Overview

The device is a YORK FITNESS Pegasus Plus Treadmill, Model No. 51072. It is designed for home, personal, family, or household use, offering a comprehensive fitness solution with various features for monitoring performance and setting targets.

Function Description

The Pegasus Plus Treadmill provides a platform for walking, jogging, and running exercises. It incorporates a range of features to enhance the user's workout experience, including adjustable speed and incline, pre-set workout programs, and user-programmable routines. The treadmill is equipped with a computer console that displays key workout metrics such as incline, pulse, time, speed, distance, calories burned, and elevation gain. It also includes an MP3 player input and speakers for entertainment during workouts.

A critical safety feature is the Magnetic Safety Key, which must be inserted for the treadmill to operate. If the key is pulled out (e.g., if the user falls), the running mat will decelerate and stop, preventing injury. The treadmill is also foldable for storage and transportation, making it suitable for home environments where space may be limited.

Instructions are provided for correcting issues like the mat moving to the left or right, or feeling too loose or too tight. Adjustments involve turning screws at the end of the main frame by 1/2 turn increments while the treadmill runs at low speed.
  • Mat and Deck Lubrication: The treadmill features a pre-lubricated deck system, but periodic lubrication is necessary to maintain function and life. Lubrication frequency depends on usage:
    • Less than 3 hours/week: every 8 months
    • 3-5 hours/week: every 4 months
    • More than 5 hours/week: every 2 months Instructions are provided for applying silicone lubricant between the mat and the running board.
  • Cleaning: The treadmill should be wiped down with a damp cloth after each workout.
  • Electrical Safety: Users are reminded to unplug the power cable before maintenance and to keep all electrical components away from water.
  • Troubleshooting: A dedicated section provides solutions for common issues like "ERR1 on screen" (speed sensor error), treadmill not starting, running mat slipping, treadmill noisy, and inaccurate pulse rate. It advises users to check connections, safety key, circuit breaker, and mat tension, and to contact customer support if problems persist after basic troubleshooting.
