ADJUSTING THE BELT.-
If your unit is not seated evenly on the
four contact points, this may cause the
belt (X) to shift sideways. Rigorous
quality control adjusts and checks the
running belt. However, due to weight
differences and individual styles of
running, the belt may be prone to shift
sideways.
If the belt does shift to the left or right,
stop the machine.
BELT OFFSET TO THE RIGHT.-
This procedure is very important.
Follow these steps. In order to adjust
the belt, set the unit in motion at a
speed of 4km/h. If the belt has moved
to the right, turn screw (R) on the
right-hand side of the machine a 1⁄4
turn clockwise. Note the position of the
belt, if after one minute the belt is not
completely centred then repeat the
operation. If you see that the belt has
moved too far over to the left then turn
the right screw back slightly in an
anticlockwise direction Fig.13.
As soon as you have adjusted the belt
you can begin exercising again.
BELT OFFSET TO THE LEFT.-
In the event that the belt has moved to
the left, turn screw (L) on the left-hand
side of the machine a 1⁄4 turn
clockwise. Note the position of the
belt, if after one minute the belt is not
completely centred then repeat the
operation. If you see that the belt has
moved too far over to the right then
turn the left screw back slightly in an
anticlockwise direction Fig.13.
Important: Overtightening of the belt can
lead to a loss of speed on the machine
and even stretch the belt itself. Bear In
mind that one turn of the right screw (R)
in a clockwise direction has the same
effect on the position of the belt as one
turn of the left screw (L) in an
anticlockwise direction. Consequently, in
the event of excessive belt movement
you can use either of the two screws in
order to avoid overtightening the belt.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.-
FITNESS.
Being fit means living life to the full.
Modern society suffers greatly from
stress. City life is basically sedentary.
There are too many calories and too
much fat in our diet. All doctors agree
that regular exercise is a good way to
control our weight, make us fitter and
help us to relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE.-
Regular exercise below a certain level
for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic.
Aerobic exercise is basically exercise
that uses oxygen. Normally, this is a
continuous exercise without pauses.
In addition to sugars and fats, the
body also needs oxygen. Regular
exercise improves the body's ability to
supply oxygen to all of the muscles
and at the same time improve lung
function, the heart's pumping capacity
and better blood circulation. In short,
the energy produced during exercise
burns kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT
CONTROL.-
The food we eat is transformed into,
among other things, energy (calories)
for our body. If we take in more
calories than we burn then the result is
an increase in weight and vice versa,
if we burn more calories than we eat,
we lose weight. When resting the body
burns around 70 calories per hour to
