PRESET PROGRAMS

The treadmill has 24 different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These 24 programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, youmust first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardiovascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute
(60% of maximum)
180 x .8 = 144 beats per minute
(80% of maximum)

So, for a 40-year-old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.

The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60% respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.

The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.

The scale is as follows:

Rating Perception of Effort

• 6Minimal
• Very, very light
• Very, very light +
• Very light
• Very light +
• Fairly light
• Comfortable
• Somewhat hard
• Somewhat hard +
• Hard
• Hard +
• Very hard
• Very hard +
• Very, very hard
• Maximal

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example, a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

BELT ADJUSTMENTS:

Tread-belt Tension Adjustment – Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the right-side rail as noted in diagram below.

Note: Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.

Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.

When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure.

TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:

The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be necessary.

The treadmill is designed to keep the tread-belt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the tread-belt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.

TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:

A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the left and the right side. Set belt speed at approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjustment can make a dramatic difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.

BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:

Do not lubricate with other than Dyaco approved lubricant. Your treadmill comes with one tube of lubricant and extra tubes can be ordered directly from Dyaco. There are commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved by Dyaco is Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that makes applying the lubrication easier. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components. Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.

The deck comes pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 90 hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied it will be necessary to loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller adjustment bolts — located in the rear end caps – enough to get your hand under the belt (5 –10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns and also remember how many turns, because when finished you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they were before.

Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean lint free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover. Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a one-foot long line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of the deck at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.

You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot that your feet would hit the belt as you are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If

you mostly run on the treadmill, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking. Once the lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts the same amount of turns as when you loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side, then follow the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated, and you should walk, not run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed. If you purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come with it to apply the lubrication.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or shock.

Belt and Deck – Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and deck life. Use water only – no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow to dry before using.

Belt Dust – This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.

General Cleaning – Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly basis, vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.

Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the walking or computer surface. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones, or any other compounds on the rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious injury to the body and/or deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the rubberized walking surface with a damp cloth (water only). From time-to-time the computer surface may collect dust or fingerprints. The use of harsh chemicals will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This surface may be cleaned with specially prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores especially made for anti-static surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning compound.

TREADMILL LUBRICATION

Your treadmill should require little maintenance other than periodically applying lubricant. Lubricating under the tread-belt will ensure superior performance and extend its life expectancy.

HOW TO CHECK IF THE TREADBOARD REQUIRES LUBRICATION

Lift one side of the tread-belt and feel the top surface of the tread board. If the surface is (slick) to the touch, then no further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant.

RESET SWITCH RESETTING

• If your treadmill loses power or will not start, check the reset switch located on the front of the motor cover.
• If the white tab of the reset switch is not showing, then the reset switch has not been tripped.
• If the white tab of the reset switch is showing, the reset switch has tripped.

To reset the reset switch:

• Remove the safety clip on console.
• Press white tab of the reset switch in until it snaps back into place.
• If the reset switch continues to trip – see tread-belt adjustment and tread-belt lubrication

SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

If the monitor does not display in the calibration mode, the speed sensor and magnet may be misaligned. (ONLY IN CALIBRATION MODE)

Note: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical hazard or shock.

Follow these steps to check and realign.

• Remove the motor cover
• Check the spacing and alignment between the magnet on the right side of the front roller and the speed sensor on the frame. The spacing must be 1/8”.
• Loosen screw and slide speed sensor in or out of clamp.
• Retighten screw and replace the motor cover.

How to enter factory settings to change from miles to kilometers

Remove the safety key. Press and hold the PROGRAM button and reinsert the safety key. Release the PROGRAM button after reinserting the safety key. Press the ENTER button once to select miles or km (0 is miles and 1 is KM). Press the speed ▲ / ▼button to change the values in each menu. Roller diameter (60), speed (0.5mph to 12mph, or 1km to 18km) and incline 12. Stand beside the treadmill and press the START button to start the calibration procedure. The treadmill will begin to calibrate itself and will leave the factory settings mode once the operation is completed.

Do not modify any values other than English vs Metric (Miles vs Kilometers).

TRAINING GUIDELINES

Exercise

Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are:

• Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance)
• Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency
• Decreased risk of coronary heart disease
• Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight
• Delaying the physiological effects of age
• Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.

Basic Components of Physical Fitness

There are four all-encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role.

Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people.

Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time,

e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping.

Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness.

Cardio-Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs

Aerobic Fitness

The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity.

The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen.

Anaerobic Training

This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long-term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint). The Training Threshold

This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter.

Progression

As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement

Overload

This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

Specificity

Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

Reversibility

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success.

WARM UP

Every exercise program should start with a warmup where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warmup and cool down and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.

Warm Down or Cool Down

This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly o the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles

Heart Rate

As you exercise, so the rate at which your heart beat also increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.

To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side. As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, so your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves.

The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”.

The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate.

The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average fitness, you may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group.

The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about 80% of maximum.

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.

Two final comments: (1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it; (2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to it.

Endurance Circuit Training

Cardiovascular endurance, muscle, strength, flexibility and coordination are all necessary for maximum fitness. The principle behind circuit training is to give a person all the essentials at one time by going through your exercise program moving as fast as possible between each exercise. This increases the heart rate and sustains it, which improves the fitness level. Do not introduce this circuit training effect until you have reached an advanced program stage.

Body Building

Is often used synonymously with strength training. The fundamental principal here is OVERLOAD. Here, the muscle works against greater loads than usual. This can be done by increasing the load you are working against.

Patronization

This is the term used to vary your exercise program for both physiological and psychological benefits. In your overall program, you should vary the workload, frequency and intensity. The body responds better to variety and so do you. In addition, when you feel yourself getting “stale’, bring in periods of lighter exercise to allow the body to recuperate and restore its reserves. You will enjoy your program more and feel better for it.

Muscle Soreness

For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days.

If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced, or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor.

What to Wear

Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”.

Breathing during Exercise

Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.

Rest periods

Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm-up stage again.

The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one-minute rest periods

STRETCHING

Stretching should be included in both your warmup and cool down and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
