Assembly

Step 1

Remove the treadmill from the packaging and lay it on a flat surface. Then loosen the locking knob (see Figure 1). Raise the upright all the way and tighten the locking knob.

Note: Figure 1: If you need to fold or move the treadmill, first make sure that the right locking knob of the upright is locked and secured; otherwise there is a risk of pinching your hand. (Turn the locking knob counterclockwise to loosen; turn it clockwise to lock.)

Note: Figure 2: installation requires at least two people.

Adjusting the Locking Knob Tension

The locking knob is factory-set to the optimal tightening force. Depending on the user's hand strength, the knob can be further adjusted to reduce play in the upright and make it more stable.

Proceed as follows (see figure):

• Remove the soft cap from the lower end of the left upright;
• Insert the hex key from the accessory kit into the hole in the left upright and engage it with the hex nut. Turn clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen;
• After adjusting, close the hole with the soft round cap.

Step 2

• Take the 4 brackets from the packaging and install the left and right suction cups in the corresponding mounting holes.
• Secure them with the hex key and M8*16 bolts.
• Align the holes and fit the M8 flat washers and M8 double-sided toothed lock washers on the left and right sides of the frame.
• Then insert 2 caps into the holes (see Figure 3).

Note: There are 6 adjustable support pads on the underside of the treadmill that can be adjusted to suit the evenness of the floor. Make sure all supports stand firmly on the floor; otherwise this may cause extraneous noise and lead to unwanted damage during workouts.

Step 3

• Insert the left and right handrails into the corresponding slots on the upright and install two M8*16 screws using the 5 mm hex key.
• The M8 flat washer and the M8 double-sided toothed lock washer are secured in the threaded holes of the left and right handrails.
• Then insert the cover into the hole (see Figure 3).
• Finally, insert the phone holder into the top slot (see Figure 4).

Step 4

Place the safety key in the position shown in the figure and press the "Start" button to start the treadmill.

Note: The treadmill will only start when the safety key is placed on the yellow mark under the control panel.

Note: After installation, make sure all screws are tightened evenly as required, and check that no part has been left out before connecting to the mains.

Tablet Mode

• To activate tablet mode, first turn off the power.
• Spread the left and right side handrails in opposite directions, then release the knob at the bottom of the right upright to lower it.
• Tighten the knob (as shown in the diagram).
• Then turn on the power. The indicator on the motor compartment panel will light up, confirming that tablet mode is active.
• Remove the remote control from the motor cover to start using the treadmill.

Setup and Operation

Using the Treadmill

• Plug the power cord into the outlet and turn on the power switch (red) (1).

• When the indicator lights up, you will hear a beep, after which the display will turn on (TFT displays may take a little longer to load the start screen).

Safety key

• The treadmill can run only when the safety key is placed in the yellow zone on the console panel.
• Clip the key to your clothing during your workout to prevent accidents.
• After the treadmill stops, put the key back in place to continue using it.

Remote control

After turning on the power, hold the "Start/Stop" button for about 7 seconds to pair the remote with the treadmill (a beep sounds when pairing succeeds). If there is no beep, pairing has failed. Once paired, the remote can be used to control the treadmill. The remote has 4 buttons:

• "Start/Stop"
• "Speed +" (increase speed)
• "Speed -" (decrease speed)
• other functions.

Error Codes and Troubleshooting

Care, Storage and Maintenance

Maintenance

Regular cleaning

Turn off the power before cleaning and use a minimal amount of water and soapy solution to prevent moisture from getting onto electrical parts.

Clean the running belt and other parts of the treadmill regularly. After each workout, wipe down the entire treadmill, including the console, with a mild soapy solution, then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Simple care will keep the equipment looking great for many years. Do not use abrasive or rough brushes and cloths, as they may damage the surface of the equipment. Do not let cleaning agents or liquids get onto the surface of the equipment. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the treadmill.

Lubricating the running belt

Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer, such as silicone treadmill lubricant. Other types and compositions of lubricants may damage the equipment.

Lubrication frequency

• Light use (less than 3 hours per week): lubricate once every 10 months.
• Heavy use (more than 7 hours per week): lubricate every 2–5 months.

Lubrication procedure

Lift the running belt, locate the caps and spread the lubricant evenly along the entire length of the belt.

After applying the lubricant, run the treadmill at 4–5 km/h and walk on it for a few minutes so that the lubricant spreads evenly over the deck.

Avoid over-lubrication

Do not apply too much lubricant, as this can make the belt too slippery and dangerous. Remove excess lubricant with a clean towel.

Running Belt Adjustment

Check and adjust the tension and alignment of the running belt to prevent wear and ensure safe operation.

Checking belt alignment

Make sure the treadmill is placed on a level surface. Run the belt at 3–8 km/h and watch how it moves. If the belt drifts to the left or right, use the adjustment bolts to correct its position.

Belt drifting to the left

• Turn the left adjustment bolt 1/2 turn clockwise.
• Then turn the right adjustment bolt 1/2 turn counterclockwise.
• Check the belt position after 1–2 minutes. If the belt has not returned to the center, repeat the procedure.

Belt drifting to the right

• Turn the right adjustment bolt 1/2 turn clockwise.
• Then turn the left adjustment bolt 1/2 turn counterclockwise.
• Check the belt position after 1–2 minutes. Repeat the adjustment if necessary.

Adjusting belt tension

• If the belt is too loose, it may slip during operation. To check the tension, run the treadmill at 1 km/h and press lightly on the belt with your foot.
• If the belt stops while the motor and rollers keep running, the tension is too loose and must be tightened.
• Turn the adjustment bolts at both ends of the belt 1/2 turn clockwise. Make sure you turn both bolts the same number of times for even tension.
• Check the tension again and make sure the belt does not slip but is not overtightened.

Avoid overtightening

• Do not overtighten the running belt, as this puts excessive pressure on the front and rear roller bearings, causing squeaking and accelerated wear.
• With correct tension, you can slightly lift the edges of the belt by 50–70 mm on both sides.

Storing the Treadmill

Recommended storage and operating conditions

• Temperature: +10…+35 °C.
• Humidity: 50–75%.
• Acclimatization: if the treadmill has been stored at low temperature or high humidity (there are signs of condensation), keep it under normal conditions for at least 2–4 hours before use. Only then may you start using the treadmill.

Workout Tips and Recommendations

Warm-up and Cool-down

A successful exercise program consists of three parts: warm-up, cardio training and cool-down.

The warm-up is a very important part of a workout. It should be done before every workout. Warming up helps warm the body, stretch the muscles and allow the body to adapt to more intense exercise. Repeating the warm-up at the end of the exercise can help relieve muscle soreness.

We suggest doing the appropriate warm-up and cool-down exercises according to the following scheme:

Head rolls

First tilt your head toward your right shoulder, stretch your neck and rotate your head once clockwise and once counterclockwise; then tilt your head toward your left shoulder and make one counterclockwise rotation. Repeat.

Shoulder lifts

Raise your left shoulder and make 5 backward rotations; then raise your right shoulder and make 5 backward rotations, alternating sides.

Side stretch

Raise your arms above your head, then grasp your right wrist with your left hand and reach upward until you feel your right arm fully stretched. Hold for 5 seconds before switching to the other arm.

Quadriceps stretch

Holding onto a wall with your right hand for balance, pull your left foot back with your left hand, bringing the heel as close to your buttock as possible. Hold for 15 seconds, then repeat with the other leg.

Inner thigh stretch

Sitting on the floor, put the soles of your feet together, clasp them with both hands and pull them in as close to your body as possible. Slowly press down on both heels and hold this position for 15 seconds.

Toe touch

Slowly bend forward, relax your back and shoulders and reach for your toes. Bend as low as you can and hold the position for up to 15 seconds.

Hamstring stretch

Sit down, straighten your right leg and bend your left leg. Hold your left ankle with your left hand and pull it inward so that your left foot is as close to your body as possible, with the sole against the inner side of your right thigh. Then lean your body forward and reach both hands toward your toes — the deeper the stretch, the better. Hold this position for 15 seconds, then switch legs.

Calf stretch

Lean against a wall with both hands, tilt your body at a 45-degree angle to the floor and alternately move your left and right legs back, as if walking.
