IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels. NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing. NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The maximum operating temperature specification is 40 degrees c, and humidity is 95% non‐condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces). Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a treadmill is first turned on or even during use. lf your treadmill is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part # QO120HM. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment‐grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER ‐ Improper connection of the equipment‐grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by qualified electrician. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt/15 amp circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2‐pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. customerservice@dyaco.ca ...
IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NEVER operate this treadmill without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired speed on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually. NEVER use your treadmill during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage treadmill components. Unplug the treadmill during an electrical storm as a precaution. Use caution while participating in other activities while walking on your treadmill; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance or stray from walking in the center of the belt; which may result in serious injury. NEVER mount or dismount the treadmill while the belt is moving. Treadmills start at a very low speed and it is unnecessary to straddle the belt during start up. Simply standing on the belt during slow acceleration is proper after you have learned to operate the unit. Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, speed, etc.). Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact your dealer. SAFETY TETHER CORD A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread‐belt. Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread‐belt movement. To Use: Place the magnet into position on the red portion of the console control head between the Start and Stop keys. Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures the treadmill from unauthorized use. Fasten the plastic clip onto your clothing securely to assure good holding power. Note: The magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping. The clip should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its function and limitations. The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two step coast ...

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR FOLDING TREADMILL Serious injury could occur if this folding treadmill is not unpacked properly. There is a Velcro strap installed around the treadmill base that prevents the treadmill from unfolding accidentally during shipping. If this strap is not removed properly the treadmill could spring open unexpectedly and cause injury if someone is standing near the treadmill when the strap is removed. To ensure your personal safety during removal of the shipping strap please make sure the treadmill is positioned flat on the ground, in the orientation it would be in if you were using the treadmill. Do not turn the treadmill up on its side while removing the shipping strap. This could cause the treadmill’s folding mechanism to spring open. If the end of the Velcro strap (that you need to grab to remove it) happens to be under the treadmill deck, reach under the deck to grab it, but do not tilt the treadmill up to gain access to the strap end.

USING A HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre‐wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance. Your workout must be within range ‐ distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon. Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032. WARNING! DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY! ...

HEART RATE The heart rate grips are located on the left and right handlebars that are positioned parallel to the walking deck. You can periodically grasp both of these (palms over the steel sensors) until you see your current heart rate. This readout is for reference only and should not be used medically in any way. It is not recommended to use the heart rate grips if the treadmill belt is moving faster than 4 mph. This may cause you to lose your balance. The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range. To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your Maximum Heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit. For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated: 220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate) 180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum) 180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum) So, for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left‐hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training ...

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort. The scale is as follows: Rating Perception of Effort 6 Minimal 7 Very, very light 8 Very, very light + 9 Very light 10 Very light + 11 Fairly light 12 Comfortable 13 Somewhat hard 14 Somewhat hard + 15 Hard 16 Hard + 17 Very hard 18 Very hard + 19 Very, very hard 20 Maximal You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day. customerservice@dyaco.ca ...
GENERAL MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or shock. BELT & DECK Your treadmill uses a very high‐efficient low‐friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth, or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow to dry before using. BELT DUST This occurs during normal break‐in or until the belt stabilizes. Sometimes the black dust from the belt will appear on the floor behind the treadmill, this is normal. GENERAL CLEANING Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. Please vacuum underneath your treadmill on a monthly basis to prevent excess build‐up of dirt that can get sucked up and get into the inner workings under the motor cover. Once a year, you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK. Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the walking or computer surface. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones, or any other compounds on the rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious injury to the body and/or deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the rubberized walking surface with a damp cloth (water only). From time‐to‐time the computer surface may collect dust or finger prints. The use of harsh chemicals will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with specially prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores especially made for anti‐static surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound. BELT ADJUSTMENTS Tread‐belt Tension Adjustment ‐ Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and left side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right and left side rails as noted in diagram below. Tracking / Tension Tracking / Tension Adjustment Adjustment Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.
Page 24
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread‐belt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension. When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN–Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt‐located under the motor cover ‐ that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained service person. TREAD‐BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be necessary. The treadmill is designed so that the tread‐belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. SETTING TREAD‐BELT TRACKING A 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference which may not be apparent right away. If the belt is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck. If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter‐clockwise. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users may af‐ fect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread‐belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills. ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

BELT/DECK LUBRICATION First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean, non‐fraying rag, t‐shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the length of the entire belt 1‐2 times. Remove the garment. Only lubricate your treadmill with 100% silicone treadmill lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of “Lube” and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Dyaco Canada Inc. or your authorized Sole Fitness dealer. You may also use a Lube‐n‐Walk kit that can be purchased through both aforementioned sellers. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty. The belt & deck come pre‐lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 90 hours of use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach between the belt and deck to verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there isn’t any lubrication present, follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” indicator isn’t lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate when the console’s lubrication reminder lights after 90 hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply the silicone lubricant: 1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 2. Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt approximately 4‐6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long in an “S” pattern perpendicular to the motor cover. 3. Repeat the process on the opposite side. 4. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on. 5. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes to evenly distribute the silicone lube. ...
Page 26
HOW TO CHECK IF THE TREADBOARD REQUIRES LUBRICATION Lift one side of the tread‐belt and feel the top surface of the tread board. If the surface is (slick) to the touch, then no further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant. RESET SWITCH RESETTING If your treadmill lost power or will not start, check the reset switch located on the front of the motor cover. If the white tab of the reset switch is not showing then the reset switch has not been tripped. If the white tab of the reset switch is showing, the reset switch has tripped. To reset the reset switch: Remove the safety clip on console. Press white tab of the reset switch in until it snaps back into place. If the reset switch continues to trip ‐ see tread‐belt adjustment and tread‐belt lubrication ADJUSTING THE SPEED SENSOR If the calibration does not pass you may need to check the speed sensor alignment. 1. Remove the motor cover hood by loosening the 4 screws that hold it in place (you do not need to remove them completely). 2. The speed sensor is located on the left side of the frame, right next to the front roller pulley (the pulley will have a belt around it that also goes to the motor). The speed sensor is small and black with a wire connected to it. 3. Make sure the sensor is as close as possible to the pulley without touching it. You will see a magnet on the face of the pulley; make sure the sensor is aligned with the magnet. There is a screw that holds the sensor in place that needs to be loosened to adjust the sensor. Re‐tighten the screw when finished. customerservice@dyaco.ca Dyaco Canada Inc. 2017...

TRAINING GUIDELINES EXERCISE Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are: Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency Decreased risk of coronary heart disease Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight Delaying the physiological effects of age Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self‐confidence, etc. BASIC COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS There are four all encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role. Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people. Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping. Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness. Cardio‐Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs AEROBIC FITNESS The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity. The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen. Anaerobic Training This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint). The Training Threshold This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter. ...

Progression As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. Specificity Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. Reversibility If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success. WARM UP Every exercise program should start with a warm up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Warm Down or Cool Down This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly o the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles Heart Rate As you exercise, so the rate at which your heart beat also increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110‐120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation. To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side. As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, so your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves. ...

Muscle Soreness For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor. WHAT TO WEAR Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”. Breathing During Exercise Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles. Rest periods Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm‐up stage again. The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one minute rest periods. customerservice@dyaco.ca Dyaco Canada Inc. 2017...

STRETCHING Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20‐30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
