MAINTENANcE
The equipment is safe to use only when periodically
maintained and inspected for faults and wear. Do
not attempt any servicing or adjustment other than
those described in this manual. Any other servicing
must be performed by an authorized service
representative. Check the tightness of all fixing
screws once a year. Do not overtighten. Defective
components must be immediately replaced: the
equipment must not be operated with any defective
components.
cLEANING AND LUBRIcATING THE TREADMILL
FAILURE TO LUBRIcATE YOUR TREADMILL MAY
INVALIDATE THE pRODUcT’S WARRANTY!
Wipe the treadmill surfaces, especially the
handlebars and console from dust with a damp
cloth or towel. Do not use solvents. Use a small
vacuum nozzle to carefully vacuum around all
visible components (belt, running deck, side rails
etc.). Also keep the area near the treadmill clean.
While in use, the treadmill gathers dust that may
cause problems in the operation of the equipment.
In average domestic use (a maximum of 60 minutes
a day), you should check the lubrication once a
month – however, lubricate the belt only if needed.
In more demanding use, the lubrication needs be
checked at shorter intervals. This is best done before
you begin a training session. Check the lubrication
as follows:
1. Ensure the treadmill is powered off! Step on the
treadmill belt and stand steadily where you normally
run on the belt.
2. Take hold of the horizontal handlebar and push
the belt with your feet so that it slides back and
forth. The
belt should move softly and evenly, without a
sound.
3 . If you notice jerky movement or if the belt will
not slide check for lubrication by sliding your hand
under
the belt.
Lubricate the running deck according to the
following instructions:
1. Attach the nozzle of the lubrication tube to the
T-Lube S container.
2. Adjust the running deck to its maximum
elevation.
3. Position the nozzle between the belt and the
board on the underside of the treadmill. Try to reach
the spray as far into the center of the running deck
as possible.
4. Spray the lubricant for 2-3 seconds.
5. Lower the running deck into its normal position.
Use your treadmill for your training session. Or allow
the treadmill to run for at least 5 minutes.
NOTE! Lubricate your treadmill only with T-Lube
S silicon lubricant. Contact your local Tunturi
distributor for further supplies of T-Lube or further
information on lubrication and maintenance.
ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT
Monitor belt tracking during exercise and make
adjustments as needed. The belt should run in the
center of the treadmill. Alignment is not usually
needed, provided
•
the treadmill is placed on an even, solid and
horizontal surface and the belt is correctly tensioned
•
the alignment of the belt is correct
It is, however, possible for the belt to be pushed to
one side due to the user’s running style (e.g. more
weight on one foot). The alignment of the belt is
adjusted by turning the two bolts at the back of the
treadmill.
Align the belt according to the following
instructions:
1. Turn the power switch on and increase the
treadmill’s speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).
2. If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment
bolt ¼ turn clockwise and the right adjustment bolt
1/8 turn anti-clockwise. If the belt drifts to the right,
turn the right adjustment bolt ¼ turn clockwise and
the left adjustment bolt ¼ turn anti-clockwise.
3. If the belt remains centered the adjustment is
correct. If not, continue to make small adjustments
as above until the belt is correctly aligned. If the belt
is allowed run across to one side for long periods of
time the edges of the belt may be damaged and the
treadmill may not continue to operate correctly. Any
damage to the belt caused by the lack of necessary
adjustment will not be covered by the warranty.
ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION
The belt must be tensioned if it begins to slip on
the rollers. In normal use, however, keep the belt
as loose as possible! The belt tension is adjusted by
turning the same screws as used for aligning the
running belt. If turning the screws will not effect the
belt tension, please contact your local Tunturi dealer.
1. Increase the treadmill’s speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).
2. Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount, ¼
turn clockwise.
3. Try to slow the belt down by holding onto the
handrails and braking as you walk (as if you were
walking downhill).
If the belt slips, turn another ¼ turn and repeat the
test. When braking heavily the belt may slip. If the
belt keeps slipping despite repeated adjustments,
please contact your local Tunturi dealer.
MALFUNcTIONS
NOTE! Despite continuous quality control, defects
and malfunctions caused by individual components
may occur in the equipment. In most cases it’s
