Use a soft cloth to remove dust. Persistent stains (like sweat) can be removed with a slightly damp cloth.
Be aware of electrical dangers: ensure that the treadmill is off and unplugged.
If you tip the treadmill onto its side while the platform is open (in-use position), the platform may close suddenly. You are strongly advised to fold the platform into the
storage position and ensure that the locking system is engaged before tipping the treadmill.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE TREADMILL BELT
The treadmill belt should always be perfectly centred. An alignment defect will inevitably cause premature wearing of the belt (ripping at the edges) and, in the long-
term, will prevent your treadmill from functioning properly (a lack of driving force in the rollers).
1. Run your treadmill at 5km/h (3mph) and stand behind the machine.
2. The belt is off-centre to the left: turn the left-hand adjusting nut a half
of a turn clockwise.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE TREADMILL BELT
The treadmill belt is a part subject to wear and tear which slackens over time.
Retighten it as soon as it begins to slip over the rollers (skating).
1. Turn both adjusting nuts a quarter of a turn clockwise.
2. Repeat the procedure if necessary but be careful not to over-tighten the belt.
The belt is correctly tightened if you can lift the edges by a few centimetres
on each side.
This treadmill does not need lubricating.

3. The belt is off-centre to the right: turn the right-hand adjusting nut a
half of a turn clockwise.
4. Let the treadmill run long enough for the belt to reposition itself (1 to 2 minu-
tes) and repeat the procedure if necessary.
However, make sure that you do not over-tighten the belt.
