NOTE! Do not turn more than 1/8 at the time as already very small adjustments effect the alignment.

4.If the belt remains centralised the adjustment is correct. If not, continue to make small adjustments as above, checking for centralisation each time until the belt is correctly aligned.

If the belt is allowed run across to one side for long periods 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

NOTE! 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.

1.Turn the power switch on and increase the treadmill's speed to 5 km/h (3 mph).

2.Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount, approximately 1/8 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). NOTE! When braking heavily the belt may slip.

4.If the belt slips, turn another 1/8 turn and repeat the test.

MAINTENANCE

We strongly recommend that a periodic maintenance schedule is adhered to. If you wish to have the maintenance carried out by a trained technician please contact your local Tunturi dealer for details of service available and charges.

Check from time to time that all fasteners are properly tight- ened and wiring is in place. To avoid damaging fasteners, do not overtighten.

CLEANING AND

INSPECTING THE RUNNING BELT

Turn the unit off and unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and from the treadmill. Carefully turn the treadmill on its side. Wipe off the inside of the running belt using a harsh brush. Do not use solvents.

Rotate the running belt carefully by hand to clean the entire inside face. Loosen the belt adjusting screws at the back of the treadmill, if necessary. Return the treadmill into the upright position.

If running belt edges are frayed, check the running belt alignment. If seams are splitting contact your local Tunturi representative.

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.). By supporting the device on one of the side rails you can also vacuum it from below. Vacuum also from inside the motor hood.

Clean the rollers once a year as follows: Loosen the adjusting bolts and wipe the rollers with a harsh brush. Tighten the tension adjustment bolts. Check that the running belt is aligned and centered on the treadmill bed.

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. Ensure after every 50 hours of use that both the belt and the running deck are moist with lubricant. Insufficient lubrication will cause the belt, running deck and motor to wear out and break.

The need for relubrication 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. Use only T-Lube lubricant to lubricate the treadmill. Contact your local Tunturi dealer for further supplies of T-Lube.

NOTE! The device must under no circumstances be lubricated with silicone!

1.Let the treadmill run at 5 km/h (3 mph).

2.Spray T-Lube directly to the underside of the running belt for 5 seconds; the amount corresponds to 10 ml.

3.Ensure that a strip of about 20 cm / 8" wide on the underside of the running belt becomes moist with T-Lube along its whole length. The treadmill is instantly ready for use.
