY treadmill not to shuffle your feet
if possible.
5.2 Transport System
The support system consists of 2 supporting/secondary rails, which are equipped with
high-performance bearings. V-belt guides (6) on each rail ensure lateral stability. The
rollers transfer the load to and from the motor and prevent the running belt from slip-
ping through.
The system supports the running surface and distributes the load evenly over the entire
treadmill. The running surface belt (slats and steel-wire reinforced, toothed V-belt) is
guided by form-fitted drive pulleys on the front and back. The device can even be used
without external drive, simply by pushing the treadmill to start the belt moving. The
combination of running surface, secondary bearing rails, and drive pulleys gives this slat
system unique characteristics:
Low friction (energy saving)
Low wear (approx. 150,000 mile [240,000 km] functional service life)
100% power transfer through the form-fitted, toothed V-belt system
High service life (one running surface belt for one treadmill life)
