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 fixing screws once a year. Do not overtighten.

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 or by error code 15 appearing on the display. Insufficient 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. We recommend you check the lubrication after every 100 hours of use. If the inside of the belt

is not moist with T-Lube, lubricate the belt with T-Lube immediately. Use only T-Lube lubricant to lubricate the treadmill. Contact your local Tunturi distributor for further supplies of T-Lube.

Attach the nozzle to the T-Lube container. Let the treadmill run at 1,5 km/h. Push the nozzle completely into either lubrication pipe. Spray T-Lube into the pipe until the belt has rotated once (see the seam of the belt), stop spraying and pull the nozzle out. The treadmill is instantly ready for use.

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, carefully turn the treadmill on its side, or if your treadmill is J9F, lift the running deck to the storage position.

ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT

Monitor belt tracking during exercise and make adjustments as needed. The belt should run in the centre 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 1/8 turn clockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/8 turn anticlockwise. Do not turn more than 1/8 at the time as already very small adjustments effect the alignment.

• If the belt drifts to the right, turn the right adjustment bolt 1/8 turn clockwise and the left adjustment bolt 1/8 turn anticlockwise.

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.
