current, should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the drawing below.

MAINTAINENCE
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE Smooth -5.25 TREADMILL:
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance could cause
damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and exceed the LIMITED WARRANTY coverage.
• Important: DO NOT use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids away
and keep it out of direct sunlight.
• Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
ALL BELT ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED MAINTENIANCE, AND ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE END USER.
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has been adjusted properly
at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could cause the belt to shift off center resulting in
the belt rubbing on the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing damage to the equipment. To adjust the belt back to it’s
proper position please follow the directions below:
• Walking belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn
the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run
the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the above
procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this
procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
• Walking belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge protector
and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the
above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed
this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
• Walking belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn both the left
and right rear roller adjustment bolts the equal amounts, 1/2 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the
surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still slipping.
Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is not slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to slip. If proper
tension cannot be achieved within four attempts please contact Smooth Fitness Technical Support. Belt centering may be
necessary once you have completed the tensioning procedure.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.

MAINTAINENCE
CLEANING:
Routine cleaning of your treadmill will extend the product's life.
• Warning: To prevent electrical shock, be sure the power to the treadmill is OFF and the power cord is unplugged from the
wall electrical outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
• Important: DO NOT use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids away
and keep it out of direct sunlight.
• After each workout: Wipe off the console and other treadmill surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to remove
excess perspiration.
• Weekly: Use of a treadmill mat is recommended for ease of cleaning. Dirt from your shoes contacts the belt and eventually
makes it to underneath the treadmill. Vacuum underneath treadmill once a week.
DECK LUBRICATION:
The walking belt has been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it is recommended that the running deck be checked periodically for
lubrication to ensure optimal treadmill performance. Your treadmill should not have to be lubricated usually within the first 400 hours of
use.
Every 2 months of operation lift the sides of the walking belt and feel the top surface of the running deck as far as you can reach. If you
feel signs of silicone, no further lubrication is required. If it feels dry to the touch, follow the instructions below.
. To purchase lubricant Kit please contact Smooth Fitness 1-888-800-1167
To apply lubricant under the walking belt:
1. Position the walking belt so that the seam is located on top and in center of the walking board.
2. Insert the spray nozzle into the spray head of the lubricant can.
3. While lifting the side of the walking belt, position the spray nozzle between the walking belt and the board approximately 6"
from the front of the treadmill and as far to the center as possible. Apply the silicone spray to the walking board, moving from
the front of the treadmill to the rear. Repeat this on the other side of the belt. Spray approximately 1/4 bottle (supplied with
treadmill) each time.
4. Allow the silicone to "set" for 1 minute before using the treadmill.
Apply from front to back.

IMPORTANT STEPS
Warning:
Before using this product, please consult your personal physician for a complete physical examination. Frequent and strenuous
exercise should be approved by your doctor prior to use. If any discomfort should result from your use of this product, stop exercising
and consult your doctor. Proper usage of this product is essential. Please read your manual carefully before exercising.
Please keep all children away from the equipment during use and when equipment is unattended.
Always wear appropriate clothing, including athletic shoes, when exercising. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught
during exercising.
Make sure that all bolts and nuts are tightened before each use. Periodic maintenance is required on all exercise equipment to keep it
in good condition.
Before beginning:
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years, or are severely
overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time gradually, a few minutes per week.
Initially you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone. However, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next
six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to
exercise continuously for 30 minutes. And the better your aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone.
But remember these essentials:
• Contact your physician before starting a workout or training program. Have your doctor review your training and diet programs
to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Supplement your program with some type of aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, dancing and/or bicycling.
Monitor your pulse frequently. If you do not have an electronic heart rate monitor, have your physician show you the proper
way to manually check your pulse by using your wrist or neck. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and
condition.
• Drink plenty of fluids during the course of your routine. You must replace the water content lost from excessive exercising to
avoid dehydration. Avoid drinking large amounts of cold liquids. Fluids should be at room temperature when consumed.
www.smoothfitness.com 33
TARGET HEART RATE
Finding your pulse:
To make sure your heart is beating in its target zone, you’ll need to know how to monitor your heart rate. The easiest way is to feel the
pulse in the carotid artery on either side of your neck, between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. Count the number of beats in
ten seconds, and then multiply that number by six. This gives you the number of beats per minute.
How fast should your heart beat during aerobic exercise? Fast enough to reach and stay in its “target zone,” a range of beats per
minute that is largely determined by your age and physical condition. To determine your target zone, consult the chart we have
provided.

Aerobic exercise:
Is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. It will improve the fitness of your lungs and heart:
your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle groups - arms, legs or
buttocks, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise
routine.

STRETCHING ROUTINE
Warm up and cool down:
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and
preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your workouts to four or five
times per week.
Warming up is an important part of your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your body for more strenuous exercise
by heating up and stretching out your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
At the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. We suggest the warm-up and cool-down
exercises on the following pages:

your waist, letting your back
and shoulders relax as you
stretch toward your toes.
