 6. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important

especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the

accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart

rate trends in general.

Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The

key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is

an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is

called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per

minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.

So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

Warm-up

Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your

body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.

Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for

maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.

Cool Down

Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to

cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

15
 Workout Guidelines

TAR GE T ZON E

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool
down for a few minutes.

The most important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more calories you
will burn.

 7. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the life time of this unit. Performance is maximized when

the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.

WARNING: THE MAT/DECK FRICTION MAY PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE FUNCTION AND LIFE OF

YOUR TREADMILL AND THAT IS WHY WE RECOMMEND YOU CONSTANTLY LUBRICATE THIS

FRICTION POINT TO PROLONG THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL. FAILING TO DO THIS MAY

VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

WARNING: UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE MAINTENANCE

WARNING: STOP TREADMILL BEFORE FOLDING

1. General Cleaning

 Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A mild soap

and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. This task should be

done once a month. Allow to dry before using.

 On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you should

remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.

2. General Care

 Check parts for wear before use.

 Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.

 Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.

 If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact us.

TAKE CARE TO PROTECT CARPETS AND FLOOR in case of leakages. This product is a machine that contains
moving parts which have been greased / lubricated and could leak

17
3. Belt/Deck/Roller Lubrication

The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we

recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill. You should apply

lubrication after approximately the first 30 hours of operation. We recommend lubrication of the deck according to

the following timetable:

o Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months

o Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months

o Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks

See below procedures for lubricating:

1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.

2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is turned off and

power is disconnected).

3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak performance. If the treadmill

belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours before relubricating is

necessary.

18
 4. How to check the running mat for proper lubrication:
1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the underside surface of the running belt.

If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.

If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.

We recommend that you use a silicone-based spray to lubricate your Lifespan treadmill. This can be
purchased directly from us or any hardware store.

5. Adjusting the Running Belt

Place treadmill on a level surface. Run treadmill at
A
approximately 4km/h, checking the running condition.

If the belt has drifted to the right:

Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn

the right adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then
monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat until the
belt correctly centers. See Picture A

If you have over adjusted the belt and it drifts to the

right, carefully turn the right adjusting bolt
anticlockwise until the belt centers.
B
If the belt has drifted to the left:

Whilst the treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn

the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then
monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat until the
belt correctly centers. See Picture B

If you have over adjusted it, carefully turn the left

adjusting bolt anticlockwise and until the belt centers.
C

To adjust the tightness of the belt:

Turn the treadmill off. Turn both the left and right
adjusting bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until the belt
correctly tightens.

See Picture C

If the belt is over tightened, simply do the opposite to

loosen.

19
NOTE: When properly tightened, you should be able to peel the very edge of the side of the belt up

approximately 2 inches. However, this is a rough reference and not all treadmills are the same. Some

treadmills that have longer belts may give different measurements for correct belt tightness.

Simply, if the belt begins to slip during use, this is an indication that the belt still needs tightening.

Hand Pulse Technology

Our products come equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals
that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and
that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.

To ensure proper operation:

- The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors
- The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet
Other factors that could affect the reading:

- Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running)
- Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals
- Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill
EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and “Noise” factors that may affect the
reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the
heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no
electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.

These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost
upwards of
$3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not
running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and
even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart
rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.

To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the side step
rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the
movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great
conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
