OWNER'S MANUAL • J4F/J5F

MAINTENANCE

The equipment is safe to use only when

periodically maintained and inspected for faults

and wear. CAUTION! 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 ﬁ xing screws once a year.

Do not overtighten. Defective components must

be immediately replaced; the equipment must not

be operated with any defective components.

LUBRICATING THE RUNNING DECK

Lubrication is the most important service activity

for the treadmill. This is absolutely essential, if the

friction of the running deck increases noticeably

or the motor begins to heat up; increased friction

is indicated by jerky movement of the belt.

Insufﬁ cient lubrication will cause the belt, running

deck and motor to wear out and break. The need

for re-lubrication depends to a great extent on the

running styles and weight of the user: heavy user

weight and slow speed put particular strain on the

device and therefore demand greater lubrication.

The running deck requires periodic lubrication.

With average usage (30 minute workout session 3

times a week), lubricate every four to six months.

You may adjust the timing of the lubrication based

on the intensity of the treadmill use level. To check

the lubrication level, simply lift the running belt,

and put your hand as far into the center of the

belt as you can reach. If your hand shows signs of

lubricant (some wetness), then it does not need

additional lubrication. If the board feels dry and

there is very little evidence of lubricant on your

hand, then additional lubrication should be added

as instructed:

1. Stop running belt so belt seam is located on the

top and in the center of the deck.

2. Insert nozzle into spray head of lubricant can.

3. Lift running belt.

4. Position nozzle between the belt and the board

approximately 200 mm (8") from the front of the

treadmill.

5. Apply T-Lube from the front to the rear of the

treadmill on each side of the treadmill. Try to reach

the spray as far into the center of the running deck

as possible.

6. The treadmill is instantly ready for use.

NOTE! Lubricate your treadmill only with T-Lube

lubricant. Contact your local Tunturi distributor

for supplies of T-Lube.

CLEANING THE TREADMILL

Wipe the treadmill surfaces, especially the

handlebars and meter 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.).

To clean the underside of the treadmill, lift the

running deck to the storage position.

NOTE! 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.

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 1/4 turn clockwise and the right

adjustment bolt 1/8 turn anti-clockwise. If the belt

drifts to the right, turn the right adjustment bolt

1/4 turn clockwise and the left adjustment bolt 1/4

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,

1/4 turn clockwise.

3. Try to slow the belt down by holding onto the
