sPad500 treadmill FAQ

Use only silicone oil or spray to lubricate the running belt.

The distance on the treadmill is displayed in kilometers.

It is important to note that treadmills should ideally be used with sneakers that have smooth, flat soles. Trail shoes or shoes with studs or coarse soles can cause excessive wear, which may damage the device.

The lubrication intervals depend on how often you use the treadmill:

• For frequent use (3-5x a week): Apply 2–3 drops every 2-3 weeks.
• For less frequent use (1-3x a week): Lubricate every 6–8 weeks.

This treadmill was specifically designed for use in offices and homes to meet the particular requirements of these environments. It is characterized by particularly low noise levels, with sound levels of approximately 50-70 dB. Please note that the type of surface and the acoustic properties of the room can affect the noise level. Nevertheless, we highly recommend this treadmill to anyone looking for a quiet device for personal use or at work that will not disturb the surroundings.

We recommend cleaning your treadmill every few months. Dust can accumulate inside, which is perfectly normal for treadmills. Regular cleaning helps ensure the product lasts longer.

Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply.
2. Wait two minutes for any residual current to dissipate completely.
3. Carefully unscrew the motor cover.
4. Clean the interior to remove dust and dirt that could block the ventilation.
5. Lubricate the treadmill with silicone oil as instructed in the manual.
6. Secure all parts back in place and test the device.

Please note: This procedure will not affect your warranty and is part of normal maintenance.

The maximum user weight for the sPad500 is 180 kg.

Calibrating the incline

If the incline is stuck or no longer responds correctly, you can reset the incline motor as follows:

1. Press and hold the Start and Stop buttons at the same time.
2. Then also press the Incline button.

The incline mode will now automatically start calibration. During this process, the incline will move all the way up and then back down.

Note:
Please do not interrupt this process and make sure there are no objects on or under the treadmill.
