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.7.
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.7.
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,
capacity and better blood circulation. In
short, the
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 keep our
vital functions active. The table shows
approximate energy use for an average
person doing various activities.
