window. Please read the MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for the proper steps to lubricating your machine.
After lubrication is applied, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 3 seconds to clear the reminder.
The window will then display total odometer distance.
To check the total distance: Press speed -, speed -, speed -, speed +, speed -, speed -, speed +, speed +,
speed +, speed +, speed - , and incline + in turn. This must be done within 5 seconds.
You can connect your mobile device to the treadmill to play music. To select music tracks and adjust
the volume of music, this will be done directly from your device buttons.
There are 2 ways to connect to the treadmill:
1. Connect your device using the MP3 AUX cable.
2. Connect your device using Bluetooth.
To connect using Bluetooth, make sure the MP3 AUX cable is disconnected. If the MP3 AUX cable is
connected, the Bluetooth will not function.
From your mobile device, select SYMK from the list of available devices and connect.
If the mobile device receives a phone call while it is connected using Bluetooth, the treadmill Bluetooth
will automatically disconnect. When you want to resume playing music on the treadmill, you will have
to connect again.

VII. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are
over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and
stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to
your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough
energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work
so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.
WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your
exercise.
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your
intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
EXERCISE GUIDE |
26
COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-
exercise problems.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and
cool down for a few minutes.

VIII. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be made to extend the lifetime of this unit. Performance is
maximized when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.
WARNING:
• The mat/deck friction may lay a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why
we recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill.
Failing to do this may void your warranty.
• Unplug power cord before maintenance.
• Stop treadmill before folding.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. A
mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt.
This task should be done once a month. Allow to dry before using.
• On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent dust build up. Once a year, you
should remove the black motor shield and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate.
1. GENERAL CLEANING
• Check parts for wear before use.
• Pay particular attention to the fixing knobs and make sure they are tight.
• Always replace the mat if worn and any other defective parts.
• If in doubt do not use the treadmill and contact us.
2. GENERAL CARE
Take care to protect carpets and floor in case of leakages. This product is a machine that
contains moving parts which have been greased/lubricated and could leak.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS |
The mat/deck friction may play a major role in the function and life of your treadmill and that is why we
recommend you constantly lubricate this friction point to prolong the useful life of your treadmill. You
should apply lubrication after approximately the first 30 hours of operation.
3. BELT/DECK/ROLLER LUBRICATION
28| MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend lubrication of the deck according to the following timetable:
• Light use (less than 3 hours per week) every 6 months.
• Medium use (3-5 hours a week) every 3 months.
• Heavy use (more than 5 hours per week) every 6-8 weeks.
See below procedures for lubricating:
1. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area between the belt and deck.
2. Spread lubricant onto the inside surface of belt and deck evenly (make sure the machine is
turned off and power is disconnected).
3. Periodically lubricate the front and rear rollers to keep them at their peak performance. If
the treadmill belt/deck/roller is kept reasonably clean it is possible to expect over 1200 hours
before relubricating is necessary.

Lifespan Fitness YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/treadmillsvideos
1. Disconnect the main power supply.
2. Fold the treadmill up into the storage position.
3. Feel the underside surface of the running mat.
If the surface is slick when touched, then no further lubrication is needed.
If the surface is dry to the touch, apply a suitable silicone lubricant.
4. HOW TO CHECK THE RUNNING MAT FOR PROPER LUBRICATION

29MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS |
C
To adjust the tightness of the belt: Turn the
treadmill off. Turn both the left and right
adjusting bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until
the belt correctly tightens.
See Picture C
If the belt is over tightened, simply do the
opposite to loosen.
Place treadmill on a level surface. Run treadmill at approximately 4km/h, checking the running
condition.
5. ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT
If the belt has drifted to the right: Whilst the
treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn
the right adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then
monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat
until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture A
If you have over adjusted the belt and it drifts
to the right, carefully turn the right adjusting
bolt anticlockwiseuntil the belt centers.
A
If the belt has drifted to the left: Whilst the
treadmill is running at 4km/h, carefully turn
the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Then
monitor treadmill until the belt centers. Repeat
until the belt correctly centers.
See Picture B
If you have over adjusted it, carefully turn the
left adjusting bolt anticlockwiseand until the
belt centers.

30
NOTE:
When properly tightened,you should be able to peel the very edge of the side of the belt up
approximately 2 inches. However, this is a rough reference and not all treadmills are the same.
Some treadmills that have longer belts may give different measurements for correct belt tightness.
Simply, if the belt begins to slip during use, this is an indication that the belt still needs tightening.

IX. REPLACING MOTOR BRUSHES
After extended use, the motor brushes in your treadmill motor will wear down, and this can lead to
motor failure. It is important that you maintain your motor by replacing the brushes on either side of
the motor when they are worn down. We recommend that you check your motor every 1000 hours of
usage.
IMPORTANT:
Before beginning the replacement of your motor brush, ensure that the treadmill is off and unplugged
from the electrical socket.
1. Remove the cover from the motor by
squeezing it from the sides.
2. You will find the motor brush held in with a
clip, with the lead plugged in.
Lead

4b. Some treadmill motors may use a push
clip instead. In this case, gently push the
clip inwards and then up to release it from
its latch.
4c. Remove the clip, noting the direction in
which it was originally placed, and put it
safely aside.
5. Slide the motor brush out from its slot.
If the brush is shorter than 1cm on the
longest side, you will need to replace both
brushes.
6. Slide the motor brush lead off the terminal
using another small screwdriver or needle
nosed pliers.
7. Plug the new motor brush lead into the
terminal.
8. Slide the new motor brush into the slot.
| REPLACING MOTOR BRUSHES
33
9a. Release the clip back into its position. 9b. If your motor uses a push clip, replace the
push clip by pushing it inwards and then
down so that it engages the catch.
10. Check that the motor brush is held firmly
in place by the clip, and that the lead is
plugged securely onto the terminal.
11. Replace the motor cover. Repeat steps 1-15
for the second brush located on the
opposing side of the motor.
12. You have now successfully replaced the motor brushes. We also recommend that you remove any
dirt and dust from your treadmill motor fan using a vacuum cleaner before replacing the cover.

XIV. HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY
This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals
that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and
that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your
pulse.
To ensure proper operation:
• The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors.
• The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet.
Other factors that could affect the reading:
• Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
• Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signal.
• Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill.
EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and "Noise" factors that may affect the
reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the
heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no
electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.
These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can
cost upwards of $3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient
in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise
machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer
treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.
To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the
sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will
eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly
(saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
