For Your Safety
■ The running belt should be used only for its intended purpose,
i.e. for physical exercise (walking and jogging) by one (1) adult
persons.
■ The running belt is not suitable for commercial use.
■ Any other use of the equipment is prohibited and may be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or
injury caused by improper use of the equipment.
■ Damaged components may endanger your safety or reduce the
lifetime of the equipment. For this reason, worn or damaged
parts should be replaced immediately and the equipment taken
out of use until this has been done. Use only original Kettler
spare parts.
■ The running belt has been designed in accordance with the
latest standards of safety. Incorrect repairs and structural modi-
fications (e.g. removal or replacement of original parts) may
endanger the safety of the user.
■ The running belt must be set up on firm even ground. Ensure
that the power cable is not pinched and that no-one can trip
over it.
■ Always ensure that the space under the running belt is kept free,
i.e. that there are no objects, pets etc. beneath it.
■ Never touch the moving belt with your hands. Also ensure that
there are no objects close to the belt or the rollers which could
be pulled into it thus causing injury or damaging the unit itself.
■ The running belt is not suitable for use by persons weighing
over 110 kg.
■ The unit should be positioned in such a way that there is a space
of 100 cm on both sides and 200 cm behind it.
■ The unit requires a power supply of 220-230 V / 50 Hz. It
should be connected only to an earthed safety socket with a
single 16-A fuse. Do not under any circumstances carry out elec-
trical repairs or alterations yourself. Always ensure that such
work is done by a properly qualified electrician.
■ Do not use a multiple power socket for the running belt. If an
extension cable is being used, ensure that it complies with the
VDE regulations.
■ When the unit is not in use, unplug it from the power supply.
■ When the running belt is in use for the first time, a smell may be
noticed. This is caused by the belt warming up.
■ Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance work, always dis-
connect the running belt from the power supply (i.e. pull the
plug out of the socket).
■ Never allow liquid of any kind to enter the interior of the run-
ning belt unit.
■ Repairs on the electrical components in the unit should be car-
ried out by qualified persons only.
■ Always observe the general safety rules and precautions for
working with electrical equipment.
■ Prior to training attach the cord of the running belt stop trip to
your clothing.
■ The Kettler "Alpha” treadmill has an emergency stop mecha-
nism for your safety. Before starting your workout, fasten the
cord of the safety key to your clothing. If the treadmill has been
shut down by removing the safety key, restart it by reinserting
the key. The treadmill does not restart automatically. Further
instructions concerning the handling of the safety cut-out can be
found in the "Operating Instructions for Treadmill with M 9772
Training Computer”.
■ An unmonitored use of the treadmill by other people can be
prevented by removing the safety key and keeping it safely hid-
den.
■ In case of an emergency, hold on tightly to the handrail with
both hands and leave the treadmill by means of the antislipping
surface of the lateral platform. Activate the emergency stop
mechanism (safety cut-out).
■ Should you be in any doubt, please consult your dealer
.
All Kettler products are designed in accordance with the latest safety regulations and undergo a constant process of qua-
lity control during manufacturing. The knowledge gained in this process is used to constantly improve and develop our
products. In order to offer our customers the very best in product quality, we reserve the right to make technical changes
at any time. In spite of this, should you have any cause for complaint, please contact your Kettler dealer.
Handling the equipment
■ Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to ensu-
re that it has been correctly assembled and checked.
■ Do not store or use the equipment in damp rooms.
■ The running belt is designed for use by adults and children
should not be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave
unpredictably and dangerous situations may occur for which
the manufacturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, child-
ren are allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are
instructed in its proper use and are supervised accordingly.
■ Always wear suitable shoes (running shoes) when using the run-
ning belt.
■ Before beginning your first training session, familiarize yourself
thoroughly with all the functions and settings of the unit.
■ If the equipment is in regular use, check all its components
thoroughly at appropriate intervals. Pay particular attention to
the tightness of bolts and nuts.
■ Depending on the degree of use and load to which the unit is
subjected, the belt may tend to stretch or slip. Tighten the belt as
described. Adjust the tightness of the belt as described in section
H (Fig. 4).
■ Observe the movement of the edge of the belt when it is in use.
If it tends to run towards the side, readjust it accordingly (Fig.4).
