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
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
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

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
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.
